INTERoperable cloud-based solution for cross-vector planning and management of Positive Energy Districts

InterPED旨在通过部门耦合、跨矢量集成、需求灵活性和消费者参与来实现PED的概念，同时提高当地可再生能源、储存和余热/废热（E/WH）资源的利用率。InterPED将把试点中可用的RES、存储和E/ WH资源（社区资产）与必要的专门知识和ICT专业知识结合起来，以确保PED的运行和电网的稳定性。这将使InterPED的最终用户（聚合器，服务提供商，城市规划者）能够为电网利益相关者（DSO/TSO）和最终消费者（和生产消费者）带来好处。为此，InterPED将提供一个可扩展和适应性强的云平台，包括分析，建模和优化服务，用于规划，监督和控制集成PED（包括电力，供暖和制冷，移动性）。将在试点地点展示优化的PED操作，同时在社区/地区一级实施合作需求响应（DR）战略。除了自动化的控制行动，InterPED还打算通过社区建设（例如CEC或REC）来吸引消费者，这是一个尚未开发的灵活性来源，同时使他们能够在电网平衡中发挥积极作用。通过使其基于云并确保系统互操作性（语法和语义），InterPED将使聚合器和参与者能够采用建议的商业模式（例如ESCO，能源零售商，DSO）立即部署InterPED解决方案，几乎在任何地方，同时降低其可扩展性的成本。确保解决方案在消费者日常生活中发挥良好作用的关键战略是，InterPED将通过参与式共同设计过程，让消费者（社区）和服务提供商参与解决方案的设计。InterPED将在四个大规模试点中验证其综合包的技术和商业可行性，每个试点代表一个现有的PED。

InterPED aims to enable the concept of PEDs via sector coupling, cross-vector integration, demand flexibility and consumer engagement, while improving utilisation of local RES, storage and excess/waste heat (E/WH) sources. InterPED will couple RES, storage and E/ WH sources (community assets) available in the pilots with the necessary know-how and ICT expertise to ensure improved operation of PEDs and grid robustness. This will allow InterPED’s end users (aggregators, service providers, urban planners) to deliver benefits to both, grid stakeholders (DSO/TSOs) and final consumers (and prosumers). To do so, InterPED will deliver a scalable and adaptable cloud-based platform composed of analytical, modelling and optimization services for planning, supervision and control of integrated PEDs (including power, heating and cooling, mobility). Optimized PED operations will be demonstrated at pilot sites, while enabling a cooperative demand response (DR) strategy at community/district level. In addition to automated control actions, InterPED intends to engage the consumers via community building (e.g. CECs or RECs), representing a still largely untapped source of flexibility, while enabling them to play an active role in grid balancing. By making it cloud-based and by ensuring system interoperability (both syntactic and semantic), InterPED will enable aggregators and actors positioned to adopt proposed business model (e.g. ESCOs, energy retailers, DSOs) to deploy the InterPED solution immediately almost anywhere, while reducing the cost to itsscalability. The key strategy to ensure solutions will work well in an everyday context of consumers, is that InterPED will involve the consumers (community) and service providers in the design of the solutions through participatory co-design processes. InterPED will verify the technical and commercial feasibility of its integrated package in four large-scale pilots, each representing an existing PED.
