To cope with the above challenges, this project will leverage on a participatory co-creation process to bring individual consumers to the center stage and deliver to them a multi layered, community-centred, cross-domain-adaptable, multi-timescale DR supporting framework — which combines social-science-driven user experience designed for user behavior motivations and monetary/non-monetary incentive design.

Digital Twins models for improved consumer predictability, multi-layered P2P /blockchain/smart contracts based semi decentralized VPPs for capturing intra-community interaction dynamics, value stacking flexibility management algorithms and other AI data driven energy and non-energy services at the interplay among energy (power, heat and gas) mobility health (comfort) smart home (AAL, personal safety).

The proposed approach and the underlying enablers will be deployed and validated in 4 demo sites across 4 EU countries where around 1000 mostly residential consumers will be engaged along a variety of different community configurations.
