Emulating European Electricity Markets for Flexible Energy Systems
Europe’s energy system is changing fast. As wind and solar power grows, the energy system is facing unique hurdles. One of the biggest is energy flexibility. It’s the ability to adjust electricity generation or consumption when actual conditions differ from forecasts. Aggregators, energy communities, and technology providers face a clear challenge. They must design, test, […]
Making Flexibility Work: Lessons from the French STUNNED Demonstrator
At first sight, family homes with solar panels, a small office building, and a farm with irrigation pumps don’t look like they have much in common. However, in STUNNED, they do. With the right setup, each of the three can become part of flexible energy communities that not only consume electricity but also shift and […]
The Role of SCADA in Bridging the Gap Between Prosumers and Flexibility Market: Technical insights into STUNNED
In recent years, the European regulatory framework has clearly recognized the crucial role of aggregation in modernizing and democratizing energy markets. While regulations now officially grant many small producers, consumers, and prosumers the legal right to sell their flexibility, a question remains: do we have a digital infrastructure to support this transition? Most facilities that […]
Energy Flexibility: Europe’s Hidden Asset for the Energy Transition
As renewables grow, flexibility becomes the missing link between clean energy solutions and grid reality. The energy transition isn’t just a race to deploy renewables and become more energy efficient. It’s also a quest to build systems that adapt. And there is good news: Europe’s energy transition is accelerating. Wind and solar energy are leading the change towards the EU’s goals to have 42.5% […]
Stackelberg Games: Powering the Future of Energy Flexibility in STUNNED
How Game Theory is Orchestrating Smarter, Greener Energy Communities Across Europe In the rapidly evolving landscape of energy systems, the integration of renewables, electric vehicles, and smart buildings is creating both opportunities and challenges. One of the most promising approaches to managing this complexity is the use of advanced mathematical models, among them the Stackelberg Game. […]
