Integration of Loads and Electric Storage Systems into Advanced Flexibility Schemes for LV Networks

Project dates:

Objective

Leafs evaluates the effects of increased costumer and energy market driven utilization of energy storage systems and load flexibility on power distribution grids. Technologies and operation strategies are developed enabling optimal use of distribution grid infrastructure by activating flexibilities using direct or indirect control also by the local grid operator or even incentives.
