During the ICSG Istanbul Smart Cities Panel, the Project Manager Andraz Andolsek presented CyberGrid’s proprietary flexibility platform and its application in the Horizon2020 project FutureFlow.

Consumers and prosumers will take an important role in the stability and security of the power network very soon. At the ICSG Istanbul conference in April 2019, Mr. Andolsek presented how our modular CyberNoc technology exploits flexible capacity for different markets, helps to solve imbalances, and addresses grid stability issues. Meeting the changing demands of electricity markets, our system has proven to be a relevant pillar in the Horizon 2020 project FutureFlow.

Thanks to the FutureFlow project, CyberGrid’s scalable ICT platform is now able to provide balancing services to the aFRR markets. Over 2018, the technology was tested in cross-border pilot tests between 4 TSOs and real-life consumers/prosumers gathered from those 4 control zones, i.e Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and Romania.

The pilot tests have proved that consumers/prosumers are able to contribute reliable balancing services to the TSOs. With the help of consumers and prosumers alike, the EU is closer to achieving the desired CO2-reduction goals, a reduction in the number of fossil-fueled conventional power plants, and realizing a decrease in electrical bills for all consumers.
