BRIDGE REPORT: SYNERGIES BETWEEN DEMOS – ID CARDS (REGULATION & DATA MAN-AGEMENT WORKING GROUPS)
This report summarises the activities undertaken by BRIDGE Regulation WG related to Action 5 – Syner-gies between demos (ID Cards). This Action aims to initiate a common repository of information on demo sites using generic demo ID cards which were developed within this action. The ID cards were designed based on discussions and experiences from the members of the Regulation WG and provide information on development of demo sites, their assets and expected outcomes. This report presents samples of the ID cards from various projects that participated in the first stage of the data collection process. The report also provides a specification for a solution for a web repository that should allow easy search through the demo sites across Europe.

BRIDGE REPORT: ECONOMIES OF ENERGY COMMUNITIES REVIEW OF ELECTRICITY TAR-IFFS AND BUSINESS MODELS
The main focus of this report is the economic aspect of energy communities. The economic aspect is split into two parts: (1) electricity tariffing, with focus on a potential link between the implementation of a local flexibility market and energy communities and encouraging increase share of renewable energy genera-tion through energy communities; and (2) business models and services offered by energy communities and wider collective energy actions across the EU. In total, 20 Member States (Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) are reviewed to show the variation and simi-larities across EU.

Thesis: Integrationof the transmission system frequency-based ancillary servicies makets with EU
The thesis aims to present innovative solutions for creating a harmonised European balancing market with lower balancing costs, through a made-up scenario of the South-east Europe (SEE) region integration. The scenario will demonstrate the cross-border balancing possibilities for the activation of the optimal bids to satisfy TSOs’ demands in the observed area. To achieve the goal of the thesis, an emphasis is put on frequency ancillary service’s standard product called Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve (mFRR) and the development of the mFRR platform within Horizon2020 project CROSSBOW. The solution presented in CROSSBOW project is a common system market platform for mFRR, which could act as a common European balancing market. Such a market could lower the balancing costs in the observed region by using cross-border balancing energy, hence increasing social welfare within the region. The benefits of mFRR platform are of great importance to the South-East European countries, including Slovenia. Activation of cross-border balancing energy with the help of Activation Optimization Function and Common Merit Order List and improved allocation of real-time Cross-Zonal Capacities ease the future process of harmonizing regulatory frameworks and legislation.
