“…Around the globe, different DR programs started to develop in 1990-2010, including air conditioning, heating, etc. Starting with 2010, intense development focused on projects with real-time markets, real-time trading, thermal energy storage, real-time balancing, and load balancing [16,17]. End-user loads are becoming more adjustable through smart devices, allowing them to respond to changes in electricity prices or other tailored incentives from a third party [18].…”

It is essential for the electricity sector to analyze and determine the distribution capacity throughput and apply new methods aimed at increasing the capacity of the transmission system. Consequently, the transition to modern electricity networks is two-sided, i.e., involving technological and social modifications. The demand response (DR) redistributes consumption away from peak times when grid load and costs are the highest. It incentivizes customers to use electricity when supply is high and inexpensive due to various market mechanisms. The present DR policy proposals stress the importance of fostering behavioral change through competitive pricing and customer participation in reducing carbon emissions and implementing smart energy solutions (including monitoring tools, such as smart meters and applications). The internet of things (IoT) has been applied to ensure adaptive monitoring of energy consumption and cost-effective and adequate demand-side management (DSM). The article is based on the research of the most recent sources of DR implementation methods applied at the power distribution level. It explains the main concepts, classifications, and entities implementing DSM programs, and suggests new visions and prospects for DSM and DR. Moreover, it discusses the application of blockchain technology potential for the internet of energy.

“…Energy storages are the main conventional source of flexibility. Others are aggregated controllable Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) loads, realizing fast balancing or frequency response, or power-to-heat demand response solutions (such as heat pumps combined with storages, boreholes and/or water tanks and/or floor heating as thermal mass solutions) [19,22,25].…”

The aim of this paper is to assess opportunities the Clean Energy Package provides for Plus Energy Buildings (PEBs) and Plus Energy Districts (PEDs) regarding their economic optimization and market integration, possibly leading to new use cases and revenue streams. At the same time, insights into regulatory limitations at the national level in transposing the set of EU Clean Energy Package provisions are shown. The paper illustrates that the concepts of PEBs and PEDs are in principle compatible with the EU energy community concepts, as they relate to technical characteristics while energy communities provide a legal and regulatory framework for the organization and governance of a community, at the same time providing new regulatory space for specific activities and market integration. To realize new use cases, innovative ICT approaches are needed for a range of actors actively involved in creating and operating energy communities as presented in the paper. The paper discusses a range of different options to realize PEBs and PEDs as energy communities based on the H2020 EXCESS project. It concludes, however, that currently the transposition of the Clean Energy Package by the EU Member States is incomplete and limiting and as a consequence, in the short term, the full potential of PEBs and PEDs cannot be exploited.
