Location: Valverde is a small rural village in the countryside of Évora. It has around 450 inhabitants and 200 residential buildings connected to the LV grid.
There is only one MV client in Valverde, Évora University, owner of a secondary substation. Besides its small dimension, Valverde is an innovation hub for energy-oriented projects, being the home of H2020 DOMINOES, InteGrid, SENSIBLE, and, POCITYF, which has equipped and will equip
Valverde’s clients with advanced devices and software tools that concerns local energy production and consumption monitoring and control.
Specific Challenges: The PT pilot will address several challenges, starting with the integration of P2P trading concept to manage the energy transactions between members of a REC. Hereto, the algorithms governing energy sharing will be subjected to empirical testing. This evaluation aims to facilitate a comprehensive comparative analysis and assessment of P2P energy sharing mechanisms in contrast to alternative energy sharing algorithms that do not encompass the P2P mechanism using a controlled regulatory environment
