When an incident occurs in the MV/LV network, whether programmed or unforeseen, there is a possibility of feeding all or part of the affected network with Generators in order to reduce the real affectation, decreasing the TIEPI of the incident. There are situations in which the Generating Sets currently used by Endesa may not be valid for several reasons: size, noise, environmental conditions, availability of the resource (Installation time or transfer to the incident site) or cost. In addition, it would be interesting to be able to geolocate these assets and see their actual state for more efficient use.

GOAL: for the third consecutive edition, Endesa is looking for innovative proposals in Transfiere, especially for the implementation of a smaller-sized, much more quietly, more flexible and/or a substancially more economic MV/LV network supply system than the current ones. On the other hand, as an alternative, it is proposed to be able to have a system that allows to locate the current devices and to see their state in real time to improve the efficiency of the operation.

AERTEC SOLUTIONS seeks innovative solutions to create new business models based on the Digital Transformation in the exploitation of data generated at an airport. Find out all the detailed information here.

GOAL: to analyze business models based on the Digital Transformation applied in the exploitation of data from an airport, which allows to make profitable the potential investments in new systems or the already existing ones, through their capture, analysis and exploitation. Airports are immersed in a process of continuous modernization. However, it is not enough to deploy technology, however innovative it may be, but this technology has to demonstrate a tangible value contribution to the business. We understand that many of the existing technologies, despite providing real value to stakeholders, have not been deployed at an airport due to the lack of an economic model that makes them viable.

Those research groups, technology centres, start-ups or spin-offs interested in presenting their technological capabilities to this challenge should contact the organisation before 7 February 2020.

GOAL: feeding mobile operator equipment placed in a support of the Transport Network. In order to guarantee the connectivity of IoT devices and to bring different telecommunications services to rural areas far from auxiliary supply systems, taking advantage of the existing infrastructure, Red Eléctrica is looking for innovative solutions capable of supplying uninterrupted power to electronic equipment with a power of between 5 and 6 kW on supports of the electrical energy transmission grid near these areas.

The proposed solutions must be: sustainable, so they cannot be based on generators that use fossil fuels; efficient, trying to minimize the necessary maintenance; safe, so that the energy transported by the lines can be used, but there cannot be direct electrical contact with them to avoid any interaction with the operation of the electrical system during its installation, operation and maintenance; and reliable, so that the continuity of the service is ensured.

Those research groups, technology centres, start-ups or spin-offs interested in presenting their solutions to this challenge should contact the organisation before 7 February 2020.

GOAL: Sustainable Tourism should support the blockchain entrepreneurship through the implementation of pilot projects that would allow to have concrete experiences of use with this technology in one of the key sectors in Spanish economy.

The projects must present a solution for reporting on load capacity, alerts and sustainable indicators (economic, social, cultural and environmental) that can provide information in real time, useful for decision making in tourist destinations. This system will pay special attention to indicators that could serve to calculate the load capacity of the destinations and their main tourism resources, allowing for more effective promotion and management that will guarantee the experience of the user who consumes the product or service. The pilot project should be developed for the territory of Formentera but replicable to other destinations.

The call is aimed to start ups and small businesses and will be open from January 14 to February 7, 2020. However, the organizers of this Open Call reserve the right to suspend, extend and / or modify the duration of the deadline for submission of applications, at any time and at its own criteria. Find out all details here.

The sharing of this challenge with research groups will take place within the framework of Transfiere, in line with the main contents of the Open Innovation Area. Don’t miss the opportunity to present your innovative project to this innovative Open Call.

CHALLENGE 1: Use of drones in closed spaces to carry out inspections

GOAL: the conditions of danger, closed environments, and physical difficulty due to very small spaces, make it very difficult and complex to carry out detailed inspections in the sewage networks. The aim is to apply drone technology in these environments, improving both the depth of inspection and the working conditions of the operators.

EMASA is looking for an innovative solution for the use of drones so that they can navigate through different closed spaces (ducts, tanks, etc.) along with a software development that allows the mapping of the drone’s route and the detection of possible points of interest. As a starting point they propose:

• Video recording of the inspected areas
• Topographic model generation of the inspected element (LIDAR camera or similar)
• Geopositioning of the drone’s path. We are interested in knowing not only where it starts from and where it arrives, but also the complete route to be able to mark with accuracy the route of the drone and each of the incidents that are detected, to link it to the corporate GIS.
• Machine learning processes to detect and mark the possible conditions of the inspected area.

Those research groups, technology centres, start-ups or spin-offs interested in presenting their technological capabilities to this challenge should contact the organisation before 7 February 2020.
