Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) have been clearly defined in the EU Directive (RED) II (Directive 2018/2001) contained within Clean Package (CEP). This review moves from state of art transposition processes place different member states order to highlight main barriers regarding actual implementation RECs, terms governance, technical issues and economic sustainability. The paper analyses three levels structure any REC: social governance level, energy technology optimization aspects, business models. analysis has conducted by considering models developed literature most interesting case studies where these applied. work aims at finding some conclusions about interactions between mentioned above national policy regulations, while identifying gaps currently available literature.

This study presents innovative methodologies addressing critical challenges in energy community real-cases implementation. The investigation is conducted by exploring and enhancing the concept of Peer-to-Peer community, where prosumers interact with consumers sharing surplus to meet their electricity demands. end-users' connections are optimised maximizing interactions proposed pricing strategies based on balancing supply demand curves for tailored unit costs. aims optimise design communities' configurations applicability real case scenarios suggesting novel aggregation criteria. These criteria focused select type number users an maximize economic benefit amount self-consumed renewable energy. A bi-level optimisation approach at basis these first level maximizes self-sufficiency benefits aggregating into subgroups. second determines optimal configuration, prioritizing total self-consumption. methodology requires knowledge users' electrical needs, therefore, address problem related insufficient data, a Hybrid Neural Network model simulate building residential area Caserta, Italy, demonstrates methodology's effectiveness. By identifying user types, predicting demands, employing techniques, estimates (1.6% 19.5% savings) (return investment <3 years) compared reference scenario connected only national grid. Moreover, strategy achieves 89% annual self-consumption 64% scenario, significantly reducing network imbalances caused prosumer surpluses.

The Renewable Energy Community (REC) in Europe promotes renewable energy sources (RESs), offering social, economic, and environmental benefits. This new entity could alter consumer relationships, requiring self-consumption, sharing, full utilization of RESs. Modernizing systems within the REC requires addressing demand response, management system initiatives. paper discusses role decentralized systems, scenarios concept key aspects, activities involving generation, consumption, storage EV technologies. Moreover, present work highlights research gap existing literature necessity technological elements. It also that there is no uniform architecture or model for REC, like case microgrids. Additionally, emphasizes importance elements RECs, suggesting future recommendations EMS, DSM, data monitoring analytics, communication software tools to ensure reliability, efficiency, measures. authors highlight crucial policymakers relevant policies, which help implementing these show RECs a sustainable shift transition.

This study aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with renewable energy communities (RECs) in Italy. The results, obtained through an incentivised online survey analytic hierarchy process, showed that economic saving on costs is most relevant criterion for both consumers expert stakeholders. Also, technical barriers independence emerged as developing RECs. Consumers are more sensitive social behind RECs, while experts focus only aspects. benefits, pragmatism, effective management of human physical resources within RECs can help achieve sustainable development.

This paper aims to give overview key aspects challenges for implementation EC concept. Firstly, regulatory framework is examined with focus on new definitions introduced by EU, Renewable Communities (RECs) Citizen (CECs). Secondly, examples established their main objectives mentioned. Additionally, based identified requirements establishing ECs, technologies that implemented or have potential be deployed in examined, as well innovative cross-cutting services optimally suited integrated EC. Moreover, data management linked some these considered. Finally, actual financing schemes support development given. Overall, analysis highlighted regulatory, technical financial facing need address them so concept effective successful.
