D2.1 Co-creation steering group definitive list
The co-creation steering group (CCSG) definitive list will include the names of at least 12 stakeholders that will meet for one full day once per year to discuss the next steps of the customer-centric SENDER approach and to develop relevant use cases. The membership of the CCSG is divided to four distinct roles, whose members are recruited once the project has started: market role representatives; SENDER demonstration site owners; service and technology providers; and regulatory and interest group representatives.
D2.3 Co-creation conclusion report
This deliverable summarises the co-creation results and the applied SENDER co-creation methodology. The report was reviewed by the CCSG.
D3.2 Consumer engagement strategies guidelines
This deliverable collects and describes the different strategies selected in task 3.2 to engage consumers into demand response. It will contain all strategies initially considered and the reasons for the ones selected for each case.
D4.3 Regulation and policy analysis report
This deliverable analyses the policy measures and regulatory framework, identifies gaps and defines recommendations.
D5.2 Consumer patterns report
Identifying the best candidates for Demand Response requires analyzing their electricity consumption patterns, particularly the share of energy used for heating and cooling. To achieve this, SENDER developed an innovative Bayesian method capable of estimating thermal consumption from smart meter data at an hourly resolution, enabling precise Demand Response interventions. Additionally, survey data from Spain and Germany revealed key consumer preferences for automated energy services, highlighting financial savings and renewable energy use as major motivators while emphasizing the need for user control over automation.
D6.5 Front-end application
This deliverable will comprise 2 demonstrators: i) a responsive progressive web application (prosumer app) for residential users to engage them to participate in explicit DR campaigns through automated control of the available building controllable loads (e.g. DHW, HVAC), and ii) a dashboard overview for aggregators to visualise information and analytics coming from the aggregation platform (SENDER DR business logic for decision making) to be developed in T6.4.
D7.2 Pilot guide
This deliverable will provide a full list of KPI to evaluate the efficiency of the Demand Response strategies applied in the three pilots such as the efficiency of communication between the stakeholders, efficiency to flatten the maximum load, efficiency towards the sustainability of the DR program, efficiency to influence the client.
D2.2 Co-creation workshops report
This deliverable will summarise the key recommendations from each co-creation workshop that are organised at the SENDER demonstration sites. The primary purpose of this report is to inform the SENDER demonstration sites and the CCSG.
D3.1 Interoperable architecture report
This deliverable provides a definition of the architecture of the demonstrators, using the SGAM (Smart Grid Architecture Model), and a definition of the means to ensure interoperability, including interoperability testing and compliance to standards. Furthermore, it documents the harmonized SENDER system specifications for the development of VLab echo-system for integration and interoperability, verification and validation activities.
D4.2 Security, safety and privacy protection action plan and results
This deliverable defines the security and privacy-by-design practices and reports how they have been applied to SENDER pilots.
D5.1 Report on segmentation and preferences of each segments
The report on segmentation and preferences of each segment will present results of analysis showing which types of consumers prefer services and products with specific attributes.
D6.4 Open source software for P2P trading
This deliverable will provide a downloadable software to analyse and to simulate P2P trading among buildings. The software has the capability to show the user the potentials of P2P trading under different local market designs and energy system configurations provided by the use.
D7.1 Report on number of consumers involved in the project
This deliverable will analyse the efficiency of the different strategies (workshops, campaigns, events, etc) used to recruit users for the three pilot sites in Spain, Austria and Finland. It will evaluate the success of each pilot site considering the number of people engaged and the barriers tackled during its deployment. Moreover, it will include a qualitative chapter for lessons learned in order to provide insight knowledge to other replications of these strategies.
D8.1 Analysis of obstacles and policy coordination
This deliverable explores the challenges of integrating Demand Response (DR) into modern energy systems, essential for enhancing energy efficiency and supporting renewable energy transitions. It identifies barriers across technical, organizational, economic, regulatory, and behavioral dimensions, using a qualitative, literature-based approach to analyze these complexities. The research emphasizes the potential of technological innovations like ICT, smart grids, and data analytics to improve DR scalability and responsiveness, alongside the critical role of stakeholder collaboration among policymakers, regulators, utilities, and consumers. While the reliance on secondary data limits generalizability, the findings offer strategic recommendations to overcome identified barriers, aiming to foster DR adoption and contribute to sustainable, resilient energy systems.
