NRG2peers

TOWARDS A NEW GENERATION OF EU PEER-TO-PEER ENERGY COMMUNITIES FACILITATED BY GAMIFIED PLATFORM AND EMPOWERED BY USER-CENTRED ENERGY TRADING MECHANISM AND BUSINESS MODELS.

The main aim of NRG2peers is to support the uptake of a next generation of European peer-to-peer Energy Communities. NRG2peers sets up a gamified platform in three levels, supporting residential energy communities to increase energy efficiency and to integrate a higher share of renewable energy. The NRG2peers platform aims to support the uptake and multiplication of attractive, financially, legally and technically viable, user-centred residential energy communities in three
concrete ways:
Level 1: Collecting experiences from operative peer-to-peer energy communities, whose assessment schemes are already compliant with national and EU legislations, in a way to deliver Readiness Level Framework Indicators (Organisational, Institutional, Market, Technological, Social) which helps to assess a communities’ readiness to become a peer-to-peer, peerto- community and peer-to-market (P2P, P2C, P2M) energy community, to incite investments from the public and private sector at the local level, and to support decision making and policy at the MS and EU level to ensure a prosumer-friendly environment;
Level 2: Providing smart demand-response mechanisms to optimize energy consumption and peak demand at the community level. The NRG2peers platform will adopt peer-to-peer privacy-aware learning mechanisms to ensure energy optimisation whereby three main aims are 1) Financial savings for the residential customers at community level 2) CO2 and environmental savings at the community level, and 3) Local self-reliance in terms of energy;
Level 3: Adopting community-based nudging mechanisms for peer-to-peer transaction of renewable energy and motivating
the maximal implementation and consumption of (local) RES production and consumption.
By combining 3 levels with gamified features supporting peer-to-peer behavioural-based incentives, the NRG2peers platform targets for global energy and CO2 emission savings at the community level, and investment triggered in sustainable energy in EU. 
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 890345(NRG2peers).

HERACLES

HERITAGE RESILIENCE AGAINST CLIMATE EVENTS ON SITE

HERACLES main objective is to design, validate and promote responsive systems/solutions for effective resilience of CH against climate change effects, considering as a mandatory premise an holistic, multidisciplinary approach through the involvement of different expertise (end-users, industry/SMEs, scientists, conservators/restorators and social experts, decision, and policy makers).
This will be operationally pursued with the development of a system exploiting an ICT platform able to collect and integrate multisource information in order to effectively provide complete and updated situational awareness and support decision for innovative measurements improving CH resilience, including new solutions for maintenance and conservation.
The HERACLES effectiveness will be ensured by the design and validation of manageable methodologies also for the definition of operational procedures and guidelines for risk mitigation and management. It will be validated in two challenging test beds, key study cases for the climate change impact on European CH assets.
​The strength of HERACLES solutions is their flexibility in evaluating a big quantity of different information that can be changed and tailored to the specific CH assets needs, guaranteeing in that way a general applicability. In this context, a fundamental role will be played by end-users, which will be active part in the project activities.
HERACLES system will be designed and developed by accounting for the economic sustainability and future acceptance by the market and for the social and economic impact for public and local communities while respecting the integrity of CH and the value it hold for communities. 
Effective technological transfer of HERACLES outcomes to large companies, SMEs and end users, suitable dissemination, communication, education and training activities are also organized to disseminate vision and progresses obtained to different communities, in a vision of wide audiences awareness.​

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 700395 
(HERACLES).
