Placing citizens at the heart of the energy market
MISSION
TwinERGY is an European project that will develop, configure and integrate an innovative suite of tools, services and applications for energy consumers in order to:
Empower citizens to track their energy use and actively participate in the market.
Raise awareness and knowledge about consumption patterns and energy behaviours.
Increase local intelligence and engagement of consumers via the Digital Twin mechanism.
Encourage a green ecosystem, more sustainable and accessible to all.
HOW
The project introduces a first of a kind Demand Response Framework, which allows electricity retailers and local energy communities to introduce themselves in energy markets under the role of an aggregator facilitating consumer representation in the sector.
Engagement of consumers in Demand Response and local optimization in TwinERGY will span from the local generation output to the demand and storage flexibility. This is achieved via:
Engaging consumers in a continuous awareness process towards altering their behaviours and shifting their consumption away from high price periods.
The design of demand response schemes with the participation of selected residential loads to enhance benefits for consumers through their engagement in flexibility transactions and support grid stability.
