| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | PERSIST aims to achieve a better understanding of how socio-economic, socio-cultural, and socio-political factors shape PEDs (Positive Energy Districts) and their interrelations with technological, regulatory, and investment aspects across different geographical, cultural, and economic contexts. The project investigates the relevant conditions for PEDs across Europe and identifies the most relevant participation archetypes to develop decarbonization scenarios for an optimized flexible and participative Energy System, in an Urban Living Lab (ULL) setting. PERSIT benefits from a strong network of urban living labs (or specific pilot projects of PEDs) that represent different social practices and regulatory contexts within Europe. We expect to observe different cognitive norms (e.g., social aspirations, expected conform levels, environmental concerns), different energy practices or regulations (e.g., available technology and resources, marketing practices and stakeholders, price structures). |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | Our consortium involves multiple Urban Living Labs (ULLs), which represent the complexity of real life and the interconnectedness of energy issues in everyday situations. Collaborating with LLs also means focusing in a holistic way on a community, a city or any other group in society with all their concerns, interests, activities etc. In Switzerland, but also in the other Living Labs, HSLU Smart Region Lab tools and expertise are used to visualize existing and emerging energy systems. Some examples of levers are: - creating a summary energy balance - visualization of map data (e.g. to compare one's own balance sheet) - procedures to create a community around the energy data, e.g. animated by a local energy operator (i.e. to share ideas that require input from several buildings) - vouchers. The data collection will be done with a tool that will be designed based on the established needs. The collected data will then be made reliable using statistical methods and established standards such as the Swiss standard SIA 2032. With the collected and validated data it will be possible to create spatio-temporal visualizations and statistical analyses. Contact person: Yousra.sidqi@hslu.ch In Spain, the city of Pamplona and the oPEN Living Lab Pamplona are implementing one of the first operational PED concepts in Spain, demonstrating an advanced, scalable, and replicable urban energy model. It will be developing and validating innovative solution packages for renovation and energy services, in response to the challenges posed by the Renovation Wave and contributing significantly towards decarbonization of the urban environment. PERSIST will help explore new policy energy change strategies, new business and investment models, and implementing, testing, and consolidating new technologies and/or strategies in the neighborhood through co-creation processes. PERSIST will help engage citizens and stakeholders involved in the district on a deeper and closer level, in order to tailor to their needs, as much as possible, the solutions and strategies to achieve PEN. Therefore, the expected impact will be at multiple levels: energy, environmental, digital, economic and social. Contact person: marina.arias@ehu.eus In Norway, in Verdal kommune, Suljordet Sameie AS consists of 27 residential units (apartments and individual houses) and 2 commercial units owned by two separate companies that rent out (commercial) grocery store and a fitness center respectively. Leverage of digital technologies to access real-time information from buildings can help to optimize the observability and market functioning. The obtained results will be helpful to characterize the demand response pathway, which is likely to evolve more rapidly under the scenarios of large-scale renewable resources integration, new construction of buildings and built-in enabling technologies at end user loads. The modulation of building power as short-term/long-term demand flexibility can be regulated for frequency and voltage support to the grid. The study will be able to identify the amount of virtual storage present in the various apartments that can be offered. Contact person: nand.kishor@hiof.no In Romania, the Living Lab in Alba Iulia will be built around the social housing managed by the Municipality where vulnerable people are living and seen as a local priority in an actual complicated context, which fuels the energy poverty phenomenon and manifests as an abrupt rise of energy prices, post-pandemic economic recovery and war proximity inflation. Through interventions conducted within PERSIST, will provide information and demonstrate possible solutions and their results to the actual demand of energy at a low cost and reduced emissions, in order to scale up pilot results to the residential, tertiary and municipal buildings, or other identified local major energy consumers (like public lighting and mobility). In this respect, identified solutions will be described in a dedicated catalogue (including technical, legal and financial aspects) and presented in demo sites. Contact person: stefan.cirstea@enm.utcluj.ro A partnership with Coopernico, Portugal’s first renewable energy cooperative, will be established. Currently, Coopernico not only takes part in two energy communities and four collective self consumption schemes implemented in Portugal but is also actively engaged in awareness-raising campaigns, capacity-building initiatives and training programmed on these topics addressed in particular to local authorities and civil society. In addition, the past experience and current projects of the cooperative, combined with its close relations with local authorities and local communities, will contribute to provide further insight into the institutional and socioeconomic preconditions to implement a strategy for renewables and PEDs. fernando.borges@ij.uc.pt |
