Energy market recommendations: Smart Island Energy Systems - H2020 Project SMILE Deliverable 8.4

The Smart Island Energy System (SMILE) combines a number of partners to investigate the project pilot islands Samsø in Denmark, Orkney in the United Kingdom and Madeira in Portugal and their ways of becoming carbon neutral through renewable energy (RE) and smart technology demonstration. While local conditions on these islands differ widely, the investigation covers similar technical and non-technical solutions, such as demand response, smart grid functionalities, storage and energy system integration. The demonstration includes – in line with the transition to high-RE shares – so-called smart technologies, such as battery electricity storage systems (BESS), power-to-heat, power-to-fuel, electric vehicles (EVs), electricity stored aboard boats, aggregator approach to demand side management (DSM) and predictive algorithms.
In this report, we present the outcome of Task 8.4: Energy market design structures to support the transition to high-RE energy systems in Orkney, Samsø and Madeira. Task 8.4 and the corresponding Deliverable 8.4 are part of the work package (WP) 8 of the SMILE project.
