The InterPED project, funded by the European Union's HORIZON 2023 programme, runs from January 2024 to December 2026 with ongoing status. It aims to facilitate Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) by integrating various sectors, utilising renewable energy sources (RES), storage, and excess/waste heat (E/WH) sources. The project focuses on enhancing grid robustness and engaging consumers through demand flexibility and participation.
Key features include a scalable cloud-based platform offering analytical, modelling, and optimisation services for integrated PEDs covering power, heating, cooling, and mobility. The project will demonstrate optimised PED operations at four pilot sites in Alba Iulia (Romania), Capriasca (Switzerland), Findhorn (United Kingdom), and San Sebastian (Spain).
The project intends to involve consumers and service providers in solution design through participatory co-design processes to ensure practicality and acceptance.
