Within TEC4ENERGY, INESC TEC aims to induce a market pull drive into R&D and to generate a convergence of knowledge and competences in order to produce solutions in the energy sector.
The TEC4ENERGY benefits from a strong, recognised INESC TEC expertise in Power Systems, with more than 20 years transferring research results to manufacturers, utilities and large energy users in Portugal, Europe and Brazil.
The advanced solutions, which were designed and prototyped, are transferred to the technological partners or implemented in the daily operations of some of the most relevant companies of the sector such as:
The high scientific competence that leverages the necessary science push of TEC4ENERGY results from the fusion of the extensive knowledge of the Centre of Power and Energy Systems together with all the other INESC TEC Clusters.
