Objective
This project addresses a critical challenge in Europe’s transition to climate neutrality: enabling Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) to operate as resilient and flexible multi-vector energy systems. In the context of recent geopolitical disruptions, strengthening local energy resilience and reducing dependence on imported fuels has become a strategic priority. REFLEX-REC addresses this challenge by developing a hierarchical game-theoretic decision-support platform for coordinated multi-vector REC operation, integrating: (1) uncertainty-aware forecasting capturing stochastic demand and energy-sharing dynamics; (2) a unified Power-to-X flexibility framework co-optimising battery, thermal and hydrogen storage; and (3) a multi-level game-theoretic coordination mechanism modelling interactions between households, community operators and grid actors to deliver stable, fair and implementable equilibrium solutions.
The project is implemented through a unique international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral consortium, bringing together complementary expertise in energy systems and optimisation. Critically, the consortium provides access to unique infrastructures, experimental facilities and large-scale datasets not available within a single institution. Through structured secondments, researchers directly access these facilities, ensuring deep knowledge transfer and acquisition of highly specialised and transferable skills.
Through this integrated approach, REFLEX-REC trains a new generation of researchers with a distinctive and in-demand skillset spanning multi-vector energy modelling, advanced optimisation and policy integration, while establishing a durable European research and innovation network. By enabling more resilient, flexible and inclusive RECs, the project will significantly contribute to reducing system costs, improving energy security and supporting EU climate targets, while strengthening Europe’s global leadership in clean energy innovation.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
