Flatten the Curve: A new energy exchange approach
Paper presentation by researchers: Palazzolo Henkes, Cerezo & Galdys
In the project “Flattening the curve” the aim is to analyze the energy consumption and energy production data to propose active and passive strategies that can bring a new and more sustainable energy model.
By understanding how existing energy consumption and
potential solar energy production time patterns, it is possible to redefine the way we see our buildings from static, emitting, and consuming infrastructure to performative, self-sufficient, and interconnected nodes in a new distributed network of communication for the exchange of data, energy, and resources.
The final outcome of the research includes urban analytics, the design of a strategic plan, and the creation of an interactive urban simulator. The case study is done in the Poblenou district in Barcelona city, but the analysis and methodology can be implemented in other locations around the world.
