Demand Response - Residential Innovation for a Sustainable Energy system

Project description

Residential demand response framework for sustainable energy

Given the ongoing energy crisis, the EU plays a pivotal role in the transition towards clean energy. One often overlooked framework with significant potential is residential demand response (DR). The EU-funded DR-RISE project seeks to highlight the advantages of DR within the residential sector. This includes benefits for end-consumers, the overall energy system, and all stakeholders involved. The project’s primary objective is to offer a comprehensive set of tools and services that improve energy efficiency through optimal management. It aims to demonstrate that the benefits of DR go beyond economic considerations. This approach aligns with the EU’s vision of empowering citizens to make informed decisions about their energy consumption.

Objective

Due to the current energy crisis, the EU is reaching a critical point in the energy transition with the Clean Energy Package. Residential demand response (DR) is a promising framework whose potential is completely untapped nowadays. DR-RISE's main objective is to demonstrate the benefits of DR in the residential sector, not only for the end-consumers but for the overall energy system and the actors involved. We will offer a holistic set of tools and services with a twofold objective: increase energy efficiency via optimal management and demonstrate the benefits (not only economic) of DR. The platform will be demonstrated in three different EU countries, focusing on gathering the most diverse environments (e.g. pre-existing energy communities, smart villages, urban blocks of flats, low-income households, etc.). Our approach is completely aligned with the EU's vision to place the citizens at the heart of the solution and empower them so that they can make self-aware decisions. Furthermore, we have developed a methodology around a strong social component that includes a significant co-design process of the tools with the end-consumers, considering vulnerable groups to provide a completely inclusive solution. A first iteration in the pilots will be deployed to assess the DR benefits, including the minimum required devices to do so. Then, building on the previous results, we will iterate a second time by including new hardware and DR approaches to compare the outcomes with the previous baseline. This two-phased methodology will allow us to take corrective measures if needed and assess the potential benefits of multiple sensors and control devices. The platform will therefore reach TRL7/8 by project completion. Furthermore, our plan for dissemination and exploitation, including communication activities, contemplates building the energy helix to reach more than 150 relevant organisations and potentiate clustering activities with initiatives such as BRIDGE and Built4People
