Sustainable Consumer engagement and demand response

CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Consumer patterns report (opens in new window)

The consumer patterns report will present results of analysis showing (a) whether specific combinations of products and services affect adoption, (b) whether there are any behavioural spill-overs across different product and service adoption decisions, and (c) whether specific types of consumers are more susceptible to spill-overs and more likely to take product and service bundling into account in their decisions.

Demonstration public report (opens in new window)

This deliverable will consist in the aggregated report based on D7.4, without personal information, for communication purposes.

Interoperable architecture report (opens in new window)

This deliverable will provide a definition of the architecture of the demonstrators, using the SGAM (Smart Grid Architecture Model), and a definition of the means to ensure interoperability, including interoperability testing and compliance to standards. Furthermore, it will document the harmonized SENDER system specifications for the development of VLab echo-system for integration and interoperability, verification and validation activities.

Security, safety and privacy protection action plan and results (opens in new window)

This deliverable will define the security and privacy-by-design practices and reports how they have been applied to SENDER pilots.

Pilot guide (opens in new window)

This deliverable will provide a full list of KPI to evaluate the efficiency of the Demand Response strategies applied in the three pilots such as the efficiency of communication between the stakeholders, efficiency to flatten the maximum load, efficiency towards the sustainability of the DR program, efficiency to influence the client.

Co-creation steering group definitive list (opens in new window)

The co-creation steering group (CCSG) definitive list will include the names of at least 12 stakeholders that will meet for one full day once per year to discuss the next steps of the customer-centric SENDER approach and to develop relevant use cases. The membership of the CCSG is divided to four distinct roles, whose members are recruited once the project has started: market role representatives; SENDER demonstration site owners; service and technology providers; and regulatory and interest group representatives.

Co-creation conclusion report (opens in new window)

This deliverable will summarise the co-creation results and the applied SENDER co-creation methodology. The report will be reviewed by the CCSG.

Report on number of consumers involved in the project (opens in new window)

This deliverable will analyse the efficiency of the different strategies (workshops, campaigns, events, etc) used to recruit users for the three pilot sites in Spain, Austria and Finland. It will evaluate the success of each pilot site considering the number of people engaged and the barriers tackled during its deployment. Moreover, it will include a qualitative chapter for lessons learned in order to provide insight knowledge to other replications of these strategies.

Report on obstacles and regulations (opens in new window)

This deliverable will comprise a report summarizing the analysis of obstacles and policy coordination efforts in WP8. To this end, a dedicated report sub chapter entails the assessment of the household consumers attitude towards the implementation of the mentioned new technologies as well as the resulting policy and regulatory ramifications derived from the interaction with WP4. Furthermore, specific care will be taken to ensure compatibility of derived business models with the legislative framework, household customer data privacy, protection and cyber security requirements.

Regulation and policy analysis report (opens in new window)

This deliverable will analyse the policy measures and regulatory framework, identifies gaps and defines recommendations.

Replication booklet (opens in new window)

This deliverable will be a replication study at large scale using the Digital Twin focusing on both technical challenges and the non-technical issues. The technical replication will consider consumer behaviour variability and in the perspective of a wide replication in specific areas. The non-technical approach will focus on the evolution of the business model depending on price variations, social parameters (relation to energy in different countries, etc.). The legal framework will also be analysed in the replication perspective.

Co-creation workshops report (opens in new window)

This deliverable will summarise the key recommendations from each co-creation workshop that are organised at the SENDER demonstration sites. The primary purpose of this report is to inform the SENDER demonstration sites and the CCSG.

Consumer engagement strategies guidelines (opens in new window)

This deliverable will collect and describe the different strategies selected in task 3.2 to engage consumers into demand response. It will contain all strategies initially considered and the reasons for the ones selected for each case.

Report on segmentation and preferences of each segments (opens in new window)

The report on segmentation and preferences of each segment will present results of analysis showing which types of consumers prefer services and products with specific attributes.

Results and recommendation report (opens in new window)

This deliverable consists in the public final report for WP7 including all aggregated monitoring data and conclusions about the efficiency of the DR strategies using the KPI’s defined in D7.2. It will also include a set of recommendations for further projects built upon SENDER.

Social media account created (opens in new window)

All accounts for the targeted social media will be created by EQY in this deliverable. They will ensure proper communication with the public and relevant stakeholders.

Open source software for P2P trading (opens in new window)

This deliverable will provide a downloadable software to analyse and to simulate P2P trading among buildings. The software has the capability to show the user the potentials of P2P trading under different local market designs and energy system configurations provided by the use.

Front-end application (opens in new window)

This deliverable will comprise 2 demonstrators: i) a responsive progressive web application (prosumer app) for residential users to engage them to participate in explicit DR campaigns through automated control of the available building controllable loads (e.g. DHW, HVAC), and ii) a dashboard overview for aggregators to visualise information and analytics coming from the aggregation platform (SENDER DR business logic for decision making) to be developed in T6.4.

Website online (opens in new window)

The website will be a key communication vector to ensure the dissemination of the project’s aim, events and on-going activities. EQY (in conjunction will all the partners) will develop the website and the visual identity of SENDER for an efficient communication: a logo, templates, specific colours, fonts, contents, etc. The website will be accessible by the public and will include a private collaborative space for the partners.
