FIRST StoRIES TRANS-NATIONAL ACCESS CALL

TNA Call No.: 1

Call topic: Application oriented hybrid and sustainable energy storage solutions

CLOSED

The first StoRIES TNA call was closed in August 2022 and foresaw three different sources of innovation: materials research, development and testing of a component, device or cluster of devices, and integration of the innovation into the energy system.

 

The four applications received for the first call were evaluated according to the rules described in D2.2 General rules for TA according to Access Policy

by members of the Selection Panel who have expertise in the field of the proposed projects. The evaluators were asked to provide a score reflecting, inter alia, the quality, scientific excellence and relevance of the proposals to EU and StoRIES policies. The average of the scores received, which in all cases reached more than 30 out of 50 points, allowed all four proposals to be approved.

The winning organisations, the research infrastructures and the topics of the proposed projects are listed in this table:

SECOND StoRIES TRANS-NATIONAL ACCESS CALL

TNA Call No.: 2

Call topic: Solutions for hybrid energy storage systems to enable long-duration stationary storage

CLOSED

Selected Projects:

The call topic was open to different sources of innovation: material research, development and testing of a component, device or device cluster, simulation of systems or system components, etc. and the integration of the innovation in the energy system. ​

The topic addressed a multitude of different energy storage technologies and their combinations for enabling long duration (from several hours to months) energy storage and is explicitly open to all TRLs. ​

Further assessment of the EU energy storage needs (regardless of short or long-duration) were also strongly invited and encouraged.

The selected projects are contacted in the table:
