Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TwinERGY (Intelligent interconnection of prosumers in positive energy communities with twins of things for digital energy markets)
Período documentado: 2020-11-01 hasta 2022-04-30
Project Objectives: O1: Introduce residential energy consumers as active players in energy markets and ensure significant benefits through their engagement in human-centric demand response programs, O2: Safeguard distribution grid reliability and the transition to a more fossil-free energy future (increased RES integration) through highly effective demand response strategies on the basis of aggregated flexibility utilization, O3: Deliver an open standards-based modular solution that ensures interoperability between smart grids, energy management systems and smart home devices and holds a high replication potential around the EU, O4: Enable intelligence enhancement of Smart Home Systems and the provision of innovative energy and non-energy services to consumers, O5: Establishing local flexibility markets for the transparent sharing of benefits achieved through flexibility-based DR optimization to all involved stakeholders, O6: Tackle major market entry barriers for prosumers with the introduction of suitable business models for local energy communities and retailers.
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 - Improved modelling of the flexibility levers from the new energy services, 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.
