Project description

This project aims to increase renewable energy use, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and make the energy system robust through residential flexibility. It tackles challenges such as user behavior, technical complexity and participation through inter-domain cooperation between academic and industrial partners. Through its large-scale pilot sites, it will achieve a critical mass of user participation even during the course of the project.
