Deliverables

Technical report: models and algorithms for managing FLEX4FACT cluster flexibility (opens in new window)

Description of mathematical models used to define/set-up the FLEX4FACT cluster flexibility.

Technical reports: sample cases and numerical experiments to test the beta version of the cloud platform (opens in new window)

Description of the sample cases and numerical experiments performed to test the beta version of the FLEX4FACT Industrial Cluster Flexibility Platform.

Flex4Fact System Reference Architecture, Standard and Protocols (opens in new window)

It will illustrate in a simplified way the design principle, the main system components, and their relationships. It will provide the high-level requirements that guide subsystem development (including standards, protocols, and cybersecurity), address key functions, and document interfaces.

KPIs Table for Validation (opens in new window)

Revision and update of the KPIs considering the knowledge acquired during the project.

Optimization of industry flexibility to increase integration of renewables: a case study (opens in new window)

Two scenarios per use case will be defined: (i) a status quo, with associated carbon footprint and energy consumption per unit of product, to be used for benchmarking, and (ii) a prospective scenario with techno-economic evaluations based on expected transition paths of the regional energy mix in line with the EUs emission reduction targets by 2030. The cost reduction, carbon reduction potential per unit of output, and increased share of renewables in the energy mark of the products, will be evaluated for each use-case over the defined scenarios. Detailed constraints at case level will be defined to reduce the complexity of the optimization.
