Imagine the power grid as a highway that gets jammed when too many electric cars or solar panels are used at once. This project builds a digital traffic control system that pays people to shift their energy use to quieter times. It lets homes and businesses act like a giant battery for the city, keeping the lights on without needing expensive new cables.
Traditional power grids cannot handle the unpredictable nature of renewable energy and electric vehicles. This leads to grid congestion and wasted energy because there is no efficient way to pay users to change their consumption patterns.
The GDBN platform and a Reference Architecture for interoperable networks. These include tools for battery optimization, energy community management, and automated market forecasting.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid congestion from renewables — this project developed the GDBN platform that integrates with market data to automate congestion management. It allows you to use local assets like batteries and heat pumps to stabilize the grid.
If you are an aggregator dealing with fragmented energy sources — this project developed the RECreation service for energy community management. This allows you to group multiple small power generators to provide joint offers on the electricity market.
If you are a heating provider dealing with peak demand spikes — this project developed predictive control and aggregation tools. These tools allow you to integrate thermal assets into local flexibility markets to maximize asset value.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the platforms are not provided; the focus is on refining business models.
Yes, the project validated services across pilot sites in Spain, France, Sweden, and Italy, including a local flexibility market expanded to 12 regions in Sweden.
Based on available project data, there is no specific mention of licensing terms or patent filings.
The project highlights a critical need for regulatory adaptation to enable flexibility markets and support consumer-driven grid policies.
The project developed a Reference Architecture for a network of platforms and defined 29 use cases for cloud-based DERMS and Open ADMS.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 22 industrial partners representing 79% of the group. This high ratio, combined with 4 SMEs and partners across 9 countries, indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and cross-border technical standardization rather than pure academic research.
