Further into energy storage: IMREDD integrates a flywheel device
IMREDD incorporates an innovative “flywheel” energy storage system. This device will store the excess energy production from the photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of the building. The latest flywheel technology is based on the acceleration of a rotor in a vacuum container (without air friction, the flywheel can spin for much longer, at high […]
The mission of IMREDD is to stimulate partnerships with the economic world that generate research, to create initial and continuous education programs and to promote expertise and innovation in companies at the service of economic development and job creation in the territory.
It carries out its activities in the fields of sustainable development and smart cities, based on four Strategic Areas (SA):
• SA1: Environment
• SA2: Risks
• SA3: Energy
• SA4: Mobility
But the main goal, which is transversal to all these domains, is the human being at the heart of the Smart City. Philosophical and ethical aspects, as well as citizen well-being, safety and behavior must be taken into account.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
Urban management has become one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
By 2050, 70% of the world population will live in urban areas. Cities produce 80% of CO2 emissions and concentrate 3/4 of the energy needs of the planet. The goal of smart cities is to better manage the city and make it more pleasant for its inhabitants, its economic actors and its visitors.
Thus, IMREDD has the ambition of building the mediterranean city of tomorrow.
