Geo-Deck

Georeferenced Digital Energy Community Kit

Geo-Deck is a software tool for the simulation and optimization of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs), designed to support public decision-makers, planners, and investors in the planning and management of renewable energy (RES) plants and distributed storage systems. The platform integrates state-of-the-art techniques in stochastic programming, machine learning, and heuristic optimization, enabling in-depth analysis of investment risk and the best strategies for managing the technological assets of an REC.

Geo-Deck tailors each analysis to the specific territorial context through the native integration of georeferenced data from shapefiles, raster formats, and open databases. This approach allows for a precise evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of an energy community in relation to the urban fabric and territorial characteristics. Furthermore, the platform is designed to work with real consumption data and interfaces with a wide range of formats provided by energy distributors.

The platform is built on a scalable microservices architecture, designed to handle large volumes of temporal and spatial data and ensure flexibility in integration with external systems. In this way, Geo-Deck offers an innovative and reliable tool to tackle the challenges of the local energy transition in a scientific, sustainable, and data-driven manner.
