E-Balance Project

the e-balance project aims at integrating the energy customers into the future smart-grids in order to address future environmental problems with holistic technical solutions based on ict, new business models and citizens’ behaviour under real world conditions. building an energy efficient future with ict solutions: the e-balance project will use and develop ict solutions (sensors and management units) to synchronise final users each other and achieve the optimal commitment between all the stakeholders, optimising the control of energy production and consumption at local level. new paradigm, new business model: under e-balance approach, tariffs and price mechanisms play one of the most important roles, since it is indeed the only way to “balance” the energy demand and supply at the same time. people will be able to specify their preferences and interact with a new energy market where everyone participates as a “small energy plants”. the comparison with other neighbours and a better und
