NORCE is an independent research institute that conducts research for both public and private sectors, to facilitate informed and sustainable choices for the future.
We deliver research and innovation in energy, health care, climate, the environment, society and technology. Our solutions address key challenges for society and contribute to value creation on the local, national and global levels. One of the focus areas of NORC is on energy systems integration across vectors and sectors, energy system efficiency and the integration of locally available renewable energy sources. It is continuously growing throughout the recent years via national and international projects. Beside developing technical concepts and solutions is an interdisciplinary approach which considers business models, stakeholder acceptance and involvement as well as policy a key competence of NORCE. Currently ongoing projects and activities range from concept development over to verification on the lab-level to their implementation and demonstration at pilot sites.

WPs:

Coordinating WP4, as well as tasks Task 4.5 “Asset digitalisation” and Task 6.5 “Economic policy learnings for flexible and efficient EIIs”. Actively involved in : T1.4 “Identification and plan for the involvement of local stakeholders”, T3.5 “Digital validation”, T4.3 Hydrogen; as well as joining WP2, WP5, WP7 WP8

Role/focus:

Within the project Has NORCE two roles, a technical one social science related one. NORCE Technology mainly focus on the coordination of WP4 “Integration of energy flexible technologies” as well as on the digitalisation of assets being one of the main pre-requests for installation and testing the concept of TRINEFLEX at the pilot sites. NORCE Social Science is mainly involved in WP6 as leader of T6.5. T6.5 will study the economic and regulatory framework for utilising the potentials of technical flexibility identified in the project. The aim of the task is to formulate learnings towards existing literature and European transition policies. Further, NORCE Social Science has a smaller role as contributor in T1.4.
