Amman- November 2, 2016
The 3D MicroGrid Project “Design, Development and Demonstration of a Future –Proof Active Smart Micro-Grid System “ has been launched at the German Jordanian University with partners from Malta, Greece, Germany, Turkey, Spain, Algeria and Cyprus. The project is funded by the Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation Through ERANET Joint Activities via the Higher Council of Science and Technology. It aims at adapting renewable energy resources for solutions to sustainability in terms of electric power demand and supply.
Professor Natheer Abu Obied, the president of the university, emphasized the importance of collaboration with partner universities in research from across Europe. He praises the 3DMicroGrid project being a good fit and complement to our strategy in the adoption of renewable resources at GJU.
Professor Salem Al-Agtash, the Dean of Scientific Research at GJU presented the project with collaboration emphasis to maximize renewable energy utilization, reduce the carbon footprint by minimizing consumption, and improve the power quality while ensuring economic feasibility. Dr. Ing. Brian Azzopardi from Malta College of Science and Technology explained the Scientific and technical merits of the project with focus on decentralized control paradigms, open source Smart Micro-Grid framework, and modularity for scalability of Smart Micro-Grid functions.
Eng. Omer Amawi Director of International Cooperation Department at the Higher Council for Science and Technology indicated that the council’s objective is to setup international standards and recognition in frontier sciences and technologies. Our aim is to maximize benefits of scientific applications for the sustainable socio-economic development of Jordan as well as to foster the institutions and units of scientific and technological research. The Higher Council provides the necessary funding for the support of scientific and technological research services and activities.
