ENFLATE

ENabling FLexibility provision by all Actors and sectors through markets and digital Technologies

Description

Energy decarbonisation system is a priority. To achieve this, the penetration of clean energy needs to be facilitated. The ENFLATE project applies technologies on data-driven energy and non-energy services, which it will replicate in different geographies and climates, considering different consumer needs. It proposes consumer-centric flexibility platforms and will test them in Bulgary, Spain, Greece, Sweden and Switzerland, involving local consumers, authorities, service providers, manufacturers and the scientific community. Efficient business models will be developed, combining energy services with health and mobilty services.

Objectives

    • Design, implement and demonstrate an interoperable, collaborative and secure platform of tools, with a multi-vector energy approach, building on existing digital platforms from previous research projects. 
    • Develop and demonstrate data-driven digital tools that enable multi-energy carriers to participate in flexibility markets. 
    • Design and demonstrate cost-effective digital solutions and business models to engage consumers, prosumers, aggregators, asset owners that provide flexibility with a collaborative approach, all for a socially just energy transformation 
    • Establish, demonstrate and evaluate new flexibility market designs, tested in different countries, linked to existing national markets and the European Energy Exchange.
    • Propose regulatory vpathway to incorporate consumer-centred markets and new business models.

Actions

  • Analysis of possible flexibility services that can be implemented in the project, based on a review of similar thematic projects and services present in European markets. Evaluation of potential services to be implemented in each of the project´s demonstrators, based on the available technologies.
  • Analysis of the digitalisation needs to involve all the needed actors (TSOs, DSOs, aggregators, energy providers, charge operators, etc.)
  • Development, implementation and validation of a modelling tool for the generation, storage and flexible load assets available at the Láchar demonstrator (distribution network belonging to DSO CUERVA). This tool is use to predict flexibility that those grid can offer. Validation will be realised in 3 use-cases: (1) Resolution of surges and congestions in the grid, thus ensuring grid stability in the face of renewable energy integration; (2)Provision of ancillary servicesto the grid.To this end, the available generation and storage will be optimisde in order to offer the necessary flexibility to meet the TSO´s  needs.
  •  Development, implementation and validation of a tool for the detection of non-technical energy losses (fradulent use), and more specifically,the detection of squatters. This tool will be validated on the Láchar network (belonging to the DSO CUERVA).

Expected Results

  • Services list that will be implemented on the project demonstrators.
  • Active modelling tool (generation and storage) and flexibility prediction for the Láchar network (Granada).
  • Non-technical loss detection tool to identify the presence of squatters in the network of Láchar (Granada).

R&D Line

  • Research in control algortihms for the flexible demand, response demand and its participation on markets.

    TIGON

    The proliferation of renewable energies and the electric charges that operates with continuous current originates a growing interest in electric grids that operates with continuous current. This is due to the higher efficiency, security, flexibility and feasability that grids have than those ones that operates with alternate current.
