Cluster TWeeD -- 20194
• Networking between industrial or commercial companies and
others actors of sustainable energy sectors.
• Reactive and proactive approaches in order to stimulate new
projects.
• Set-up technical support and management of projects.
• Promote networking by organizing specific events, general
meetings, workshops, bilateral meetings, face-to-face meetings,
visits to companies,...
• Develop synergies with other actors of sustainable energy
sectors (clusters,...).
• Local and international promotion of members.
• Carrying out industry, technical, market and economic studies
on sustainable energy sector.
• Participation in Regional/European/International projects
Scope TWEED
7. 1. Establish an exhaustive diagnosis of the energy sectors by
identifying its strengths and weaknesses, its opportunities and
threats, its prospects, its needs or its challenges in terms of
technological innovation.
2. Carry out a mapping of Walloon and Brussels stakeholders
(companies, R&D centers, training players, etc.), whether or not
they are already involved in the sectors, who have integrable skills
in the value chain.
3. Promote Walloon skills both in Belgium and abroad, at national and
international events via an interactive website and a directory
(paper or electronic document) containing the activities of each
actor.
4. Facilitate working groups to stimulate the implementation of
projects/missions

MeryGrid INTERESTS
This Walloon pilot project has entered the operational
phase. The aim is to test the benefits of local self-
consumption at the zoning scale, bringing together
electricity-consuming companies, renewable (solar and
hydro) production and a storage unit. The energy
management system (EMS) that manages the optimization
of the micro-network should allow a saving of 15% on the
energy bill.
INTERESTS aims the creation of an optimization tool
allowing the definition, the sizing and the management of
"integrated stations" of production, storage and
consumption (refuelling) of renewable energy (electricity /
hydrogen) at the local level. The scenarios developed must
be reproducible and economically viable.

Why is hydrogen seen as the fuel of the future?
In future, hydrogen is supposed to be used for smoothing electricity
feed-in from renewable energies. But it is not only a buffer in times
of high demand or supply, it is also able to connect different
branches of industry or even society: power, industry, heat,
chemical production and mobility can all be fuelled by hydrogen.

Hydrogen in a nutshell
6
Hydrogen is the most present element in the
universe, at the basis of life on earth
Hydrogen is the lightest and smallest atom – one
electron and one proton
Hydrogen does not exist naturally – only combined
in molecules like water
In the form of dihydrogen H2 , it is an energy vector
that allows storage over long periods
Hydrogen allows sector coupling between power
generation, mobility, heating and industry
