Energy Management Systems for flexibility services
Deadline: 16 January 2024
Expected Outcomes:
- Contribute to the use of smart buildings and smart industrial sites for the integration of renewables in the energy system in an efficient way.
- Demonstrate interoperability and data exchange technologies to aggregate data from different sources and in different formats through cooperation between aggregators and energy management system developers.
- Piloting and demonstration of flexibility pool operations at the local and regional levels.
- Demonstrate aggregation of multiple (building or industrial) energy management systems to provide flexibility services (wholesale market price signals, demand response, flexible production, smart charging, balancing & frequency services, congestion management) to the electricity network.
Scope:
Projects are expected to :
- Develop solutions to aggregate flexibility from different energy consumers that use different energy management systems to develop interoperable solutions to optimise the energy management systems and valorise its flexibility in wholesale markets and for balancing and/or congestion management services.
- Define and demonstrate the type of flexibility services that clusters of smart buildings and smart industrial sites can provide.
- Include at least 3 different energy management systems in case of industry, or 5 in case of buildings, developed by different technology providers and that use different protocols/standards/proprietary solutions for the energy management system.
- Involve at least 3 different energy system management service companies in case of industry, or 5 in case of buildings.
