P2P Market and Energy Sharing designs and consumers participation processes. D2.1
report
This report outlines the foundational framework for enabling peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading and energy sharing within energy communities across Europe. As part of Work Package 2 of the Horizon Europe-funded U2Demo project, this report introduces a set of functional architecture templates designed to support the development and deployment of open-source tools and platforms for energy democratization. The report identifies and analyses nine collective energy activities, interactions of a community as a group within the electricity system, relevant to the U2Demo pilots in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal. These activities range from managing grid constraints (kW-max) and trading flexibility, to models of energy sharing and community self-balancing. Each pilot demonstrates unique priorities and constraints, offering insights into the diversity of local implementations. A central theme of the report is the role of coordination mechanisms: processes that align individual member actions within a community. The report categorizes coordination types (e.g., direct control, mediated cooperation, implicit competition) and evaluates their impact on functional architecture design.
