DistributEd MANagement logics and Devices for electricity savings in active users installations
DEMAND offers a distributed and scalable system that implements innovative programmable monitoring and control logic for optimized management of localized consumption, production and storage systems, using an embedded device that interacts with other users to negotiate the decisions to be undertaken in response to distributor requests.

Experimentation and validation

The hardware and software prototypes developed during the project will be installed at the pilot sites, where an experimentation phase will be conducted to evaluate the benefits that can be obtained by exploiting the functionalities of the technological solution proposed by the project.

Residential

A pilot at ANFFAS assisted residences in the province of Trento and a pilot at a private residential user in Lavis, in the province of Trento.

Industrial

An industrial pilot project in at least one of the companies located in the Conversano technology park in Bari.
