Design and performance predictions of plus energy neighbourhoods – Case studies of demonstration projects in four different European climates

Unlocking residential Energy Flexibility on a large scale through a newly standardized interface

Energy Flexibility is the ability of smart devices to deviate from their normal energy producing or consuming behaviour, while still fulfilling their intended purpose, with the goal of contributing to the operation of the energy system. Energy Flexibility has the potential to counteract the mismatch between production and consumption of energy...

Implementation framework for energy flexibility technologies in alkmaar and Évora

As energy generation based on renewable resources does not always match energy consumption profiles, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) should embody energy flexibility technologies to decrease possible negative impacts on existing grids due to, e.g., reverse power flows. As part of the EU H2020 Smart Cities and Communities project POCITYF, the...

Blueprint for the combinatorial strategy in transactive energy-based control mechanism by using energy flexibility platform and interface

The strategic importance of transactive energy (TE) in the world is steadily increasing, and therefore transactive control and coordination mechanism require effective strategy to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis is one of the most effective approaches used for analysing...
