The project has developed and demonstrated as set of solutions that foster the adoption of flexibility in the electricity market, addressing the needs of different stakeholders:
-Three different markets (day-ahead, intra-day, real-time) incorporating flexibility services for mitigating issues of the distribution grid were developed and validated with real-life pilot data. The results showcased that they can mitigate operational issues with satisfactory scalability and accuracy, efficiently addressing issues of the distribution network.
-A wide portfolio of Energy Management Systems (EMSs) has been developed and demonstrated, capable to support a diverse set of loads (domestic, industrial, EVs) and storage assets (stationary batteries) under different contexts (e.g. energy communities, microgrids) as well as the utilization of virtual energy reservoirs.
-A solution for Distribution System Operators (i.e. DSO Toolbox) has been implemented and demonstrated, enabling the forecasting of various grid issues (congestions, voltage violations), offering proactive management of the grid, by leveraging flexible assets, ultimately acting as an alternative to traditional grid interventions and leading to higher RES penetration.
-Two novel business cases were demonstrated, enabled by two Energy Communities (in Wunsiedel and Hassfurt): Local energy balancing of community using DLT technologies & digital coins (FlexCoin); Regional balancing (Flexibridge), enabling trade of flexibility and energy among Energy Communities.
FEVER consortium was a founding member of the FlexCommunity, a community of more than 250 members aiming to promote the adoption of flexibility solutions in the energy system.
During this period, the consortium has paved its exploitation pathway, analyzing 15 Key Exploitable Results, conducted its scalability and replicability analysis, participated in 41 events, co-organised the FlexCommunity 2023 Conference, organized the project’s final event and produced 15 scientific publications.
