The PEDvolution project paves the way for cross-sectoral integration of ever-evolving PEDs. European pioneers in PED conceptualisation, implementation and tool development will materialise this through the co-development and implementation of seven interoperable solutions accommodating the constant evolution of PEDs: 1) PED Design and Planning Toolset, 2) PED Readiness Assessment, 3) Dynamic Decision Support Guideline for PED Development, 4) PED Energy Manager, 5) Data Exchange, Integration and Interoperability Platform, 6) PED Business Models, 7) Social Innovation tool. The PEDvolution solutions will design, process, optimise and strengthen the PEDs genotype- and/or phenotype. Whereas the genotype of a PED is its set of genetic material, built through a unique combination of Social-Technology-Interoperability-Market related aspects. The PED’s phenotype is the set of observable characteristics of the PED resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment (e.g. energy market, industry, mobility, (geo)politics). Building on the latter methodological approach, an array of products, services and methodologies can be tailored for addressing and handling PED interaction and integration with inbound and outbound energy resources/systems across energy and non-energy sectors. At least six real-life PEDs across Europe, supported by PED co-developers and demonstrators, will provide a test, demonstration and validation environment for the solutions, paving the way for replication, upscaling and mainstreaming. |

Results
The expected results of the PEDvolution project will be that it enables and boosts EU-PED participation in the energy system by means of providing demonstrated fully interoperable data-driven platform and solutions, to support their readiness assessment, planning activities, decision making, energy management, social engagement, and business models development. PEDvolution solutions will enable PEDs to evolve and adapt in a changing and challenging environment, protecting their citizens, delivering products and services of the highest quality, and thus supporting Europe to gain power in the global energy competition while preserving its values and socio-economic way of life.
