FIRST: Mapping flexibility of urban energy systems (2018-19)

The major goal of this project is to unleash the energy flexibility potential of Demand Response measures at a time when buildings are becoming prosumers. The focus of research is the understanding of the costs associated with generation and consumption in different scenarios and the mapping of the potential for flexibility in a visual form.

Energy Flexible Buildings (2014-19)

The aim of this project is to demonstrate how energy flexibility in buildings can provide generating capacity for energy grids, and to identify critical aspects and possible solutions to manage such flexibility. This knowledge is important in order to incorporate energy flexibility of buildings into future smart energy systems and to better accommodate renewable sources in energy systems. It is also important when developing the business case for using building energy flexibility within future systems to potentially reduce costly upgrades of energy distribution grids.
