This strategy aims to maximize ITER’s contribution to the technological development of the island through knowledge transfer and the generation of synergies with local companies.
As part of this collaboration, a meeting was held between ITER’s Engineering Director, Jesús Rodríguez Álamo, and 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 its installation was carried out as a test in one of the homes of the ITER Bioclimatic Houses Living Lab. In these homes, the 3kW inverter developed by the ITER electronics department is used, to which the WALL·AI system was connected to analyze the data generated by the inverter during its operation and learn usage patterns. 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 predicting energy needs and adapting to actual consumption.
The ITER Bioclimatic Houses Living Lab is a real-scale bioclimatic laboratory (Living-Lab), consisting of 24 different housing units designed under bioclimatic criteria and renewable energy integration. Transferring the knowledge acquired by this accommodation and contributing to the development of new technologies in this field is one of its main objectives.
EAVE is an SME based in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with its R&D department located in Tenerife, and has been a finalist in the National SME of the Year 2023 Award.
