Approach to Energy System Modelling for Supporting Decarbonization Scenarios in Energy Communities

Abstract. This research paper proposes an approach to energy system modelling for supporting decarbonization scenarios in energy communities and transition towards a sustainable energy future. Energy communities, comprising small-scale distributed energy systems, are increasingly being considered as a viable solution to achieve decarbonization goals. The process of designing and implementing energy communities faces technical challenges such as integration of data and services from different assets and technology providers. Preliminary results from a case study from Serbia are also presented.
