UCERS – User-centered solutions for digital and sustainable Energy Communities
The main goals of the cooperative R&D project are:
- Implemented and operational independent and free available online Community Data Exchange Platform (offering a vital baseline functionality: connect parties, get them into basic contractual agreements, consent management, data sharing and processing,…) for a scalable and easy-to-use implementation of Energy Communities (EC) in Austria to foster the future market diffusion of EC
- Functional and tested Operation & Optimization Platform for EC to enable efficient organization (e. g. further contractual agreements, billing, etc.) and common optimization in terms of energy management within the community
- Practical experiences from several demonstrations of EC (based on developed platforms) and applicable knowledge about acceptance and willingness of end users to participate in EC
- Implemented Citizen Science Platform / Network to establish a long-term cooperation with dedicated end-customers for future projects.
- Developed criteria and mechanisms to assess the sustainability of EC with focus on ecological, societal and economical effects to verify and optimize the sustainability of community projects
