Digital Marketplace for Trading Energy Flexibility Across Different Home and City Services

energyPilotedTRL 7

Imagine your home's heater, electric car, and water tank talking to the power grid to save money. This project creates a digital app that lets people sell their unused energy capacity back to the grid. It's like a stock market for electricity, but for everyday gadgets and home services.

The business problem

What needed solving

Energy grids struggle to handle the intermittent nature of renewables and the rise of electric heating and transport. This leads to grid congestion and expensive infrastructure upgrades.

The solution

What was built

A collaborative platform including a data management layer, peer-to-peer market platforms, a Battery EMS, and AI-driven energy optimization tools.

Who can put this to work

Energy Distribution
enterprise
Target: Distribution System Operators (DSOs)

If you are a DSO dealing with grid congestion and expensive infrastructure upgrades — this project developed flexibility marketplaces that reduce the need for physical grid upgrades by balancing load through consumer demand response.

Smart Home Technology
SME
Target: Energy Management System (EMS) Providers

If you are an EMS provider dealing with low user engagement — this project developed AI-driven tools and nudging behavioral experiments to increase how citizens interact with energy saving tools.

Healthcare
mid-size
Target: Elderly Care Facility Operators

If you are a care provider dealing with high energy costs and patient monitoring — this project developed a health assessment tool and ML algorithms that combine energy optimization with indoor environmental monitoring.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What regulations does this follow?

The project aligns with the EU Clean Energy Package and Fit 55 policy frameworks for decarbonization.

How does this integrate with existing systems?

It is designed to be interoperable with existing EU data platforms such as ONENET, CoordiNET, SmartNet, and INTERRFACE.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 20 industrial partners (61% of the total), including 8 SMEs. This high ratio of commercial entities compared to only 4 universities and 4 research centers suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and market deployment rather than pure academic research.
