The first part of this report presents the eNeuron toolbox concept diagram with a detailed description of the different phases in the Energy Hub (EH) and micro–Energy Hub (mEH) levels. The second part of the report reflects on long-term optimisation objectives based on use cases, while the third describes the activities undertaken by project Task Forces. The final part of the document presents an overview of a feedback loop between the long and short-term optimisation problems to complete the overall methodology development.

In the framework of the validation of energy hub solutions, several technology components have been modelled for their use in future simulations, including distributed generation units, energy storage systems, and flexibility components from all energy carriers to design hybrid models of the energy hubs. In the present report, a set of scenarios for simulation has been defined to cover a wide spectrum of energy carriers and locations in future simulations. These scenarios envision their implementation in the medium term, and their definition will allow a precise simulation prior to its real implementation within the project. Some of the scenarios are grounded on the four pilots of the eNeuron project, and its possible implementation within the project time frame. Others are more general, intending to provide a wider vision of technologies not restricted to pilots’ characteristics.

This report provides an overview of these activities performed up to July 2022, along with their impact and details of the materials and channels used, and the results obtained. Much of the document is dedicated to the monitoring strategy of ICONS and to provide some initial data especially regarding the social activity and the release of eNeuron publications. Since its inception in November 2020, the project has sought to share its insights and developments by way of communication and dissemination activities. The monitoring activity is a continuous process that allows ICONS to improve the dissemination and communication activities

This report describes the eNeuron engagement framework and the engagement process carried out by the four pilots. It also presents the social evaluation framework, including a set of KPIs defined to assess the social dimension of the project’s intervention. The eNeuron engagement framework foresees three main types of target stakeholders: indirect beneficiaries, users of the eNeuron toolbox and other stakeholders. The current report describes the first phase of the engagement plan (M18- M24) and the outcomes of the process.
