3Smart OUTPUT FACTSHEET Output Factsheet Output title: Strategy of EMS take-up on city scale Summary of the output (max. 2500 characters) Potential for the application of 3Smart tool on the level of infrastructure in cities, towns and villages is analyzed. Special emphasis is put on using similar mathematical optimization based methodologies within infrastructures to make these potential infrastructure-level energy management modules compatible for interaction with the modules in the 3Smart tool. In order to encompass in the analysis settlements of different size, the analysis relies on the case studies performed in a city, a town and a village in the Danube region: city of Zagreb, town of Idrija and village of Strem. For the case of Zagreb, interaction of electricity grid with buildings and with the following 3Smart-like-managed infrastructure systems is analyzed: water distribution, electric vehicles charging and electrified city rail. Also the effects of 3Smart-managed buildings on the load in heat distribution grid are assessed. For the case of Idrija, mine water pumping system is analyzed for maintaining the water level in Idrija mines, in interaction with electricity grid. For the case of Strem, the central biogas and wood pellets combined heating/electricity plant and heat distribution grid operation under demand management is analyzed. Based on the performed analyses, a strategy for up-scaling the use of building-side EMS tool is assessed. It elaborates how the modules of energy management on the side of infrastructure should look like, the envisioned IT environment and commissioning. The strategy also points out the significance of inclusion of an infrastructure management system in demand response scheme since it can be a turning point for providing enough flexibility on a geographically localized area where it is needed for the distribution system operator. And then, once enough flexibility is available, other small flexibility providers can join. The strategy also stresses the possibility of installation of an autonomous trading system between different flexibility providers which further increases economical gains for those capable of flexibility provision and reduces a risk for running into penalties when temporarily the system or infrastructure is not in a position to provide flexibility. Thus, it seems that infrastructure and buildings can form a symbiosis and support each other in the energy transition process. Contribution to the project and Programme objectives (max. 1500 characters) The main objective of 3Smart is to provide a technological and legislative setup for cross- Project acronym 1 3Smart OUTPUT FACTSHEET spanning energy management of buildings, energy grids and major city infrastructures in the DR. The output clearly addresses the extension of the tool which is within the project focussed on buildings and grids towards city infrastructures and various benefits that stem out of that. As the DTP major objective is to harmonize policies across different countries in the Danube region in crucial priority fields, one of them being also energy, the strategy contributes to it by showing what role the city infrastructures can have in energy transition. Especially it is important to note that infrastructure is usually operated by public companies where local and state influence in introducing energy management and demand response measures can be more direct and represent an additional motivator for other private entities to enter the demand response scheme. Transnational impact (max. 1500 characters) The strategy was derived based on case studies performed for settlements of different size in different countries of the Danube region. Moreover, its results are indeed not in any way constrained to certain national environment such that it is transnationally valid. Contribution to EUSDR actions and/or targets (max. 1500 characters) The output contributes to Priority Area 2 "To encourage more sustainable energy" of the EUSDR an increased energy production originating from local renewable energy sources to increase the energy within which the following actions are required: „To explore the possibility to have national authorities in order to autonomy”, „To promote energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in buildings and heating systems“, „To facilitate networking and cooperation between The up-scale of energy management platform which significantly enlarges demand response promote awareness and increase the use of renewable energies“. capacities in a geographical area or even represents an outweigh point for accepting demand response is thus very important for local renewable energy integration. Performed testing, if applicable (max. 1000 characters) The strategy is based on performed case studies. Especially relevant when considering the actual application of the 3Smart tool is the Zagreb case study which can be also considered as a sequence of preliminary tests namely within Zagreb case study it was assessed how the up- scaled 3Smart tools would operate on a water distribution, an electrified rail system or on an electric vehicles charging system.– Integration and use of the output by the target group (max. 2000 characters) Project acronym 2 3Smart OUTPUT FACTSHEET Main target groups for usage of the output are local authorities, infrastructure companies and national regulators. Local authorities can learn how to better use the infrastructure they have within local authority assets to reduce its operation costs and also help the proliferation of demand response services locally which then also induces secondary benefits of renewable energy capacities increase. Similar position is for infrastructure operators it shows how the infrastructure operation costs can be lowered via demand response and optimization. – National regulators can put more emphasis on smart energy management of infrastructure since through this strategy the infrastructure should be recognized as a turning point for demand response functionality initiating in different geographical areas. Geographical coverage and transferability (max. 1500 characters) The strategy is transnationally relevant and transferrable to different local contexts and different infrastructure setups compared to the ones considered in performed case studies. Durability (max. 1500 characters) The strategy validity is not constrained with time and should become more and more relevant as the demand response legal framework becomes clear. Synergies with other projects/ initiatives and / or alignment with current EU policies/ directives/ regulations, if applicable (max. 1500 characters) The strategy has a synergy effect with Clean Energy for all Europeans package it shows how city infrastructure can be smartly managed and participate in demand response. – Output integration in the current political/ economic/ social/ technological/ environmental/ legal/ regulatory framework (max. 2000 characters) The strategy integrates well into the technology framework for demand response provision, as it is based on open tool for integrated energy management of buildings and grids. The strategy can be also considered in an environmental context, showing that demand response can be substantial with very little negative environmental effect, e.g. in water distribution system management one may see a significant flexibility power provision with very small increase in water losses in the distribution system.
