Progress beyond the state of the art:1) Digital Twin Platform: A digital twin interconnected platform was developed forming the interlink between the consumer and the community Digital Twin. The development DT was based on calibrated physics-based models and the arrays of IoT sensing and metering devices. The same models were used to develop the different energy services that allow the building's performance optimization with respect to comfort, energy and especially, flexibility. One of the novelties was the creation of a digital twin of the consumer, using data aggregated by a wearable on her/him. The connection between the physical and the digital world by building the exact replica of the user’s routine energy and comfort wise, creates a secure path leading to the most sought out predictability of consumption and consumer behavior, putting the consumer/prosumer right at the heart of the energy market. 2) Transactive Energy Platform: Developed a TEP which its core is a decentralized transactional platform that offers its participants to sell their flexible energy loads and excess capacity on an open market to the (micro) grid operators or to each other. The Platform uses the Ethereum network and technology to create a trustless auction house where flexible capacity and demand from DERs are auctioned off through encrypted, shared, immutable, and publicly auditable Smart Contracts. This platform offers a path to grid decentralization, energy democratization, and a way to effectively leverage and monetize the emerging DER infrastructure. 3) EVs Dynamic Tariff Charging Platform: An EVs charging network, in a peer-to-peer context, based on a dynamic tariff trading model, was developed and operated within TwinERGY. The proposed solution was supported by the development of a comprehensive information system of the network, as well as by an App for mobile devices addressed to the users – owners of electric vehicles. The information system collected all the information from the charging stations, the energy data in real time as well as information from the end users via the mobile application and supported the integrated management of the network of charging stations, customers and their pricing. Expected results and impacts: 1)Increased number and types of consumers engaged in demand-response across EU, 2)Increased uptake of services that combine energy efficiency with other energy services, technologies and non-energy benefits, 3)Increased reliability of innovative energy services, 4)Accessibility to innovative energy services, 5)Demonstrated and improved viability of innovative energy services, best practices and effective incentives that can be replicated at large scale, 6)Increased predictability of consumption patterns and consumer behavior, 7)Increased data protection and privacy for customers, 8)Increased share of energy or power that can be mobilized to provide flexibility to the grid and increase the hosting capacity for RES.
