HORIZON 2020 – EE-2016 – REP 696114

DR-BOB: Demand Response in Blocks of Buildings, 2016-2019

MAIN OBJECTIVES

  • To develop a conceptual, decentralized digital energy service Demand Response program for blocks of buildings with aggregate energy consumption
  • To demonstrate the DR-BoB integrated solution at four pilots sites with different energy market and climatic conditions
  • To save up to 11% in energy demand
  • To provide and validate a method, related to the technologies, buildings and local energy infrastructure, to participate in the Demand Response program at any given site
  • To engage at least 2000 companies across Europe in the chain for DR-BoB
  • Time

    36 months (1.03.2016 – 31.08.2019)
  • Project value

    5.136.769 euro
  • Coordinator

    TEESSIDE UNIVERSITY - United Kingdom
  • Local Coordinator

    Prof. dr. eng. Dan Doru MICU

Project benefits

  • Real-time optimization of local energy production, consumption and storage
  • Maximization of the economic profit
  • Reduction of the CO2 emissions
  • Reduction of the peak electricity demand
  • Lower energy bills

EnTReC main contribution

  • Demonstration pilot site – TUCN
  • Implementation of a Building Energy Management System for energy monitoring
  • Integration of the system in four different TUCN locations to enable the demonstration of the Demand Response
  • Deployment of the DR-BoB architecture at TUCN pilot
  • Collection and analysis of energy monitoring data
  • Calculation of the Key Performance Indicators to prove the DR
