D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | InterPED will develop the technical and business ecosystem to demonstrate the potential of positive energy districts (PEDs), by integrating the local RES and excess/waste heat (E/WH) sources with the local energy systems, to bring economic benefits, improve grid stability and robustness, contribute to the energy system decarbonisation, and reduce carbon footprint. This will be achieved by meeting the following general objectives , setting the conditions for wide-scale replicability across districts around Europe: ● Integrate existing and emerging ICT tools to deploy InterPED cloud-based solution enabling integrated, reliable and decarbonized PEDs based on sector coupling, high demand flexibility services, citizen participation, while increasing RES hosting capacity to above 50% share in overall energy supply. ● Validate the InterPED solution in 4 large-scale pilots in different technical, market and climate contexts, while demonstrating improved grid robustness owing to the cross-vector integration and optimal asset management (RES, storage, E/WH sources, EVs), while unlocking at least 30% of demand flexibility. ● Develop partner-backed viable plans for the post-project replication of the InterPED solution to 4 “follower” districts, which measure positive impact on wider energy infrastructure, environment, local economy and social aspects owing to sector coupling, increased share of RES and improved grid operation. |
D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | |
D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | InterPED aims to create a platform suitable for efficient scaling up and replication to other districts, with four "follower" districts already joining the project for post-project replication. Once the project is completed, local energy communities and service providers will be fully trained to take full ownership of the solution and its business ecosystem. |

D1P013: Standardization efforts | |
D1P013: Standardization efforts | InterPED will support standardization efforts related to data handling and data management issues (CEN-CLC-ETSI M/490), and align with EC’s Smart Grid Task Force (SGTF) and IEC TC57/WG21 on the smart grid interoperability, e.g. in the context of OpenADR 2.0 and USEF. As part of these efforts, InterPED is also involved in the BRIDGE initiative and has applied for the HSBooster programme. |
