Video series about our project activities and results: the Danube Indeet Model

Short introduction to the Danube Indeet Model

Danube Indeet facilitates the expansion and implementation of renewable energy in the Danube region. Renewable energy expansion requires extension of the electricity grid, which often cannot be carried out at the same pace. Thus, the fluctuating electricity needs to be stored and utilised outside the electric grid to a certain extent. Danube Indeet tackles these issues by providing an integrated concept considering both the energy and transport systems in the Danube region. A viable way is the intelligent integration of electric vehicles as mobile storage solutions, commonly refered to as "vehicle-to-grid", and electrolysis for green hydrogen production.The integration of both concepts can support the expansion of renewable energy application, produced and consumed locally, which supports energy security and independence, while also reducing GHG emissions in the energy sector. However, the implementation requires extensive analyses and modelling to ensure that the concept is economically viable, legally secure, efficient and sustainable in the long run.

The Danube Indeet Model

The Danube Indeet Model is a software tool for sizing and operation scheduling of a renewable energy hub consisting of photovoltaics, batteries, hydrogen storage and electric vehicles chargers. Mathematically exact and based on convex optimization in its computational backend, it offers a user-friendly environment with vast possibilities for defining technical, economical and environmental conditions for the planned investment in a renewable energy hub. The video gives a small insight from the developers who are afffiliated at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, partner on the Danube Indeet project; the link for tool download and free usage will be provided to the interested stakeholders via the project web page by the end of April 2026.
