Andorra Research Innovation (AR+I) is a private foundation in the public sphere whose mission is to generate knowledge and develop innovative solutions to address current and future challenges.
Andorra Research and Innovation carries out its activities both within the territory of the Principality of Andorra and abroad. Internationally, collaborations are established through agreements, contracts, and partnerships with public administrations, foundations, associations, or commercial companies, as well as through its agents.
Andorra Research + Innovation (ARI)andAndorra Business (AB)organized a workshop to finalize the elaboration of the national strategy for innovation and entrepreneurship presented last July in the economy commission in Parliament.
In Monday´s session, 11th of October, the Minister for Presidency, Economy and Enterprise, Jordi Gallardo, the Secretary of State for Economic Diversification and Innovation, Marc Galabert, and the directors of ARI and AB, Marc Pons and Judit Hidalgo, worked alongside actors from various entities and sectors such as the Chamber of Commerce, the CEA, the Andorran Family Businesses, the Ministry of Education, NIU by Andorra Telecom, FEDA, the Andorran Banks Association, the Andorran universities, Carlemany and Europea, among others.
The main point of the workshop was the elaboration, in conjunction with the aforementioned players, of a plan of action, as foreseen in the previously presented strategy and supported by legal deployment adapted to new contexts, must serve to catalyze talent and new business initiatives within the framework of innovation, research, Technology and the new digital and knowledge economy.
A country transforming plan that will be jointly developed by the private sector, the public administration, institutions of research and innovation, as well as citizens. In this sense, the Minister for Presidency, Economy and Enterprise pointed out that "these ties are known as the quadruple helix model. We believe it is fundamental to encompass the most relevant actors upon whom the ecosystems of innovation and business network are developed, with the accompanying and support of the public sector, and who have to be the main motors of this change".
The aim of this Innovation and Entrepreneurship strategy is to take maximum advantage of the country´s talent and capacity so that knowledge reaches products and services that have an impact on improving the quality of life of residents and the Andorran economy in a sustainable way.
The energy storage system at our Melilla thermal power plant is an award-winning project on account of its contribution to the circular economy, based on the reuse of batteries from electric vehicles to guarantee the electricity supply of the entire city.
The investigation of new energy storage systems in the move towards a new decarbonised model has led us to test a pioneering system in Europe: the reuse of electric vehicle batteries to guarantee the security of the electricity supply in a system which is isolated from the electricity grid, as in the case of the autonomous city of Melilla.
The project is called "Second Life Battery Energy Storage System" because it is based on the reuse (second life) of batteries previously employed in electric vehicles. It is a storage system installed in our Melilla thermal power plant comprising seventy-eight interconnected batteries with a power of up to 4 MW and a maximum stored energy of 1.7 MWh. This large battery will guarantee the improvement of the energy supply of Melilla, which has 86,120 inhabitants, reducing the possibility of power cuts in the autonomous city.
This circular economy initiative has received the BASF award for the best circular economy practice in Spain. These awards recognise projects or research that are based on the circular economy and contribute to or have the potential to contribute substantially to the development of business competitiveness in this country, especially projects that have a social and environmental sustainability approach.
These are the main advantages of this innovative system, a clear example of a circular economy:
This project has the collaboration of the automotive manufacturer Nissan and 78 "battery packs" from its Nissan LEAF model are used in it.
At Endesa, we are pioneers in the research and development of large-scale energy storage projects, within our commitment to developing a no-emissions energy model. Our strategy focuses on growth in renewable energy, electrification of demand, energy efficiency, and the phasing out of traditional generation systems and energy storage systems.
Along these lines, in the area of coal plants that are closing we are promoting future plans that include the development of new renewable energy plants and, in the case of the Andorra (Teruel) project, a large-scale energy storage system of up to 159.3 MW.
Among our storage projects, the Carboneras (Almería) thermal power plant system stands out. It is currently the largest in Spain and is based on 20 MW lithium-ion batteries with a production capacity of 11.7 MWh. Another similar one is planned at the thermal power plant that the company owns in As Pontes (A Coruña) and which is currently in the processing phase.
To these initiatives must be added the Store project, the first we developed, based on batteries located on different Canary Islands, which has successfully demonstrated the operation and the possibility of strengthening the grid in isolated electrical systems.
Beyond battery-powered energy storage systems, we also have pump-based storage systems in several hydroelectric plants and we participate in the Gorona del Viento wind-pumped hydro power plant, on the Canary Island of Hierro.
