Real Life Experience—Demonstration Sites

Abstract This section describes the results of the different optimization processes implemented in terms of energy savings and demonstrates the viability and feasibility of the COOPERaTE platform in two test sites. Indeed, COOPERaTE is not only a theoretical project: it was decided to illustrate the proposed COOPERaTE energy management approaches and services through two test sites: the Bishopstown site in Ireland and the Challenger site in France. After exposing the methodology and use cases, a description and an evaluation of the KPIs is completed. This evaluation enables to compare the baseline and the reporting period; and enhance the real savings and impact on the two neighborhoods and potentially the impact on energy positive neighborhoods through the demonstration of the main four use-cases.
