Project description
Aggregating end users and buildings for energy flexibility
The growing energy needs of end users within energy communities demand innovative energy flexibility solutions. In this context, the EU-funded STUNNED project addresses this challenge by reducing energy demand for building groups organised into energy communities or districts. The project will integrate renewable energy sources, electric vehicles and advanced energy management systems while maintaining stable grid connections. Its services will include demand response, peak shaving, load shifting and congestion management. By aggregating residential and industrial buildings, STUNNED will demonstrate the potential for energy flexibility services, enabling prosumers, consumers and producers to actively participate in electricity markets. Using the Stackelberg game optimisation method, the project will balance the interests of aggregators and building groups, aiming to minimise costs and carbon footprints.
Objective
STUNNED project aims to reduce the overall energy demand of groups of end-users (buildings) aggregated in energy communities or energy districts, integrating renewables, electric vehicles, different proprietary EMS, ensuring stability in connections with the main electrical grid and providing ancillary services such as Demand Response (DR), peak shaving, load shifting, balancing&frequency services, congestion management. Through the aggregation of multiple residential/industrial buildings, STUNNED aims to demonstrate the opportunity to provide energy flexibility services to the electricity network and to facilitate aggregated prosumers, consumers and producers joining the electricity markets. The proposed solution will be based on the Stackelberg Game optimization method, a mathematical technique capable to find the optimal trade-off solution between two different local actors in a three layer configuration: the “middle layer” actor, represented by the Aggregator, and a “lower layer” actors, represented by the group of buildings/industrial sites which will capitalize the possibility to reduce their costs and carbon footprint enabled to the participation in energy and flexibility markets, the “upper layer” actor. Three different schemes will be implemented and compared, addressing three main market configurations (centralized, decentralized, distributed). Techno-economic-legal viability of the proposed solution will be validated through a demonstration campaign in three different EU countries (Italy, Spain and France), also involving local TSOs/DSOs either directly or through the existing markets. Replication and market design and exploitation will be one of the core points of STUNNED concept development. Moreover, STUNNED will develop a solution coherent with the on-going regulatory framework and providing recommendations for enhancing and innovating the current energy communities legislation.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
