The objective of the Interreg SUDOE IMPROVEMENT project is to convert existing public buildings in which critical loads are predominant into zero energy buildings by integrating combined cooling, heating and power microgrids with active-neutral-controlled inverters using hybrid energy storage systems. This will guarantee the power quality and reliability of the electric supply while increasing the energy efficiency in this kind of buildings. IMPROVEMENT has the following specific objectives:1)To improve the thermal efficiency of this kind of public buildings through the production of solar heating and cooling and the incorporation of active/passive techniques for buildings with zero energy consumption2)To enhance the power quality and reliability of the supply in public buildings with critical loads by developing a fault-resilient power control system for microgrids with an active control of the neutral point and the deployment of a network of IoT power quality sensors. 3) To integrate advanced energy management systems for renewable microgrids with hybrid energy storage system under criteria of minimum degradation, minimum cost of use of the storage system and maximization of clean energy consumption
