Project description
Innovative tools for the digital energy market
A digital twin (DT) is a digital replica of a physical asset, process, or system. The digital twin can be used to test new ideas or model scenarios in real time without interrupting physical asset operations and user processes. The EU-funded TwinERGY project will introduce a new digital twin framework for the energy market. It will incorporate the required intelligence for optimising demand response at the local level without compromising the well-being of consumers and their daily schedules and operations. The project will ensure that a wide range of consumers/prosumer interests will be represented and supported in the energy marketplace. Key use cases will be trialled in four pilot regions, and the project will develop, configure, and integrate an innovative suite of tools, services and applications for consumers.
Objective
TwinERGY will introduce a first-of-a-kind Digital Twin framework that will incorporate the required intelligence for optimizing demand response at the local level without compromising the well-being of consumers and their daily schedules and operations. The main idea behind the conception of the TwinERGY project lies on the interest of the project partners to exploit the new business opportunities that project implementation delivers and increase the relevance of the DR optimization tools and strategies in the new generation of energy management systems. By coupling mature practice for citizen engagement with service innovation through the lenses of public value, TwinERGY will ensure that a wide range of interests and especially of consumers/prosumers will be represented and supported in the energy marketplace. In this context, TwinERGY will develop, configure and integrate an innovative suite of tools, services and applications for consumers, enabling increase of awareness and knowledge about consumption patterns, energy behaviours, generation/ demand forecasts and increase of local intelligence via properly established Digital Twin-based Consumer-Centric Energy Management and Control Decision Support mechanisms that locally optimize demand response. Key use cases will be trialed across 4 pilot regions making use of cutting-edge methods and tools. Special focus is given on standardization and policy & market reform as key enablers for the successful commercialization of the TwinERGY results. Additional attention is given in establishing knowledge transfer and exchange synergies with similar projects listed under the BRIDGE Initiative, while explicit focus will be given on the establishment of close collaboration with the projects funded under the LC-SC3-ES-5-2018 topic, to further reinforce and catalyze collaborative advancements in research, innovation, regulatory and market issues around Demand Response, RES Integration and Consumer Engagement.
