The Horizon Europe project "BlueBird" aims to revolutionise the use of energy flexibility assets in the electricity domain by harnessing cutting-edge AI and data solutions. Aligned with the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal, BlueBird seeks to enhance sustainability, efficiency, and integration within the energy sector.
BlueBird’s primary goal is to deliver a robust and validated toolset to support the competitive adoption of buildings as energy flexibility assets. By doing so, the project will facilitate seamless collaboration between energy market players such as Transmission System Operators, Distribution System Operators, and aggregators, while addressing the unique requirements and acceptance criteria of building managers and occupants.
The project will be trialled across seven large-scale demonstrators in five European countries—Spain, Belgium, Poland, Austria, and Germany. These demonstrators will include validation of end-user and beneficiary acceptance using innovative social-science methodologies.
Fostering Innovation and Replicability
To ensure long-term impact and replicability, BlueBird will compile a comprehensive package of lessons learned and actionable recommendations for future adoption. This guidance will emphasise sustainable industrial partnerships and ecosystem resilience, offering a roadmap for broader application across Europe.
IPVS Contribution
Within the BlueBird project, the IPVS is leading the coordination and management of the demonstrators. Additionally, we closely collaborate with the Technical University of Denmark and other project partners to develop a Digital Twin framework, which is one of the cornerstones for the implementation of the smart building energy management.
