This strategy aims to maximize ITER’s contribution to the technological development of the island through the transfer of knowledge and the generation of synergies with local companies.
Within the framework of this collaboration, ITER’s Engineering Director, Jesús Rodríguez Álamo, met with EAVE’s CEO, Luis Linares Soto, and its manager in the Canary Islands and co-founder Josué García Díaz.
During the meeting, the WALL-AI system developed by EAVE was presented and installed as a test in one of the houses of the LivingLab Casas Bioclimaticas ITER. In these houses the 3Kw inverter developed by the electronics department of ITER is used, to which the WALL-AI system was connected to analyze the data generated by the inverter during its operation and to learn the patterns of use. According to EAVE, the WALL-AI system not only distributes and improves energy efficiency, but also turns any photovoltaic installation into an intelligent weather system, capable of forecasting energy needs and adapting to actual consumption.
The LivinLab of the ITER Bioclimatic houses is a full-scale bioclimatic laboratory (Living-Lab), consisting of 24 different housing units designed under bioclimatic and renewable energy integration criteria. Transferring the knowledge acquired by this accommodation and contributing to the development of new technologies in this field is one of its main objectives.
The company EAVE is an SME based in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, which has its R&D department located in Tenerife and has been a finalist in the National SME of the Year Award 2023.
