The project brings together an expert consortium of Orkney-based partners — The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), SMS, Aquatera, Community Energy Scotland, Heriot-Watt University and Orkney Islands Council, to create a ‘smart energy island’ which will demonstrate the integrated energy system of the future. ReFLEX, which is being part-funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will maximise the use of locally generated green energy, reducing, and eventually eliminating, the need for fossil fuels in Orkney. Upon demonstrating the success of the project, it is envisaged that the concept will be replicated regionally, nationally and internationally to support global efforts of reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. SMS's innovative FlexiGrid™ platform is being used to provide the control and aggregation service required to effectively integrate zero-carbon electricity, transport and heat networks on the islands.
