Description and objectives
The HarvRESt project aims to resolve land use conflicts between the energy and food sectors by integrating renewable energy systems on farms. This approach seeks to make farms climate neutral, optimize production, reduce the impact on natural resources and biodiversity, and provide energy services to communities.
The project addresses the barriers perceived by farming communities, develops a decision support system and promotes the integration of renewable energy on farms through four different use cases. It also acts as a knowledge hub for best practices in this field.
Value proposition
- Modeling Tool for Agricultural Hybrid Power Plants: Virtual modeling tool that allows the detailed simulation of an agricultural hybrid power plant. This facilitates the planning and optimization of facilities for efficient and sustainable generation.
- Consumer Demand Modeling for Local Renewable Generation Integration: A tool that models consumer demand for integrating local renewable generation. This tool allows adjusting energy supply and demand in a precise way, promoting self-sufficiency and energy efficiency.
- Multicriteria Assessment for Integration into DSS Platform: Development of a multi-criteria assessment, designed to be integrated into the project's DSS platform. This provides a comprehensive and equitable approach to decision making, considering multiple factors for informed and sustainable decision making.
- Expansion and Validation of Soil Impact Methodology: Expand and validate the methodology for assessing soil impact, following CWA 17898:2022. This expansion and validation ensures an accurate and up-to-date assessment of environmental impact in terms of land use.
