RENAISSANCE came to an end having achieved its purpose of developing a holistic approach in the development of LECs.
The final results and outputs include a number of tools and results:
A conclusive summary of the work undertaken in RP03:
• Management and coordination, risk management, quality strategy, data management, reporting (2nd Periodic Report and D1.4 Final Report included)
• The multi-vector optimization software tool, which is described in detail in D2.4 and makes up the backend of the RENERGiSE tool, together with the application of the optimization tools on the Pilot Sites (D2.5 Optimised site design of the demonstrators)
• Development of the RENERGiSE front end, with a user-friendly and easy to navigate format (presented in D2.6 RENERGiSE designed interface)
• The combination of the backend and frontend, implemented in T2.7 together with an additional round of investigation of the user friendliness of the tool
• In Wp3, the final business case report, D3.2 which continues the work of D3.1 and presents the business cases in the global replication sites
• The evaluation and validation of the energy agreements, fully completed by end of 2021 and presented in D3.4
• A comparative feasibility study of the business cases of the project and the results of the assessment (in D3.5)
• The complete integration of all tools previously developed in WP4, now fit into the RENAISSANCE Platform (ROP) and presented in great detail in D4.6
• The final measurements of the operation of the Pilot Sites, resulting into D5.5. Final Validation report, where we can see the actual results of the 3-year implementation, based on KPI measurements and analysis, together with some valuable lessons learnt and future actions.
• Full implementation of WP6, with the assessment of the Pilot Sites using D2.4 and subsequent recommendations, explained in D6.2
• The final report on all the work undertaken in global replication sites around the world, allowing the replicability and scalability of some of the RENAISSANCE tools and methodologies, described in D6.4 and accompanied by the respective in-depth regulatory barriers analysis per country in D6.5
• The assessment of the potential realization and implementation of smart clusters of energy communities that can act as a virtual power plant and trade directly with the TSO-DSO market, in D6.4.
• The final report on the stakeholder engagement multi-level campaign, that was the focus of the RENAISSANCE work in the past 12 months, proving that with customer participation, everything is possible (presented in D7.4)
• Last but not least, and with great interest, the final report on the exploitation of the project, with a market analysis and business models: in D7.6
• The first assessment of the Pilot Sites operation was completed (D5.4 Validation Report)
In addition, a very successful WP7 Communication and Dissemination led to the over-achievement of KPIs, with 18 scientific publications, a successful public final event, lots of recognition (Renaissance has been invited in numerous events as a guest) ad a strong brand.
