The project address several of the challenges that limit the effectiveness and proliferation of energy communities. OptiREC develops methods, tools, and solutions for optimal design, operation, and integration into energy systems and energy markets for local energy communities. To ensure effective implementation, energy communities need to be assessed and integrated from several different perspectives. These aspects include the design and internal operation of the energy communities’ participants and assets, aggregation of energy communities and integration into distribution networks, as well as design and participation of local flexibility markets and participation in wholesale markets.
