The HOLISDER project introduces a Holistic Demand Response Optimization Framework that will enable significant energy costs reduction (~45%) at the building/ consumer side, while introducing small and medium sized buildings (residential and non-residential ones) as a major contributor to energy networks’ stability through optimized energy management in response to network constraints and conditions.
For the successful deployment of demand response in EU markets and focusing on the key enablers for the realization of this high-level target, HOLISDER brings together a wide range of mature and proven technologies and integrates them in an open and interoperable framework, comprising in a fully-fledged suite of tools and applications for all major stakeholders involved in the Demand Response value chain, ensuring:
- Consumer Empowerment and Transformation into Active Energy Market Players allowing them for co-creation of the solutions that directly address their individual needs and business requirements.
- End-to-end interoperability between energy networks, building energy management systems and devices that will enable open standards-based communication along the DR value chain.
- New Business Models for intermediaries and third parties that will facilitate consumers’ involvement into energy markets by acting on their behalf and making the most out of consumers’ flexibility value in terms of energy bills minimization and revenues maximization.
