TESUP Joins Eurogia2030 in AI-RAN Smart Energy Car Park Project
TESUP is thrilled to announce that the AI-Enabled Renewable Energy Powered Car Park Management Optimized Platform (AI-RAN) project, in which we are a proud participant, has reached a major milestone by receiving the prestigious Eurogia2030 Cluster Label. This endorsement comes after the first phase of the project was successfully reviewed and approved, marking an important step in our commitment to transforming urban parking and energy management through renewable technologies.
About the AI-RAN Project: A Game-Changer for Urban Parking and Energy Efficiency
The AI-RAN project is a cutting-edge initiative that addresses two of the most pressing issues in modern cities: the scarcity of parking spaces and the growing need for efficient electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. With the increasing number of vehicles in urban areas, traditional parking solutions are proving insufficient, leading to congestion, increased fuel consumption, and environmental degradation. AI-RAN aims to solve these challenges by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with renewable energy solutions such as vertical wind turbines and solar panels to create a smart, energy-efficient parking management system.
This innovative platform will allow real-time monitoring of parking spaces, the optimization of EV charging stations, and the utilization of renewable energy to power the system. The ultimate goal is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of urban transportation while providing a seamless experience for drivers.
TESUP’s Role: Addressing Key Infrastructure Challenges
As part of the international consortium for AI-RAN, TESUP aims to address challenges related to electric vehicle charging infrastructure, energy management, smart parking, secure payment systems, and cybersecurity. By leveraging our expertise in renewable energy, TESUP will play a key role in integrating vertical wind turbines into the project to provide clean energy to power EV charging stations and parking facilities. This renewable energy will ensure that the parking system operates efficiently while reducing its environmental impact.
TESUP's strategic positioning, combined with a robust international distribution network and partnerships with top logistics firms, ensures TESUP’s continued relevance and leadership in the renewable energy market. Our role goes beyond just providing wind energy solutions—our involvement spans across the entire smart infrastructure of the project.
Project Consortium: An International Collaboration
The AI-RAN project is led by ARMA City and includes several prominent partners from various sectors, including:
- TRUGO: Specializing in energy management and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, TRUGO will supply and manage the EV charging stations.
- MSG: Experts in wind energy systems, MSG will provide technical support for the design and operation of renewable energy solutions.
- WOC Software: Responsible for developing the digital infrastructure of the smart parking system.
- PAYCORE: Focused on payment integration and financial technology to ensure seamless transactions within the parking platform.
- ORBIK: A cybersecurity company that will ensure the secure operation of the software and data management systems.
- PARQUERY: Specialists in AI and parking management solutions, PARQUERY will provide real-time vehicle detection and monitoring technologies.
- DEMETER: R&D experts in environmental technology, DEMETER will assist in optimizing the use of renewable energy in the project.
TESUP is proud to be the sole provider of wind energy solutions in this prestigious group, contributing significantly to the project's overall success and sustainability.
Project Budget: A Major Investment in Urban Sustainability
The AI-RAN project is backed by a comprehensive budget of €2.42 million, reflecting the consortium’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. This budget will be allocated over the 24-month project duration, with funding supporting research, development, and implementation across the different work packages.
TESUP’s financial commitment to the project is significant, as we will be investing €325,000 of our own resources into the development, delivery, and integration of our wind turbine technology. This investment is part of our long-term strategy to remain at the forefront of renewable energy solutions and expand our role in international sustainability projects. Our funding will also contribute to testing, monitoring, and optimizing wind energy output in real-world conditions, ensuring that the AI-RAN platform delivers maximum efficiency and meets its environmental targets.
Funding and UKRI Discussions: Securing the Future of AI-RAN
With the approval of the Eurogia2030 Cluster Label, the AI-RAN project is now moving into its next phase. The consortium is currently in discussions with the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to secure additional funding to cover a portion of the project’s budget. UKRI’s potential investment would accelerate the deployment of the project across urban centers in Europe, bringing smart, renewable energy-powered parking solutions closer to reality.
TESUP is actively participating in these discussions, seeking to expand the scope of our wind energy contributions as the project scales up. We believe that securing additional funding will not only benefit the AI-RAN project but also serve as a catalyst for future urban infrastructure initiatives that prioritize clean energy and sustainability.
Impact on Urban Environments: Cleaner, Greener Cities
The AI-RAN project is set to have a transformative impact on urban environments by reducing carbon emissions, optimizing land use, and promoting the use of renewable energy. The parking system will be powered by clean energy from wind and solar sources, contributing to the global transition toward low-carbon cities. By integrating AI-driven parking management with renewable energy, the project will also alleviate congestion, reduce operational costs, and offer a user-friendly experience for city dwellers and electric vehicle owners.
TESUP is proud to play a pivotal role in this transition, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for urban centers worldwide. Our vertical wind turbines will not only meet the energy needs of the parking system but will also generate surplus energy that can be fed back into the grid, further amplifying the project's positive environmental impact.
Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Smart, Sustainable Cities
The AI-RAN project is a testament to the power of international collaboration and innovation in addressing some of the most pressing challenges of modern urban living. With the support of Eurogia2030 and potential funding from UKRI, TESUP and its partners are poised to deliver a groundbreaking solution that will enhance urban mobility, reduce environmental impact, and pave the way for a cleaner, more efficient future.
Stay tuned as we continue to provide updates on the AI-RAN project and TESUP’s ongoing contributions to smart, renewable energy solutions. Together, we are shaping the cities of tomorrow—cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable.
