Description du projet
Une boîte à outils numérique pour les communautés énergétiques
Le couplage au réseau de distribution de sources d’énergie renouvelables variables pose des difficultés majeures sur le plan de la stabilité du système, en raison des déséquilibres entre la demande et l’offre. Les communautés énergétiques pourraient représenter un facteur prometteur pour promouvoir l’implication des citoyens dans la transition énergétique. Toutefois, il est nécessaire que les outils TIC extraient et optimisent la flexibilité des ressources énergétiques résidentielles afin de créer des opérations viables sur le plan financier, et basées sur les besoins des citoyens. Le projet ACCEPT, financé par l’UE, entend développer et fournir une boîte à outils numérique de ce type, qui permettra aux communautés énergétiques de proposer des services numériques innovants et d’obtenir des sources de revenus à même de soutenir financièrement leurs fonctions et de sécuriser leur viabilité et leur efficacité. Le cadre du projet ACCEPT fera l’objet de démonstrations et de validations sur quatre sites pilotes situés en Espagne, en Grèce, aux Pays-Bas et en Suisse, impliquant plus de 3 000 personnes et 750 résidences.
Objectif
Penetration of renewables is a no-regrets option for energy system decarbonization. Despite their benefits for the energy system, the grid integration of variable RES presents major challenges in matching their non-deterministic output to electricity demand. Resolving this necessitates the deployment and penetration of several solutions, a key on being demand response, which in turn depends on the role of prosumers with regards to their engagement with the energy system. Demand flexibility from residential buildings is the main untapped source of flexibility currently in the market and promises significant flexibility potential, especially taking into account the electrification of heat and transport mega-trends. Energy communities are a promising organizational vehicle for involving citizens – who directly control residential demand - in the energy transition, but currently lack the necessary tools to exploit the available opportunities and create financially viable operations based on the provision of services that citizens want. ACCEPT aims to fill this gap by delivering a digital toolbox that energy communities can use to: i) offer innovative and desired digital services, complementing their existing non-digital services to their members and customers, and ii) gain access to revenue streams that can financially support their operations and ensure longevity and well-functioning of the community itself. To achieve this, the ACCEPT consortium is framing the citizen engagement and business modelling activities in the same priority as the technical development ones. Their intertwined implementation will be the critical success factor for the delivery of the ACCEPT solution as a Minimum Viable Product that has already passed preliminary market testing and financial viability checks. The ACCEPT outcomes will be demonstrated and validated in four pilot sites in the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Greece, directly involving more than 750 residences and 3000 citizens.
