Main Task within the EU-SysFlex project

ESADE will work principally leading Task 11.7 Innovative Business Models for the exploitation of EU-
SysFlex technologies. Within this activity we will analyse how resources of individual distributed
energy sources can be allocated between distribution network support and various supply and retail
functions including system balancing, management of energy supplier imbalance risk, management
of intermittent generation, energy arbitrage, contributing to capacity adequacy, while considering
the constraints associated with flexibility. The team’s background with working on similar projects
(LIGHTHOUSE projects “Replicate” and “MySmartLife”) will bring invaluable knowledge of effectively
and efficiently managing the tasks and work involved, as well as being able to build on synergies with
and best practices drawn from those cities and industrial actors involved in those innovation action
projects.
