- <p><span lang="EN-GB">This deliverable reports on the project’s work related to the definition of KPIs and the analysis of their interaction. As a first part, it provides a foundational understanding of KPIs and outlines key considerations specific to agro communities for selecting appropriate indicators. These considerations emphasize the unique characteristics of agricultural operations, including environmental dependencies, social aspects and economic constraints. Furthermore, it conducts an extensive review of existing projects and initiatives in the same domain, leveraging insights to identify established KPIs and associated best practices. This groundwork ensures that the followed approach aligns with current advancements and addresses gaps in the measurement of RES integration in agricultural contexts.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">Building upon this foundation, the second part commences by integrating findings from prior work inside HarvRESt which identified preliminary considerations related to Use Case outcomes. It expands on these insights to propose a comprehensive set of KPIs under five categories: agricultural, economic, energy, environmental, and social. These KPIs aim to holistically evaluate the performance and sustainability of the project’s Use Cases, which include diverse farming operations. Each KPI is meticulously defined with a clear description, detailed measurement guidelines, including data requirements, calculation formulas, and applicable units, ensuring their practical applicability and reliability.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">To further facilitate the assessment of the project's Use Cases, a traceability matrix is laid out, linking KPIs to specific Use Cases. This mapping identifies the relevance of each KPI to individual Use Cases, offering clarity on performance measurement at both granular and overarching levels. The deliverable seeks, as much as possible at this stage of the project, to ensure that the KPIs could yield insights beyond the specificities of each Use Case’s context. To this end, considerations related to benchmarking the proposed KPIs against existing agro community data, is provided wherever possible, to provide a reference point for evaluating RES integration while maintaining comparability with external contexts.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">Then, the deliverable outlines preliminary steps for data collection and pre-processing. These steps aim to standardise data gathering and enhance the robustness of KPI measurement across the five project Use Cases. By adopting this structured approach, we aim to develop a reliable ground for evaluating the integration of RES in agro communities; the work will be further evaluated in upcoming Work Packages, for example in order to understand trade-offs and to establish weighting criteria.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">Finally, a conflict matrix has been developed in order to identify which KPIs have a critical effect in others.</span></p>
