Publishable summary: 

This proposal aims to build an intelligent ICTplatform for smarter, inclusive and sustainable city needs, as energy components of ecosystem, to improve city services and quality of life by the means of high share of renewable energy sources (RES) and distribution energy resources (DER) integration and citizen involvement. The proposed solutions will take part in active power management of energy consumption, including prosumer active role in operation strategy and will contribute to social challenges tackling through a multidisciplinary approach, including multiple fields of application at city level.

Objectives:

  • Intelligent ICT platform development to support EU and LAC cities in their transformation into Smart Cities with key focus on intelligent use of energy and digital services implementation
  • ICT solution enabling smart services like tailored to the customer demand response, highly efficient solutions for prosumer integration and high quality of service
  • Data techniques applied to information delivered by ubiquitous smart metering technologies for multivector energy use in large cities
  • Reinforced collaboration between EU and LAC researchers, international industrial collaborators and in order to implement digital services for smarter neighbourhoods

Project benefits are based on expanding information sharing on capabilities to include sharing nonproprietary research results, best practices and methods, and joint efforts to improve and expand the capabilities in order to meet the overall project objectives. Also the following actions will facilitate innovation potential. Direct collaboration with EU and LAC international organisation will stimulate research cooperation with the goal of developing deeper understanding of global priorities through cooperation and co authorship of scientific papers and future project proposals and will contribute to the decrease of the lack of coordination among initiative at the government, research and societal levels in case of ICT solutions implementation in countries and regions by citizens. The results and related benefits will be fully exploited together with the major stakeholders by means of an effective range of actions generating high visibility of local activities .Project results will provide system users with solutions related to smart services and will ensure transparency for efficient use of the available resources related to the multienergy vectors.
