Main findings and recommendations

This report will provide a comprehensive summary of the main contributions and final results obtained within the PlatOne CBA and SRA, with an emphasis on the work developed within the fourth and final year of the project. Firstly, a theoretical framework and a practical methodological approach will be developed before proceeding to the analysis itself. The core of this methodology corresponds to a simulation-based technical analysis which required classifying the different smart grid solutions attending to their specific goals. Furthermore, this report will present an extensive discussion on how non-technical boundary conditions, i.e. regulation and stakeholders’ perspectives, may affect the replication and upscaling of the PlatOne use cases. Lastly, this report will introduce some additional concluding remarks in order to highlight the future work that may help expand the analyses presented herein as well as the main barriers encountered whilst developing this work.
