Deliverables

Community activation and involvement monitoring report (opens in new window)

Community members included in the process of the energy transition will be local authorities, local industry representatives, members of the educational institutions, representatives of civil society organisations and average community members themselves. Multi-sectoral coordination among all actors will be the role of a transitional board which establishes and maintains a feedback loop with the broader community. Community energy systems (CES) are established and their outputs with regard to the energy transition goals are documented.

Use-cases, Requirements and KPIs definition (opens in new window)

Related to T11 Definition of the usecases and the resulting requirements of the demonstrators using the IEC 625592 template For each usecase the relevant and specific Key Performance Indicators KPI to be monitored during the project will also be defined

A replication guide for the community-based approach in energy transition project is produced. This supports the application of the approach in new contexts and islands, depicting fixed and variable parameters and pointing out lessons learned in Mayotte.

Costs and benefits of the energy transition for different local actors and under consideration of macro-economic effects (opens in new window)

This report will describe the economic impacts of the islands‘ energy transition. The impact will be specified on three sequential layers, being the energy system level, stakeholder level and overall economy, which are assessed by energy system modeling, actor-suited cash flow analysis and net impact assessment respectively.

Performance analysis and optimisation recommendations (opens in new window)

This report will consist on evaluating if the implemented solution are responding to the objectives. The evaluation will allow to analyse the results with the KPIs defined in the beginning of the project.Then, for all the non-reached KPIs, the task will establish an action plan in order to improve the solution or its use.

Evaluation of the environmental impact of each solution through LCA analysis (opens in new window)

Policy framework guide and report on regulatory aspects and business models (opens in new window)

Based on regulatory and policy framework analysis, observations of market structure and effective business models as well as social impact of energy transition on the local population, this report will deliver generalized recommendations on regulatory, policy and business aspects of island´s energy transition with special focus on the deployed flexibility solution.

Report on solutions to provide virtual inertia to islands' grids (opens in new window)

User manual for wide replication to European islands (opens in new window)

A user manual for replication of clean energy transition strategies on European islands is developed in D10.6. This manual consists of energy profiling of the islands, medium and long-term energy assessments, general guidelines to define transition strategies under varying geographical and socio-economic contexts and methodologies to help the islands to design and monitor cost-effective and socially acceptable energy transition plans.

Long-term energy assessments for islands (opens in new window)

The report will include a detailed assessment for the Mayotte energy system development integrating model-based quantitative analysis and ensuring the active participation of local stakeholders. Through detailed scenario development with the E3-ISL model, the deliverable includes a synthesis of quantitative model-based projections to develop the medium and long-term energy and economic assessment of Mayotte assessing the impacts of energy transitions and exploring barriers and opportunities arising from the uptake of clean energy options.

Impact assessment and outline of best transition pathways (opens in new window)

This report will describe the impact of the energy transition on target region and local population in Mayotte along nine impact category groups based on thematic priorities of the Sustainable Development Goals and reveal most suitable transition pathways. The findings are abstracted to generate a second output report, in which generally valid optimal transition pathways for various contexts and corresponding restrictions are formulated.

Report on networking activities (opens in new window)

in this report, GTI will list the different initiatives with which MAESHA has created synergies, and detail the activities carried out in cooperation or the plans made. The report will explain if and how targets sets for these activities were met.

Baseline community, market and ecosystem assessment (opens in new window)

Through a mixedmethods approach with a combination of qualitative and quantitative assessment tools as well as a review of existing databases an overview of the communitys knowledge and attitudes towards various energy sources usage and reliance on energy consumption habits as well as market and ecosystem determinants will be presented

Detailed energy database for Mayotte (opens in new window)

Related to T13 This deliverable will include a detailed database for Mayotte focusing on the current energy situation by collecting data and information on existing energy and electricity infrastructure energy demand and supply balancing and other ancillary service needs renewable energy potential power plants electricity grid shortterm and strategic energy planning cost of energy and electricity load seasonality economic InputOutput data environmental impacts weather conditions and social attitudes of the local population

Development of long-term assessment of the islands' energy systems (opens in new window)

Report on developing medium and long-term assessments of the energy systems in follower islands using the E3-ISL model calibrated and fine-tuned for the specific islands. Through the development of alternative forward-looking scenarios, the deliverable will synthetize model-based scenario projections with the local experts to explore the challenges and opportunities for clean energy transition in the medium and long-term in the follower islands.

Interoperability-by-design framework (opens in new window)

Related to T14 Definition of the interoperabilitybydesign framework that will ensure the interoperability of the demonstrated solution It will include a stateoftheart of the relevant standards an analysis of the system architecture the definition of interoperability test requirements and the specification of interfaces

Scalability and Replicability Analysis (opens in new window)

Report on scalability and replicability analysis of the demonstrated use-cases and non-technical boundary conditions of the demonstrated solution, including the definition of relevant scalability and replicability scenarios and the simulation results

Energy profiling of the follower islands' case studies and replicability scenarios construction (opens in new window)

This deliverable will gather energy system data and information to develop a comprehensive energy profiling for the follower islands in collaboration with local partners.
