Content: The world shows strong commitment to decarbonise its economy and the energy
sector is considered one of the main enablers for achieving this. The ambitious
goal for the Flexible Energy Systems Integration and Optimization (FESIO)
project, a joint research, development and innovation (RDI) initiative of Novia
University of Applied Sciences (Novia) and Vaasa University of Applied Sciences
(VAMK), is to contribute to the paradigm change of the energy industry and to
support the local region and companies of both of the UASs - the leading energy
cluster in Nordic countries, the Vaasa region.
FESIO aims at executing cross-disciplinary RDI activities for improved research
quality and competitiveness in four interlinked work packages, in collaboration
with stakeholders within the applications of energy, marine (off grid),
transport and logistics:
• Energy system operation and maintenance (WP1),
• Energy system integration (WP2),
• Business models (WP3),
• Ecosystem development (WP4).
FESIO provides new and innovative opportunities for energy system management
and optimization driven by artificial intelligence (AI). It strengthens the
regional RDI expertise regarding energy storage and integration and enhances
competences and ecosystem collaboration towards international acclaim. The
project directly supports energy technology development for enabling a smoother
transition to a lower carbon future.
