The EU has made significant progress in recognizing and empowering energy communities, acknowledging their vital role in the clean energy transition.

FEDECOM project is pleased to invite you to attend the next webinar that we are co-organizing as part of the upcoming EM-Power Europe (https://www.em-power.eu/home), 2024 event. This webinar will take place on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024 - 11:00am–12:15pm CEST (Webinar Language will be in English). We will talk about “European Energy Communities: Sector Coupling, Flexibility, and Operational Perspectives”.

Based on the system of systems approach, this paper introduces a 4-step funnel approach and a 4-step reverse funnel approach to systematically specify and detail demonstration scenarios for energy community projects.

By developing features for Fedecom, colleagues from UCL (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium), have published, 19th December 2023, a methodology paper about how to optimises the investments over a 30 years transition period while accounting for hourly resolution. The 48 pages scientific publication is available on the ResearchGate Web portal.

Ana Trbovich co-founder of Grid Singularity, partner of the FEDECOM project authored an article for Smart Energy International on a topic of strong relevance to our project.

Energy system models serve as advisory tools for decision-makers to assess the impact of their choices. Utilizing open-source models enhances the transparency and replicability of results, enabling external individuals to build upon previous studies.

The German energy agency has just published a large study that Grid Singularity has conducted with Fraunhofer Institute on “Vision of a Decentralised Energy Market for Germany in 2030”. Key results including FEDECOM project perspective have been presented in an article available on Medium website.

The use of digital technologies enables energy communities (ECs) to participate in peer-to-x markets, including peer-to-grid markets that connect smaller players as well as ECs with the larger players (TSOs and DSOs) to trade flexibilities between them, for example...

FEDECOM project has been invited to participate in a webinar to present key elements on energy communities and the project approach to support federation of energy communities. This event in French is co-organized by the Réseau Climat & Développement (RC&D), ENERGIES 2050 (member of the FEDECOM consortium) and ENDA Energie and will take place on Monday October 16, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. GMT. The Theme is “Achieving a Just Energy Transition: Myths & realities and challenges for Africa”.

FEDECOM will develop a Model Predictive Control (MPC) that can automatically generate demand response actions at building. MPC is a cutting-edge technique that can be applied for the energy management of buildings. MPC uses a predictive model of the building and takes into account weather forecasts, internal heat gains (such as those caused by occupancy and lighting) and real measurements of the building to decide how the building should be operated.

FEDECOM will participate in the 1st Technical Workshop organised by the SENERGY NETS project which is another Horizon Europe project working on related topics

FEDECOM chaired a workshop on energy communities and presented its E-Mobility solutions at the Sustainable Places 2023 Conference last June in Madrid

The new revision of the BRIDGE brochure edition has been published end of July 2023 by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy. “BRIDGE is a European Commission initiative which unites Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Smart Grid, Energy Storage, Islands, and Digitalisation Projects to create a structured view of cross-cutting issues which are encountered in the demonstration projects and may constitute an obstacle to innovation.”

Dr Ana Trbovich, Grid Singularity co-founder, was recently interviewed for the Science-Business portal on the role of regulatory sandboxes in energy, noting the the FEDECOM project and stating...
