Description
The Blue
Growth Plan of the European Union is a long-term strategy to support the
sustainable growth of maritime sectors. In this framework, the Blue Energy is one
of the fundamental and transversal work areas. Renewable resources such as
solar radiation, wind and marine energies contribute to a more competitive and
sustainable development of the Port of Vigo’s sectors and its area of
influence.
The project
“TUTATIS –nZE Cies” aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency in the Cíes Islands
by:
- 100% renewable
energy generation, in terms of electricity and thermal demand.
- Using the
surplus to guarantee a total sustainable mobility and zero CO2 and
NOx emissions.
The project
will create in the Cíes Islands a sustainable system integrated in the natural
environment, capable of covering the energy and water demand in the islands by
using natural resources. This will be a relevant technological and
sustainability challenge because of the application of renewable energy
technologies, remote control and remote management technology based on
artificial intelligence techniques, communications technology and distributed
control of smart micro-grids, applied in an environment with climatic
difficulties (marine environment) and accessibility. All must be compatible with
the environment to minimize its impact.
It will be
shown how the application of monitoring technology, control and artificial
intelligence in the operation and maintenance of mobility systems and
generation of renewable energy minimizes the impact generated by the
development of human activity, in the natural environment.
To achieve
these objectives, the project focuses on the study, development and
implementation of different technologies and systems, all of them interconnected
and communicated with each other to cover the energy demands of the Cies
Islands and to make the project and results accessible to citizens. Specifically,
the project will achieve:
- Electricity
generation.
- Storage of
electric power and electric vehicles’ network.
- Thermal
generation.
- Electrical
network. Smart Grid system.
- Emergency
power supply.
- A control
system.
The project
has 5 main Work Packages:
- WP 1: Data
collection and demand monitoring.
- WP 2: Model
simulation. Selection of technologies.
- WP 3:
Engineering and projects.
- WP 4:
Supply, installation and implementation.
- WP 5:

Expected Results
The results
of the project will serve as an example of how it is possible to make islands
100% self-sufficient in a sustainable way, generating energy from renewable
systems and managing the operation through by using the latest technologies.
The main results to be achieved are:
- Making
the islands self-sufficient in a sustainable way in terms of energy, through a 100%
renewable electricity and thermal supply, without altering the environment.
- Elimination
of fossil fuels from the islands with greater environmental risk.
- Take
advantage of periods of low energy demand to generate and store drinking water
that can be used in times of higher demand.
- Ensure
a complete sustainable mobility with electric vehicles. Install the Smart Grid
system in the electrical network to optimize the use of energy.
- Apply
intensively the technology of monitoring, control and artificial intelligence
in the O & M.
- Make
the system accessible to citizens and visitors through the social networks.

Contribution
- Green and
Innovative Objective: Green and Innovative Islands committed to "Blue
Energy", because it will contribute to the use of sustainable renewable
energies, with very low impact and pollution rates. In addition, it would
contribute to promote a green, sustainable and respectful tourism in the
islands.
- Inclusive
Objective: Inclusive Islands by strengthening, through the incorporation of
renewable energies, the creation of a new professional activity around the
renewable energy sector.

Current State
The WP1 -
initial data collection has been initiated in order to delve into the knowledge
of energy demand and the energy alternatives. This process was developed
jointly between APVIGO and PN Illas Atlánticas, with the technical
collaboration of INSTRA. The final project will be dimensioned based on the
conclusions of this preliminary study.
Immediately
it is necessary:
- Ensure
the necessary financial resources to complete the study that is underway.
- Ensure
the financial resources necessary to start the project definitively.
