Energy management and decision support systems for Energy Positive neighbourhoods (EEPOS)

Description: Das Projekt "Energy management and decision support systems for Energy Positive neighbourhoods (EEPOS)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Teknologian Tutkimuskeskus VTT Oy durchgeführt. EEPOS is a research and development project funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme and runs for a time span of three years (October 2012 - September 2015). The EEPOS consortium develops a new system for energy management and automated load control on the neighbourhood level, the EEPOS Neighbourhood Energy Management System. With the new system, we aim to achieve the following goals by automated shifting of controllable electrical loads and active end-user envolvement in energy management processes: - Matching of local electricity generation and consumption - Congestion management in local electricity grids - Increase of energy efficiency. The EEPOS system will be demonstrated, tested and validated in two extensive field tests in Helsinki, Finland, and Langenfeld, Germany as well as in a complementary simulation based virtual demonstration study for the municipality of Asparrena, Spain. EEPOS focuses on neighbourhood energy management and decision support systems that will integrate local consumers & producers (prosumers) with the main electrical and heating grids. - The objectives are to develop: - Visionary scenarios and business models for neighbourhood energy services for energy trading between prosumers in neighbourhoods and the grid. - Management systems for energy positive neighbourhoods. - Information and decision support system for optimising the use of energy beyond the buildings. - Methods for end-user engagement and interfaces to support them with relevant information. - Validation in real environments and virtual simulations. - The expected progress beyond the state-of-the-art includes e.g.: - New business models and services. - Neighbourhood level energy management system with open interfaces to the grids and local prosumers. - Tools for engagement and motivation of users tool utilising new approaches like gaming, social networking, crowd sourcing etc. - Simulation based evaluations of alternative energy efficiency strategies. - The S/T methodology is to: - Identify business models and ICT requirements for supporting energy positive neighbourhoods. - Develop and integrate energy management and decision support systems between three levels: grids, neighbourhoods and local prosumers. - Validate the systems in real environments and complementary virtual simulations. - The consortium includes 8 academic, industrial and public organisations from 4 countries in different EU climate zones. They combine unique expertise in building services, building management systems, energy efficiency services, end-user needs and interfaces, renewable energy systems, monitoring and energy efficiency focused productivity tools. - The consortium will engage with relevant stakeholders in an early stage of the projects in order to ensure acceptability and impact of the results, and disseminate its findings to them.
