This project concerns the development of smart microgrids based on RES to support the sustainable development of the three sectors: energy, water and agriculture. The main aim is to adapt the system to the load profile and storage strategies of modern and sustainable agricultural practices and to serve typical requirements such as pumping and irrigating. Furthermore, the process between generating, […]
Morocco has been leading an ambitious sustainable development strategy for the past decade, particularly in the energy sector. This ambition is manifested by the deployment of renewable energy infrastructures, and recently the electric vehicles charging stations and open and shared data communication, favorable factors to support research actions in the field of connected electromobility. In this context, PSA Peugeot Citroën […]
The team has participated to the Solar Decathlon Africa (SDA) 2019, which was held in Ben Guerir from 21st August to 27th September 2019, together with other members from the International University of Rabat (UIR), the Technische Hochschule Lübeck (THL) and a consortium of academic of Dakar. The team, named AFRIKATATERRE, has designed, constructed and deployed a smart and energy […]
Reducing energy consumption and subsequently CO2 emissions is necessary in key sectors of the economy such as energy, buildings and construction, in the public sector, in cities and urban areas. Three major aspects can be considered for reducing energy consumption : i) self-production of renewable energy, ii) reducing energy consumption by ICT infrastructure and by developing less-energy-consuming methods and protocols […]
The main aim of this project was to develop a holistic platform that integrates smart microgrids and renewable energy production/storage towards energy efficient buildings. Three major research issues were addressed in order to archive the project’s objectives: i) Renewable energy integration and DR(Demand/Response) variance tracking, ii) Context-awareness and data gathering/processing, and iii) ICT for connecting/networking the different components. Promoting Smart […]

The main aim of SELFSERV project was to develop a novel software platform for the definition of diabetes telecare services. It addresses the needs of the Moroccan diabetic patients and hooking into the self-serving “wells” of the Moroccan societies and culture. The platform combines the “self-service” model offered by the service-oriented communities and advanced adaptive control features offered by complex […]
