Case Study Analysis of Energy Monitoring for Prosumer Engagement and Energy Awareness

This paper describes an ongoing experimental demonstration conducted by ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) involving users of an energy community being established in the municipality of Anguillara Sabazia, north of Rome (Italy). The new generation meters of production and exchange with the grid are monitored at the homes of these users. The acquired data is sent to the DHOMUS platform, where it is processed in order to provide educational feedback that increases the energy awareness of the users. Starting from an analysis of the consistency and validity of the acquired data, a significant case study of a prosumer participating in the experimentation was examined in depth. For this case study, the acquired data is compared with reference profiles made available by the Independent Administrative Authority ARERA (Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment).
