Pillar 2: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness

The Global Challenges and European Industrial Competiveness pillar supports research relating to societal challenges and reinforces technological and industrial capacities through 6 CLUSTERS.

It sets EU-missions with ambitious goals tackling some of our biggest problems. More information on Missions is available here.

It also includes activities pursued by the Joint Research Centre which supports EU and national policymakers with independent scientific evidence and technical support.

Social sciences and humanities are fully integrated across all clusters, including specific and dedicated activities.

Pillar II covers activities from a broad range of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs),
including lower TRLs.

Pillar II holds the lion’s share of the HE programme funding.
 
Pillar II supports research projects carried out by international and inter-disciplinary consortia. The projects address specific pre-defined topics proposed by the EC which fall into six different clusters, each of them focused on specific global societal and industrial challenges. More information on the specific content of each cluster is available by clicking the links below:

  1. Health
  2. Culture Creativity and Inclusive Society
  3. Civil Security for Society
  4. Digital Industry & Space
  5. Climate, Energy & Mobility
  6. Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment

Horizon Europe: Pillar 2 projects

SUPERNOVA - Operation and Maintenance and Grid Friendly Tools and Solutions for Solar Data Fusion and Insight Explosion for Reliable, Bankable, Circular PV Plants

HE SUBPROGRAMME (Specific programme): HE-CL5-Climate, Energy & Mobility

Type of action: HORIZON-IA

 

UPV/EHU Partner Status: Beneficiary

UPV/EHU PI: JUAN CARLOS JIMENO CUESTA

Project start: 01/04/2024

Project end: 30/09/2027

Brief description: 

SUPERNOVA will embrace existing proven successful concepts (breaking silos and innovating in sector where R&D&I are usually not a common target) and will integrate them with further disruptive key elements: - O&M and grid friendly design of PV plants thanks to advanced solutions in software for the early design and engineering phase to go beyond yield maximisation.

Severe weather eventsare increasing in frequency and bespoke planning and dedicated mitigation measures must be put in place; - Multilayer approach where standalone solutions can be hybridised and connected in interoperable digital platforms; - Avoid a data tsunami effect on stakeholders by leveraging on AI to manage and govern the immense quantity of data and provide solutions using Instruction Tuned Large Language Models; - Share data with a larger basis to generate value for the data provider and for the data user and study how the process could be also monetized; - Develop solutions related to the use of automated processes that can replace the operator's work in data and image collection, increase the intrinsic value of O&M contracts, free up human resources for data analysis itself and therefore the creation of added value in new services ; - Develop solutions that exploits all the previous key elements towards condition monitoring of PV components in view of circular economy (for e.g., reuse), drive optimal procurement for future projects, provide valuable insights for better services (for e.g. insurance) and ultimately increase profitability.

Combining these features SUPERNOVA will innovate in: O&M and grid friendly design including mitigation measures for severe weather conditions, tools and components for multi aspect sensing, robotic solutions and their hybridisation, data fusion to generate AI based controlled insights explosion via federated PV asset management, classify PV components for re-use and create a PV data space.
