This project develops an Aggregator that collects consumers’ demands and aggregates first and re-schedules to create a communitarian demand view.
Would you be worried about…
—Please choose an option—Your data privacySecurity of the communication with the AggregatorData StatisticsLoad profilingThe use of data by third partiesThe real benefit of the aggregationFossil vs Renewable final supplyIf this supposes bill increasingThe impact of re-scheduling on your time preferenceNone of the aboveOthers

Data collected from consumer comprises the time preference of activation for each appliance. How would you be in the definition of this timing?
—Please choose an option—Flexible; you wouldn’t mind a shiftPartially flexible; you wouldn’t mind a shift on certain appliances and day of the weekRigid; your time preferences would be inelastic

The introduction of these preferences would be through an app. Would you have any problem using the app?
—Please choose an option—NoYes ….which one?

A Home Controller is the household device, which communicates data between you and your Aggregator as well as controls your appliance activation. It is little, efficient and low-cost. Would you have any problem installing this Controller at home?
—Please choose an option—NoYes ….which one?

The aggregation task results in a communitarian demand vector, which is re-scheduled against the available supply from renewables. Each consumer will get a re-scheduled demand vector. Which of the following sounds more you?
—Please choose an option—I trust the Aggregator and would leave my Home Controller activate/deactivate my appliances according to the re-scheduled vector.I trust the Aggregator but rather verify the re-scheduled vector before giving the control to the home device.I trust the Aggregator but rather control my appliances’ activation by myself.I wouldn’t trust the Aggregator…. WhyOthers

Would you trust the most that
—Please choose an option—The Aggregator device locates at Residential facilities.The Aggregator device locates at Utility facilities.The Aggregator device locates at consumers’ facilities; role rotates every week or so.Other

The Utility also gets access to the communitarian demand vector in an anonymised way (billing is controlled through the actual smart metering infrastructure). From this data, novel planning of generation and storage of renewables sources might appear for the benefit of the community/district. How does this sound to you?
—Please choose an option—Very wellJust wellI don’t careOthers

Would you be motivated to participate in this pilot so installing the Home Controller at home and the Aggregator at your residential building?
