eNeuron Project -- Facilitating the Energy Transition in a Military
Campus by optimizing a Local Energy Community
Abstract
The eNeuron project is an ongoing Horizon 2020 EU-funded project with
the main objective of setting out a practical framework for optimising
the design and operation of local energy communities (LECs), acting as
multi-carrier energy hubs (EH) and micro-energy hubs (mEH). LECs are key
in the transition towards green, decarbonised power from local and
renewable sources. The consortium is developing and applying pioneering
software and hardware solutions, putting them to the test in real energy
communities and introducing new governance models.
There are four demonstration Pilots in the eNeuron Project: The Polish
City of Bydgoszcz, the Skagerak Energilab in Norway, the Lisbon Naval
Base (LNB) in Portugal, and the UNIVPM University Campus in Italy.
This paper focuses on presenting the Portuguese demo pilot: the Lisbon
Naval Base, namely the development of the demonstration activities so
far, roughly half of the duration of the project, as well as a balance
of all supporting activities, such as Use Case definition, technical
activities (asset definition and installation) and social activities
(stakeholder engagement). This paper presents a description and
conclusion of these activities so far, at the time that the eNeuron
preliminary toolbox concept is ready to be shared and implemented in the
Pilots.
