Complementing this effort, Work Package 5 contributes to Work Packages 2, 3, and 4 by addressing electricity grid communication and defining relevant grid requirements. This ensures alignment between system control strategies and the operational needs of the electrical grid.
Building on these theoretical developments, Work Package 7 focuses on translating them into practical hardware and software applications within building environments, particularly in the domains of building automation and supervisory control. The resulting concepts and solutions are then tested and validated under real-world conditions in the case study buildings as part of Work Package 8, ensuring their practical relevance and effectiveness.
To support learning and collaboration across the project, knowledge transfer is actively facilitated through Work Package 9. WP9 also provides continuous feedback to the other work packages, enabling iterative refinement and stronger integration of results.
Finally, Work Package 10 ensures smooth coordination of the entire project, beginning with the proposal development and continuing through project execution, progress monitoring, knowledge dissemination, and time management. These responsibilities are overseen by the project’s lead partner ('Penvoerder').
At the core of the project, Work Package 1 lays the foundation by developing key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the Smart Readiness Indicator. These KPIs serve as the driving force in Work Packages 2 through 6, guiding the implementation of model predictive control applications and enhancing end-user interaction.
