InterConnect
Interoperable Solutions Connecting Smart Homes, Buildings, and Grids
- Interoperability and flexibility aggregation
- System-wide integration and benefits to end-users
- Cross-border exchanges of flexibility information
The EU-funded project InterConnect aims to advance the democratization of efficient energy management by demonstrating a real digital flexibility market for electrical systems. Interoperability and flexibility aggregation represent key components to the project through seamless, system-wide integration and benefits to end-users.
CyberGrid’s role
Using its Flexibility Aggregation Platform, CyberGrid will lead efforts to integrate all 7 pilot demonstrations. This will showcase the platform’s functionality by deploying a service that enables cross-border exchanges of flexibility information. CyberGrid will provide its state-of-the-art flexibility tools and contribute its expertise on to P2P markets.
CyberGrid also leads on defining and enhancing the flexibility services platform for which guidelines and recommendations will be formulated. Flexibility enablers and associated constraints will be defined, namely: standardized flexibility products with bids structure and information, activation triggers, setpoints, measurements, and verification of service delivery.
