The Role of Local Aggregator in Delivering Energy Savings to Household Consumers

Energy communities, also known as renewable or citizen energy can be a source of innovative aggregation solutions at the local level. The unleashed flexibility potential households could provide self-balancing services for communities create new revenue streams aggregators. This paper proposes methodology assessment savings residential customers, factoring in climatological conditions, consumption patterns, and building performance when available input data are scarce. For baseline modelling, correlation between historical collected from survey, parameters, availability assets was determined, taking into account inconsistency quantity quality various consumers. this purpose, modelling approach using calculations “Agent” buildings used. In way, each user assigned to specific with dedicated characteristics asset. capacities engaged programme were modelled according assets, whilst duration demand response (DR) event considered function characteristics, consequently, activation strategies applied. Additionally, several scenarios interlink technical behavioural constraints household These restrict flexibility, thus influencing possibility daily repetitions DR increasing activation. model is intended optimise provided by end-users and, manner, deliver permanent savings, offering business opportunities aggregators communities. novelty research recognition an aggregator provider, even if obtained very conservative per individual Nevertheless, properly aggregated identified, novel aggregator.
