CoEnerBuild
Buildings’ virtual power plant for carbon-neutral electricity and grid resilience.
CoEnerBuild is an international project that develops a virtual power plant made up of nearly-zero energy buildings in different locations. It looks at how building demand, renewable generation, energy storage, and exchanges with the grid can be coordinated so that the buildings work together as a flexible energy resource.
The Polish Consortium is led by the Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences together with TwinIO Energy. Its work includes the trading algorithm for the energy-management system, the Krakow pilot, and support for the virtual-power-plant model, digital twin, and simulations.
The consortium includes six partners from Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Spain, and Türkiye. The work brings together building energy management, aggregation, digital-twin modeling, equipment sizing, and market operation. Pilot sites in Krakow and Başakşehir will test the approach in real buildings and grid conditions.
The project runs from December 2024 to November 2027 (CETP-FP-2023-00014) and is supported through the Clean Energy Transition Partnership. The Polish participation is financed by the National Centre for Research and Development.
