Imagine the power grid as a giant scale that needs to stay balanced. When there is too much wind or solar power, we need to quickly turn on devices to soak up that energy. This technology acts like a remote control for thousands of small devices, like EV chargers, to help balance the grid and pay the owners for their help.
Existing flexibility services focus on large industrial customers, leaving small-scale resources like EV chargers and rooftop solar untapped because they are too costly to manage individually.
A modular cloud-based intelligent platform and low-cost hardware integration for real-time aggregation of low-power electricity resources.
If you are an EV charging station operator dealing with high energy costs and grid instability — this project developed a modular cloud platform that unlocks the flexibility of resources down to 10kW. This allows you to get paid for contributing to grid stability.
If you are a solar installer dealing with energy curtailment where green power is wasted — this project developed a scalable software solution that aggregates low-powered PV installations. This ensures more renewable energy is used and reduces GHG emissions.
If you are a grid operator dealing with a lack of generation capacity expected by 2030 — this project developed a real-time balancing system that connects diverse demand-side resources. This increases security of supply and reduces the cost of electricity.
Based on available project data, a higher share of demand-side flexibility resources in the system will reduce the overall costs of electricity.
Yes, the project aims to unlock more than 10GW of flexible resources by 2030 using a modular cloud-based intelligent platform.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the solution is built as a modular cloud-based software platform by Sympower BV.
The solution uses a modular framework that allows for rapid adjustment to national technical and regulatory requirements across Europe.
The system uses relatively simple and low-cost hardware to connect devices into a large network driven by a cloud software platform.
The project is 100% industry-driven, consisting of 4 SMEs across 3 countries (Finland, Netherlands, Sweden). This composition indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and rapid market deployment rather than academic research, with over 40 employees directly contributing to the technical execution.
