Description
Summary:Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) have been officially introduced into the European legislation through the Clean Energy for all Europeans package. A REC is defined as an association of citizens, commercial activities, enterprises, and local authorities that own small-scale power plants based on Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). The community has the objective of maximizing the share of renewable energy, i.e. the self-consumption of the energy generated by the community RES power plants and to generally optimize the use of electrical energy. This paper describes the ComER project, developed by the University of Cassino and the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome. The project focuses on the main technical problems to face for the realization of a REC. The principal objective is to develop methods and tools necessary for the management and control of RECs. In particular, this paper describes the rules established for RECs in the Italian legislations, the organization of the ComER project, the adopted solutions and the first obtained results.
