Platform for Efficient Building Operation and Demand Response Flexibility Provision

This paper describes a SGAM (Smart Grid Architecture Model) compliant collaborative platform including its logical components in terms of functionalities and interfaces and their relationships. It aims at facilitating the service deployments, establishment and management of a Citizen Energy Community (CEC) by stakeholders along the energy value chain (consumers, energy managers, grid operators, service providers). Its foundation is based on standard-enabling technologies and practices and recommendations from EU projects (NEON and SINERGY). Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used for illustrating potential scenarios of using the services by NEON piloting partners. The energy dispatch optimization service developed by Institute Mihajlo Pupin (IMP) has been tested for a CEC from Spain.
