Benchmark of EU projects related to energy communities (EC)
Current Horizon 2020 (H2020) and Horizon Europe (HEUR) projects focusing directly on ECs where FEDECOM seeks collaborations
FEDECOM is supporting the development of open models’ development for decision makers.
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.
Insight on the 7 different types of Energy Communities: energy co-ops
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 will present energy communities concept and opportunities in a webinar dedicated to African countries
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”.
Model Predictive Control as a key enabler for automated demand response at buildings
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.
