Project description
Smart energy management for sustainable buildings
As Europe strives for climate neutrality, it is crucial to convert buildings from passive structures to energy-efficient and smart-grid-ready ones. This necessitates the extensive integration of renewable energy sources and distributed energy. Smart energy management systems can help prevent constraints and excessive costs. In response, the EU-funded HOLISDER project proposes a solution that involves the active participation of entire buildings or districts in stabilising energy networks. Additionally, consumers’ energy expenses will be reduced through the implementation of a comprehensive framework for demand response. This framework will be combined with modular interoperability, enabling communication based on open standards. To validate effectiveness, the solution will be tested under various scenarios in four European countries.
Objective
HOLISDER introduces a Holistic Demand Response Optimization Framework that will enable significant energy costs reduction (~45%) at the consumer side, while introducing buildings as a major contributor to energy networks’ stability in response to network constraints and conditions.
HOLISDER brings together a wide range of mature technologies and integrates them in an open and interoperable framework, comprising in a fully-fledged suite of tools addressing the needs of the whole DR value chain. In this way it will ensure consumer empowerment/transformation into active market players, through the deployment of a variety of implicit and hybrid DR schemes, supported by a variety of end-user applications for Personalized Informative Billing, Human-Centric Energy Management, Load Scheduling and Intelligent Controls, Self-consumption promotion and cost-effective storage, Predictive Maintenance, along with Context-Aware Automation.
The backbone of HOLISDER project consists in an “open” and modular interoperability and data management framework that will enable open standards-based communication along the DR value chain. It will integrate two main commercial technologies/ products (JACE, EF-i) to ensure seamless information exchange, communication and operation on top of any Building and District EMS, as well as, Smart Home systems/devices.
On the business side HOLISDER will focus on the definition of new business models for intermediaries and third parties (aggregators, energy retailers, facility managers, ESCOs) that will facilitate consumers’ involvement into energy markets by acting on their behalf and making the most out of their flexibility value.
The HOLISDER framework will be validated in 4 large-scale demonstrators/pilot sites, located in Greece, UK, Finland and Serbia, incorporating diverse building types, heterogeneous home, building and district EMS and devices, a variety of energy carriers and spanning diverse climatic conditions, demographics and cultures.
