The SHAR-Q project aims to design a decentralized collaboration framework to optimize renewable energy and energy storage sharing among participating actors across 6 European countries. It will connect distributed energy ecosystems into an interoperability network through an open API gateway. This will allow sharing of storage capacities to significantly reduce costs for renewable energy and storage ecosystems. The solution is being tested through 3 pilot projects demonstrating integrated local energy systems.

Storage capacity over virtual neighbourhoods of energy ecosystems
MOTIVATION
OBJECTIVES
SHAR-Q concept enables sharing of storage capacities, bringing significant
savings on them, in order to reduce the unit-cost of RES+EES ecosystems.
6
COUNTRIES
SHAR-Q aims to design and create a decentralized collaboration framework
of distributed energy ecosystems connecting them
into a peer-to-peer interoperability network,
in order to achieve the optimisation of
RES+EES through sharing capacities
among the participating actors.
The solution will be based on an
open interoperability gateway
with the corresponding open API
that connects the smart energy
resources operated by different
actors into the SHAR-Q collaboration
framework. The users will be provided
with an ability to manage their contribution
to the collaborative energy management models
on their own in a way that resembles the social web portals.

STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY BOARD
Insufficient consideration of stakeholders’ motivations and concerns causes the failure of many R&D projects. For this
reason, SHAR-Q is supported by a Stakeholder Advisory Board which represents the majority of the value-chain involved
in EES operation and manufacturing. The Board will assist the SHAR-Q consortium providing expert advice to assure
consistency in the project outcomes in accordance with market expectations.
