Integrated energy solutions and new market mechanisms for an eXtended FLEXibility of the European grid
Suite5 was responsible for the development and testing of tools for aggregators and flexibility managers. The main innovation was the delivery of a context aware demand flexibility framework to enable participation of demand in the emerging flexibility markets.
The need for more flexible electricity markets to match demand with supply is becoming more urgent as renewables are comprising a larger portion of Europe’s energy supply. The EU-funded X-FLEX project supported this new era of energy generation and production. It proposed a set of integrated solutions that facilitated the optimum combination of decentralised flexibility assets. This allowed grid operators and prosumers to offer flexible grid solutions in the local and wholesale market, creating benefits along the smart grid value chain. X-FLEX solutions were tested in four pilot sites in three member states – Bulgaria, Greece and Slovenia. Such flexibility options are instrumental in achieving a secure, flexible, and sustainable grid that can handle supply-demand variability.
