ASCEND research project clean energy districts

As part of the ASCEND project DKSR contributes to research in the field of clean energy districts. The five year project aims to establish two Positive Clean Energy Districts in the lighthouse cities of Munich and Lyon as well as to bootstrap implementation in multiplier cities.

Within the project, DKSR Open Urban Data Platform is utilized as technological infrastructure to monitor the projects Key-Performance-Indicators in a standardized way. Additionally we are developing a technical reference model for building a local energy community.

DKSR will define the digital pillars of PCEDS, and provide a model for cities who want to implement their own districts based on open standards, interoperability and data sovereignty. We will also implement a reference model for an energy community, and work on machine learning modules for energy efficiency.

Opportunities

  • Solutions packages around the technical and financial design of PCEDS.
  • Implementation in wide variety of districts: at different scales and with different charactheristics.
  • Open providing of Solutions Code and sharing in the Urban Data Community via Square.
  • Web-based multicriteria decision support tool to be developed for cities who want to assess the best way to finance their PCED projects.

ADAPTION FOR YOUR CITY

  • This is a EU project that receives funding from the "Horizon Europe" program. As such, all project result and deliverables will be of open domain and widely disseminated. This includes code developed within the project.

Necessary technologies

  • More information will follow as the project progresses.

Factor money

  • More information will follow as the project progresses.

Project goals

Overall project goal:

  • Developing and implementing different approaches to Affordable Positive Clean Energy Districts.
     

Role of DKSR:

  • Setting up monitoring technical infrastructure to monitore performance and project Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by setting up a KPI engine on our Open Urban Data Platform which collects and standardizes the data from the participating citites and their platforms.

  • Developing a reference model for building local energy communities. This serves as a blueprint for Positive Energy Districs, explaining what is needed form a technological point of view as well as with regards to the data architecture.

  • Developing a web based tool to help cities decide which approach to Clean Energy Districts will work best for them.

Projektkoordinator

We look forward to European cooperation in this diverse consortium. It is precisely the common challenges of the European city of tomorrow that the ASCEND project will be working on over the next five years.
