Two projects of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló in the fields of optics, electrical engineering and systems engineering have obtained more than two hundred thousand euros in the last call of the Spanish Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023 to deepen the study of devices based on surface waves (SAW) and the integration of renewable generation sources for their contribution to the operation of the future electricity system.

The main objective of the study "Modelling and characterisation of structured photonic and acoustic materials" is to develop a set of theoretical and experimental tools for the total control of acoustic waves in solids of several hundred MHz or even a few GHz. The aim is to optimise not only their generation and detection, as has been done so far, but also their spatial distribution and spectral composition.

The project is led by Daniel Torrent Martí and Vicente Andrés Durán Bosch of the [Optics Group](https://www.uji.es/serveis/ocit/base/grupsinvestigacio/detall?codi=087) and the [Institute of New Imaging Technologies](https://www.init.uji.es/) of the UJI and is endowed with a budget of €145,200. It will develop theoretical and experimental tools aimed at optimising surface area wave (SAW) devices, currently used in a wide variety of applications, from mobile telephony to biosensors.

The project "Management of renewable systems with storage and control of their converters to contribute to the operation of the future electricity system", led by Emilio Pérez Soler and Ignacio Peñarrocha Alós, members of the [Electricity, Electronics and Automation](https://www.uji.es/serveis/ocit/base/grupsinvestigacio/detall?codi=069) research group and the [Fetech Centre](http://fetech.uji.es/), aims to facilitate greater and better integration of renewable generation sources through an experimental platform of batteries, converters, electronic controllers and real-time simulation equipment.

This initiative has obtained €83,348. On the one hand, it aims to facilitate the integration of photovoltaic plants combined with batteries and, on the other hand, it proposes solutions for the control of the converters used in the grid connection of these technologies, thus considering the future scenario of power grids with an almost complete penetration of renewable energies and weak grid behaviour with low inertia.

**SPANISH RESEARCH PLAN**

The researchers of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló have obtained 4.17 million euros from the Spanish Research Agency, two more than in the previous call, for the development of 38 new research projects of the Spanish Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023, which focuses on the most strategic sectors for recovery, such as health, ecological transition and digitalisation.

The success rate (number of projects approved out of the total submitted) stands at 70% (the national average is 50%), with an average funding per project of around 110,000 euros and 14 more projects than in the previous edition. With the 2021 call, the Universitat Jaume I reaches 23.7 million euros of funding for R&D&I since the creation of the Spanish Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation a decade ago.
