ASIMUTE

The ASIMUTE project is a cross-border cooperation project involving 10 academic partners, 7 industrial partners and 5 institutional partners from France, Germany and Switzerland, including four Eucor universities: the University of Freiburg, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the University of Strasbourg and the University of Haute-Alsace (UHA).

The aim of the project is to develop innovative solutions for smart energy management in the region, particularly in the context of the energy transition and the increasing use of renewable energies.

Like any multidisciplinary project, ASIMUTE covers several complementary areas of research. On the one hand, it is based on a technical and technological approach that includes work on artificial intelligence in the energy sector, cybersecurity of energy systems, networked electricity microgrids and the development of solutions for reusing batteries from electric vehicles in the sense of a ‘second life’ for stationary storage applications. It is also based on the development of simulation software to investigate the integration of vehicle-to-home (V2H) systems into private photovoltaic installations.

In addition, the project takes a societal approach from the field of social sciences, focusing in particular on user behaviour towards new energy technologies, the development of a platform to facilitate exchange between citizens and local elected representatives, and the harmonisation of the legal and regulatory framework in the Upper Rhine region. The results of this work will help to support users in improving their energy management while also having a positive and sustainable impact on the environment.
