Decision support tool for retrofitting a district towards district as a service

Successful adoption of Smart Grid requires technological readiness of all the players from generation plans to the end consumers. This implies many challenges, especially affecting the brownfield urban areas. A decision support platform, allowing evaluation of retrofitting options in terms of cost and performance is required to design and implement urban infrastructure upgrade measures, facilitating timely integration with modern energy systems. This paper presents the approach taken in the URB-Grade project in order to design such a system. Both methodology and overall technological approach are presented, together with description of demonstration scenarios foreseen.
