Join us at Sustainable Places 2022

iFLEX takes part in the workshop “Fostering user engagement for innovative demand responseDemand Response Intentional change of normal consumption patterns by energy consumers in response to external price signals (implicit DR) or incentives to reduce or increase consumption (explicit DR). Both operations can be automated. for effective flexibility” at the Sustainable Places Conference 2022, on 8th September 09:00-10:30 CET.

The session is organised together with the related projects HESTIA, ReDream, ACCEPT and SENDER, funded under the same call topic and will deal with real-life experiences of the consumer-user engagement activities carried out within each project. The topics are: Pilot site landing (from user profiling, recruitment to interaction) and co-creation activities which are central to all of the projects.

Join us to exchange knowledge and ideas that can help improve the engagement strategies, technical tools and platforms. All the details of the workshop can be found on the conference website.

The Sustainable Places 2022 conference takes place from 6th-9th September in Nice, France. The event as well as the workshop will be hybrid, so it is possible to participate in person or online. You can register here.

Two iFLEX papers accepted in IEEE SmartGridComm’22

The papers cover the analysis of the incentive mechanisms in the Slovenian and Greek pilots and have been produced by Athens University of Economics and Business – the Services, Technologies and Economics Group.

Testing the iFLEX concept

To investigate consumer acceptance of the iFLEX concept, the project has conducted a public survey in the three pilot countries. The results show a general positive attitude towards offering energy flexibility and using iFLEX to manage it, as long as it does not conflict with comfort and the feeling of being in control.

Join us at Sustainable Places 2022

iFLEX is co-organising a workshop on consumer-user engagement in the design of energy flexibility services. Join us on 8th September for some real-life experiences and exchange of knowledge and ideas.

What is happening in BRIDGE

Take a look at the recent conclusions and recommendations from the BRIDGE community on how to unlock energy flexibility in Europe.

Offering the thermal capacity of apartment buildings

The Finnish pilot investigates how apartment buildings can contribute to both power grid and district heating system balance by offering the thermal capacity of the building as a flexibility resource. The role of the iFLEX Assistant is to learn the behaviour of the building in order to forecast available flexibility and to automate the demand-response operations.

Managing electricity price signals

The Slovenian pilot looks at dynamic pricing as a means of adjusting electricity consumption behaviour, signalling to consumers and prosumers when it is best to consume energy. The role of the iFLEX Assistant is to make it easy for consumers and prosumers to manage their response to the price signals.
