D2.3: High-level requirements for the DEDALUS social, technological and business framework

This deliverable defines the high-level requirements and architecture of the DEDALUS social, technological and business framework, designed to broaden residential consumers’ participation in demand response across different energy carriers. Building on the requirements analysis presented in Deliverable D2.1 and the needs of consumers and pilot sites, the document reviews enabling technologies and data-driven services, identifies 23 use cases, and consolidates their functional and non-functional requirements. It proposes a software architecture integrating existing solutions for consumer profiling, flexibility forecasting and management, digital twins, consumer engagement, and energy and flexibility trading. Particular attention is paid to interoperability, cybersecurity, personal data protection, and the principles of fairness and transparency. The deliverable provides the foundation for developing, integrating and validating the framework across seven European pilot sites, supporting its replication in diverse socioeconomic and energy contexts.
