Large-scale deployment of prosumer flexibility in short-term electricity markets considering prosumer interests.
In the Flex+ project, the deployment of remotely controllable prosumer components such as heat pumps, boilers, home storage systems, and e-mobility in short-term electricity markets in Austria is being researched. A special focus is on the economic use of flexibilities at spot and balancing energy markets and on the consideration of the end consumers' own interests. The developed concepts will first be tested by simulation and then validated in large-scale real operation. Based on these results, remuneration models and tariffs for prosumers will be developed and necessary processes along the entire flexibility value chain will be implemented.
