Unlocking residential Energy Flexibility on a large scale through a newly standardized interface

Energy Flexibility is the ability of smart devices to deviate from their normal energy producing or consuming behaviour, while still fulfilling their intended purpose, with the goal of contributing to the operation of the energy system. Energy Flexibility has the potential to counteract the mismatch between production and consumption of energy...

Unlocking flexibility of hybrid heat pumps

The hybrid heat pump will play an important role in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. The electrification of heating with heat pumps will put additional stress on the distribution grid (congestion) and may lead to regular local outages. The hybrid heat pump (HHP) is part of the solution as it has the ability to...

Energy management with TRIANA on FPAI

The current growth of smart grid capable appliances motivates the development of general and flexible software systems to support these devices. The FlexiblePower Application Infrastructure (FPAI) is such a system, which classifies devices by their type of flexibility. Subsequently, energy applications only have to support these flexibility...

Optimal resource allocation and load scheduling for a multi-commodity smart energy system

The increasing introduction of district heating systems together with hybrid energy appliances as heat pumps and micro-combined heat and power installations, results in new opportunities for optimizing the available resources in multi-commodity smart energy systems, including electricity, heat and gas. By 'converting' forms of energy using...

An ontology for modeling flexibility in smart grid energy management

The use of renewable energy sources is increasing due to national and international regulations. Such energy sources are less predictable than most of the classical energy production systems, like coal and nuclear power plants. This causes a challenge for balancing the electricity system. A possibility to meet this challenge is to use the...
