Description and objectives

The main objectives are:

Provide an end-to-end interoperable and hierarchical solution to support, encourage and scale the transformation of traditional districts into PEDs, in an interoperable, scalable and replicable way, following a user-centred approach from technology, business operation and social engagement perspectives.
Integrate fog-enabled devices, co-simulation modules, open-standard interfaces/APIs, and an open-standard System Structure and Parameterization (SSP) to connect with tools and networks.
Incorporate a transactive energy approach via a blockchain-based network to allow dynamic and secure smart contracts and energy exchanges.
Support the management and expansion of multi-sectoral PEDs including electricity & heating networks, integration of renewable energy sources (RES), mobility schemes and energy storage, by unifying energy transactions.
Demonstrate the solution in 4 physical pilot sites and 1 digital pilot case across Europe to validate scalability and replicability

Value proposition

Addresses a key gap in the European energy transition: the need for interoperable, scalable management systems for PEDs.
Enables real-time hierarchical energy coordination across devices, buildings, districts and grids, thus fostering optimisation of local energy flows and resource utilisation.
Empowers citizens, public bodies and businesses to actively engage in local energy systems through user-centric tools, participatory models and business model innovation.
Facilitates replication of PED solutions across different European contexts, supporting the vision of a connected European Super Grid.
