Deliverable 1.1 Requirements and specifications

HYBRIS' basis is the optimisation of advanced hybrid systems as high-performant, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions in microgrid applications. HYBRIS is an integrated industrially driven action, that will answer to this challenge in 4 key points: 1) Viability and cost effectiveness: of the use and integration of novel HEES system coupled with innovative microgrid system local RREE generation and loads (residential, tertiary buildings and EV charges stations), achieved by the integration and validation of a suite of technologies, tools and methods enabling their easy application and massive deployment. 2) Technical: pursuing the technical optimization of the HEES system in 3 use case applications covering respectively: 1) Energy services in island grids 2) Energy services in private grids 3) EV charging stations in e-mobility. 3) Optimization and integration. 4) Validation: by using the 3 demonstration sites as open case studies representing the 3 different use case applications and situations found throughout Europe, to leverage knowledge, key exploitable results, adapted business models and market-oriented dissemination for maximizing impact and wide adoption of these novel heating and cooling technologies and approach. HYBRIS features a fully systematic, collaborative and integrated approach to the development and deployment of innovative battery-based hybrid storage system, coupling diverse and complementary breakthrough TRL 5-6 technology assets brought by leading industrials, universities and RTOs, plus ICT tools for viable and cost-effective optimization and further market introduction. All will reach TRL6 by the demonstration and validation of its concepts in 3 use cases applications in 3 pilot sites in three countries. The purpose of this deliverable in short is to: i) Collect requirements and specifications of each single battery technology ii) Provide details on ICT and interoperability of the technologies investigated iii) Provide useful information for the battery and HESS design 4iv) Present the essential usability notions in order to facilitate the consecution of a system that is easy to use and therefore accepted by prospective users ensuring its adoption by the general population v) introduce the general principles of User Centred Design (UCD) that can facilitate the achievement of a product or system that is accepted and utilized by its target users. It helps to understand users' needs and preferences regarding features of a product, task, goals, user flows, etc. This document is addressed mainly to the partners of the Hybris project, in order to collect useful information for the HESS design. Then, every reader interested in battery technologies can receive a deepening about lithium titanate oxide and organic redox flow batteries.
