Abstract
Renewable energies stand out as fundamental solutions to address climate change, providing environmental benefits and promoting energy independence. However, renewable plants face challenges such as intermittency, initial costs, and visual effects on the surroundings. The GEDERlab is an innovative energy hub developed at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) that integrates four renewable energies (solar, wind, biogas, and hydraulic) to tackle these challenges. The main objective is only to optimize complementarity among energies but also to develop strategies for efficient storage and optimal management. This project goes beyond research and it aims to become a replicable model at the municipal level. Therefore, the results are extrapolated to a rural municipality in the Valencian Community, to improve energy efficiency, promote circular economy principles and utilize waste as resources. So, in this paper, the components of the energy hub GEDERlab, their integration, and the control system are described to encourage the integration of renewable energy resources.
