What: 6th OPENTUNITY General Meeting

Where: UNE headquarters in Madrid, Spain

When: 11-12 February 2025

The sixth general meeting of the OPENTUNITY project took place in Madrid, Spain, on February 11 and 12, hosted by UNE at their headquarters. Janez Gregor Golja represented our team at the event and outlined the progress of the Slovenian pilot site.

The first day was dedicated to developments across technical work packages. During the presentation of WP4 innovations, Janez provided an update on task Optimal Selection of Available Flexibility. He showcased the progress made so far, including the successful integration of Avantcar’s EV charging stations and Reduxi HEMS as well as presented the analysis of the collected data and the forecasting models developed for these assets. Building on this foundation, the next steps will focus on determining the optimal use of these flexible assets and developing an algorithm to assist the aggregator in identifying the best flexibility options based on forecasted availability.

The second day shifted attention to the pilot sites, with discussions centred around data availability and citizen engagement activities. Janez presented the plans for engaging Amibit and Avantcar users through various interactive initiatives. In addition, a workshop was held to review data availability for the Slovenian pilot, ensuring that Elektro Primorska and Elektro Ljubljana can provide all the necessary inputs for the innovation leaders to carry out their tasks effectively.

Alongside LEST, the meeting was attended by representatives from five other Slovenian partners: Kolektor sETup, Amibit, Avantcar, Elektro Ljubljana, and Elektro Primorska.
