ECSEL 2020 IA Energy ECS

Purpose and goal:

‘Energy ECS’ project will focus on developing European state-of-the-art technologies for future mobility. The solutions are for their micro/ macro energy related challenges, enabling technologies for their ICT infrastructures and electronics hardware that form the basis for related future businesses and services.

Development of various enabling technologies and software for supporting the transition to e-mobility, which make use energy efficient smart systems, is a key part of the green energy transition. These activities will be demonstrated for six different use cases. Expected results and effects:

‘Energy ECS’ project will develop key enabling technologies to the challenges for improving the digitalization of mobility systems via prototypes (hardware, software, services) in these scenarios: - Autonomous Drone Ecosystem on Mobile platforms; - Smart containers in intermodal transport; - Smart grid with e-mobility;

- Self-powered system in tyres.

All the cases have common challenges and needs for ICT infrastructure and energy efficient electronics hardware, thus developing related technology building blocks that provide synergies for the technology owners. Approach and implementation: R&D activities are divided in 9 WPs for developments of six demos. Swedish consortium works on:

- Distributed Energy Solution digital cloud platform usage. - AI implementation for microgrid to larger power systems. - Assessment of cognitive load and emotional response of situational awareness. - Development of immersive training solution based on the virtual reality simulator. - Development of low-power memory architectures for processor platform in low-voltage ICs powered by energy harvesting.

- Development of energy harvesting system for transport and automotive demos.
