INERTIA

INERTIA addresses challenge :“Data management infrastructures to allow electricity production and consumption to be measured, reported and controlled (and eventually credited or billed)” and aims to deliver an efficient Distribution Grid overlay control/management infrastructure that will maximize the response capacity of the vast small commercial prosumer base (tertiary buildings, offices etc), presenting incentives and delivering benefits through their automated active participation in the energy market. INERTIA will extend DSM strategies by incorporating various types of DER (including local generation and consumption capacity) instead of simple consumer loads and treating both local generation and consumption under a single unified framework. The concept of DER flexibility will also be extended incorporating various local context parameters affecting DER operation, performance as well as DER potential capacity to provide flexibility services to the Distribution Grid.
