D6.1 Report on the current systems

Integration, testing and validation of the developed Miracle methodologies and algorithms will be performed in two testing environments. In one, an important part will be simulation based data analyses of the MeRegio project; and in the other, the running of the test scenarios on in the CRES test bed.

The MeRegio project plans to set up the pilot region with 1,000 consumers, with the goal to minimize the CO2 emissions at energy supply. A side result of the project will be also substantial amount of the measured energy consumption data, which shall be used as an input for the testing and validation of the Miracle project.

The CRES test bed provides the necessary facilities and resources like RES, measurement equipment and corresponding infrastructure to implement and test the Miracle features in a controlled environment.

Both in the development as well as in the testing phase of the project, the approaches, solutions and experiences of other similar projects can be of benefit. In its second part, the report briefly describes the projects in the same general field as the Miracle project, and which are now in the developing or concluding phases and which - to the extent that the concepts and solutions are already formulated and available for interested parties outside the project partners - could be used as references for state-of-the-art in the neighboring and cross-section fields with Miracle. The projects identified, shortly presented and their intersection with Miracle discussed, are: FENIX, EU DEEP, AEOLUS, MORE MICROGRIDS, ADDRESS, EDISON, DLC-VIT4IP and Smart House/Smart Grid.
