Accessibility & LanguageINTELLIGENT
INTELLIGENT aims to advance peer-to-peer energy trading technology, making it more accessible, secure and efficient.
Description
INTELLIGENT (INteroperable Tools for nEtwork-aware, Ledger-based Local energy sharIng and flexibility manaGEment leveraging user engagemeNT) is an EU-funded project developing critical, cutting-edge technology to equip citizens organised in energy communities and their grid operators to deploy peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading at scale.
The project builds on Grid Singularity’s existing open-source P2P platform (GSY DEX), expanding its capabilities to avail advanced trading mechanisms such as multi-attribute auctions and effectively connect spot and flexibility markets. This ensures a wider and fairer market access for small market actors while facilitating more secure, decentralised market operations to support grid flexibility and resilience, leveraging the Energy Web data exchange infrastructure.
At the user level, INTELLIGENT introduces AI/ML-based flexibility optimisation services to improve energy efficiency and participation in local markets. Billing and payment services will also be developed, all made available as open source solutions for further development and commercialisation.
The developed solutions will be piloted in four diverse European sites, informed by social and regulatory analysis, incorporating stakeholder feedback.
Project Objectives
- Create a standardised and open-source peer-to-peer energy sharing platform;
- Enhance user acceptance and consumer engagement in flexibility and peer-to-peer energy trading by using a full user-centric approach;
- Validate INTELLIGENT platform in the trading ecosystem of energy communities;
- Generate new sources of value for all the actors across the energy value chain by developing sustainable business models for the innovative services and opportunities unlocked by INTELLIGENT;
- To strategically position INTELLIGENT in the decentralised energy landscape: from initial ideation and open-source commitment, through collaborative partnerships, to effective outreach.
