We envision ... to trigger the establishment of microgrids in the Alpine Space involving citizens organised in energy communities.
ALPGRIDS main objective is to increase the uptake of Renewable Energy Sources in the Alps through microgrid solutions
The project focuses on creating a transnational enabling
environment to foster microgrid solutions supporting in particular the
creation of local energy communities.
In particular, ALPGRIDS focuses on:
Developing a common understanding of microgrids and their benefits
Creating an enabling policy environment for microgrids
Replicating the microgrid model in the Alpine Space and beyond
To achieve these goals, the project builds
on 6 existing pilot sites in 5 countries and takes them to the next
steps in order to develop 3 key outputs listed below. Transnational
exchanges will be implemented involving local energy stakeholders and
policy makers.
Project duration: 10/2019 - 8/2022
Scope: EU
Microfocus: Controlling flexibilities Evaluation of technical solutions to offer and trigger flexibilities
Macrofocus: Technical realization Evaluation of technologies to orchestrate a (high) number of flexibilities by using e.g. software services
Degree of Prosumer & consumer involvement: Medium Evaluation of their needs and expectations as flexibility providers as main part of the project
