D7.6: Smart Hybrid Grids Technology Road-Mapping

The path analysis for the HYPERGRYD implementation in a smart district is conducted to identify the need for additional technical resources, multi-vector energy management systems, and capital to attain scalability at TRL9 through licensing, partnering, joint ventures, and the creation of new ventures.
Starting with a review of the current European smart district context characterised by Smart Hybrid Grids management at the district level, the most relevant applications of HYPERGRYD technologies are studied.
At the same time, T7.4 aligned closely with T1.3 and the regulation context outcomes, producing inputs and suggestions for advanced regulation to enable a more efficient 4th and 5th DHN generation. The task entailed the following activities:
• Analysis of the relevant European smart districts case studies and the DHN solutions with RES integrations (reference for optimal scenarios for the technology assessment and transition to the 4th/5th DHN generation).
• Analysis of RES penetration at the district level, with evaluation of the improvement due to the HYPERGRYD platform.
• Identification of the main strategy for the reduction of risks due to technological weaknesses and the lack of legislation.
• Definition of potential solutions for the lack of legislation for future scenarios.
The result of this analysis is the Technology and commercialisation roadmap of the HYPERGRYD solution towards TRL9.
