Challenge


European energy market is evolving towards more decentralized, less predictable and flexible to operate forms, as a consequence of the large-scale integration of renewable and distributed energy -> demand response schemes are gaining significant role within energy markets.

Commercial and industrial demand response “is technically and economicallyviable now”, however, residential and small tertiary resources are still excludedfrom the market.

Key enablers


There still remain several key enablers that need to be satisfied towardsunleashing the huge potential and enhancing the commercial viability of DemandSide Flexibility offered by the building sector, while maximizing its value for bothprosumers and energy market stakeholders.

Goals


1. Bring together energy networks, building energy management systems and devices,addressing the needs of the whole demand response value chain through enabling two-way communication, data exchange and integration

4. Ensure consumer empowerment and transformation into active market players reducingtheir energy bills, tackling energy poverty and using various demand response schemes

2. Support hybrid demand response schemes by avariety of end-user applications for PersonalizedInformative Billing, Human-Centric EnergyManagement, Load Scheduling and IntelligentControls and Predictive Maintenance

3. Introduce new business models for third parties,facilitating consumer involvement, representingthem in energy market transactions and tacklingknowledge barriers

Objective


Holistic Demand Response OptimizationFramework that enables significant energycosts reduction at the building/ consumerside, while introducing small and medium sizedbuildings (residential and non-residential ones)as major contributors to energy networks’stability through optimized energymanagement in response to networkconstraints and conditions.

Bring together a wide range of mature andproven technologies and integrates them in anopen and interoperable framework, comprisingin a fully-fledged suite of tools and applicationsfor all major stakeholders involved in theDemand Response value chain. Actors involved in the holistic demand response optimization framework

Conceptual solution

Conceptual solution



4. Safeguard grid reliability and thetransition to a more fossil-freeenergy future throughcomplementary explicit demandresponse strategies on the basis ofaggregated flexibility utilization

5. Tackle major market entry barriersfor consumers with theintroduction of suitable businessmodels for energy utilities,aggregators and facility managers.

Conceptual solution



6. Validate the resulting solutions inreal-life environments and ensureenhanced consumer engagementin Demand Response.

7. Promote the adoption of theHOLISDER solution as a next-generation demand responseoptimization framework throughintense dissemination andknowledge transfer of theproject’s outcomes towards thetargeted stakeholders

Conceptual solution


System architecture


The system architecturecontains three high levelfunctional constituentswhich are further brokendown at differentdeployment levels toaddress all aspectsintroduced in the solution:

• Integrated interoperabilityand secure datamanagement framework

• Demand responseoptimization and controldispatch decision supportsystem (DSS)

• Visualization platform andend-user toolkit

Implementation & Validation


Implementation Methodology

• Living Lab is an environment for experience sharing and exchange towards user-drivenopen innovation.

• Enables to gather feedback from building occupants, ESCOs, facility managers, aggregators,DSO, standardization stakeholders, regulator and policy makers through focus groups,door-to-door visits and quick online surveys.

• As a result of this co-creation process the project will deliver solutions that directly addressindividual needs and business requirements of potential users.

User-Driven Innovation Approach


• The HOLISDER framework will be validated in 4 large-scale pilot sites, located in Finland, UK, Greece and Serbia, which ensure complementarity in terms of climate, building types and uses, DR market maturity, culture and demography:

• Pre-validation activities will be carried out in the KUBIK building which will serve as the lab-testing environment.

More than 57.000 consumers (1.600 directly involved)




• UC-1: Personalized, flexibility-based guidance of individual consumers for optimizing their participation in Implicit Demand Response Schemes and significantly reducing their energy bills through Real-Time Pricing and its combination with Critical Peak Pricing and Peak Time Rebates schemes.

• UC-2: Promotion of net metering and self-consumption through holistic optimization of demand, supply and storage at the building and district level.

• UC-3: Context-aware demand flexibility profiling against volatile and variable real-time energy prices, considering user preferences for comfort, IEQ and daily schedules.

• UC-4: Personalized, human-centric and contract-safeguarding participation in explicit demand response programmes, on the basis of context-aware flexibility profiles and with the aim to increase consumer benefits through aggregated bidding of flexibility in balancing and ancillary services markets.

• UC-5: End-to-end interoperability (independently of brands, products and communication protocols) between actors, energy management systems and field-area devices.

• UC-6: Decision support to energy suppliers (and 3rd parties acting as energy service providers, e.g. aggregators, ESCOs and facility managers) for optimal segmentation, clustering (VPP) and utilization of demand side flexibility for energy trading and energy management optimization.

• UC-7: Decision support to aggregators (and 3rd parties acting as aggregators, e.g. energy suppliers, ESCOs and facility managers) for optimal segmentation, clustering (VPP) and utilization of demand side flexibility for a provision of a variety of services to the grid.

• UC-8: Predictive Maintenance of critical building equipment for improving energy performance, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and improving comfort and IEQ.

Conclusions


• The integration of DR enabling elements into EMS is a challenge. A specific challenge is that EMS and smart home devices are often not interoperable.

• HOLISDER solution introduces residential and tertiary energy consumers as active players in energy markets:

• ensure benefits through implicit human-centric DR programmes

• enables intelligence enhancement of currently available BEMS and smart home systems

• integrates information and communication technologies for demand response optimization and predictive maintenance functions

• Open standards-based modular solution ensures end-to-end interoperability and holds a high replication potential around EU MS.

• Safeguards grid reliability and the transition to a more fossil-free energy future through complementary explicit demand response strategies.

• Tackles major market entry barriers for consumers with the introduction of suitable business models for energy utilities, aggregators and facility managers.

• The adoption of the solution as a next-generation demand response optimization framework is promoted by validating the resulting solutions in real-life environments and ensure enhanced consumer engagement in demand response.
