Measurements showed that these seven objects could already share around 45 per cent energy. With simulations, it was calculated, that with the addition of a shared battery, some 25-30 per cent additional energy can be shared. With the use of a (small) wind turbine on top of that, about 25-30 per cent more can be added.<br \/>\nAlso check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ozkDsSn5IjY\">animation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><u>Second phase<\/u><\/p>\n<p>In the second phase (2026), the project will be scaled up.
