The objective of the SERENE project<\/a> is to decarbonise local energy systems through optimal integration of multi-energy carriers and applying smart control to ensure as much self-supply as possible and, at the same time, contribute to the balancing of the overall energy system and ensure the local hosting capacity of the grids. \u200b<\/p>\n Doing this will pave the way for increasing the use of renewable energy to enhance the environmental, social, and economic conditions of the citizens in the local area.<\/p>\n SERENE will pioneer sustainable local energy systems by activating locally available distributed generation, demand response resources, energy flexibility, and energy storage technologies in various energy domains, such as electricity, heat, water treatment, and transport, and focusing on attractive citizen-centred business models and local economies.<\/p>\n The project will also innovate smart technological, socio-economic, institutional, and environmental solutions to manage integrated local energy systems and networks. These will employ larger quantities of renewable energy and actively utilise consumer engagement across three EU countries.<\/p>\n Additionally, SERENE\u2019s innovations will be replicable, meaning they can be used in other energy communities<\/a> across Europe and globally.<\/p>\n The overarching goal of the project is to develop three locally integrated \u2018energy islands\u2019 at three demonstration sites in Skanderborg (Denmark), Olst (Netherlands), and Przywidz (Poland).<\/p>\n The findings from these energy islands will be scrutinised for their replicability, and technical benchmark models and solutions will be developed alongside business models, which will be evaluated concerning the specific challenges identified by the countries involved.<\/p>\n The project consortium consists of 13 partners from 3 EU countries, led by Aalborg University, Denmark. These are and have the following competences:<\/p>\nHow the SERENE project will decarbonise local energy systems<\/h3>\n
