Abstract
Certain categories of citizen energy initiatives are increasingly recognised as "local/citizen energy communities". This implies an enabling regulatory framework, fair treatment and a well-defined catalogue of rights and obligations to deploy certain functions in the energy system at local level.The establishment of energy communities should be valuable and profitable both for society and energy market players by providing the ability to drive local environmental, economic or social benefits for its members or the local area where they operate.There are a variety of approaches available that will determine the direction in which the power system will evolve and adapt to meet the future requirements. Some of these approaches have been tested in real life, operational environments and demonstrated to be technically viable solutions for providing a more cost effective way of integrating renewable generation while maintaining the required levels of security of supply and power quality. In this short paper, focus is placed on the approach Energy Communities, which is leveraging on the fast diffusion of Distributed Energy Resources in most worldwide gridsIn order to foster the emergence of Energy Communities, while facilitating their integration into the electrical energy system through the minimization of data exchange requirements and allowing them to provide ancillary services to the system, a holistic architecture is proposed in this paper (LINK-based holistic architecture).
