About the practice:
The project developed and verified a new market design for local marketplaces for electricity trading through a cloud-based ICT solution while designing innovative, prosumer-oriented business models relevant for the market design and implementing full bi-directional and secure communication between the market and business layers. The practice also encouraged micro-generation and the active participation of prosumers to exploit the flexibility created in demonstration sites in order to prove the viability of the concept and create synergetic benefits for all inhabitants connected to the local grid.
