Imagine a neighborhood that produces more energy than it uses, like a giant battery that shares power between houses, cars, and heating systems. This project builds a digital brain in the cloud to coordinate all these parts so nothing goes to waste. It's like a smart traffic controller for electricity and heat, making sure the grid stays stable while people save money.
Urban areas struggle to integrate high levels of renewable energy because the grid cannot handle the volatility. Current systems lack the coordination to move energy between heat, power, and transport vectors efficiently.
A cloud-based platform featuring a Renewable Energy Hub Optimiser (REHO) for design and a cross-vector optimiser for real-time management. It includes an Open Marketplace for peer-to-peer energy trading.
If you are an ESCO dealing with inefficient local energy use — this project developed a cloud-based platform that increases local renewable energy share to above 50%. This allows you to manage heating, cooling, and power for entire districts more profitably.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid congestion from too many solar panels — this project developed a cross-vector optimiser that unlocks at least 30% of demand flexibility. This helps you keep the grid stable without expensive hardware upgrades.
If you are a software provider dealing with complex peer-to-peer energy billing — this project developed an Open Marketplace for community energy trading. It uses blockchain to ensure secure and transparent transactions between neighbors.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the cloud-based design is intended to reduce the cost of scaling the solution to new districts.
Yes, the solution is being validated in four large-scale, diverse pilot sites to demonstrate grid robustness and demand flexibility.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on an open marketplace and interoperable cloud services, but specific licensing terms are not provided.
Yes, the platform is designed for interoperability and follows SGAM-compliant architecture to ensure it can be deployed almost anywhere.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with plans for replication in four follower districts after the project ends.
The consortium is highly commercially oriented, with a 50% industry ratio (7 industry partners out of 14). It is led by an SME (R2M SOLUTION SPAIN SL) and includes 4 SMEs in total, spanning 7 countries. This balance of 3 universities and 2 research centers suggests a strong transition from lab-scale theory to market-ready application.
