Technical Summary
When we use a lot of renewable energy, flexibility is becoming crucial and valuable, e.g. for demand response. FlexMeasures is the intelligent & developer-friendly EMS to support real-time energy flexibility apps, rapidly and scalable.
FlexMeasures is a real-time decision support platform (project operation), but also highly effective as a simulation tool (project design).
The problem it helps to solve is: What are the best times to run flexible assets, like batteries, heat pumps or industry processes?
In a nutshell, FlexMeasures turns data into optimized schedules for flexible assets.
Top Use Cases
- Industry: Shift process running times to minimize balancing costs as well as CO2 & support network congestion
- Built Environment: Optimize heating to satisfy comfort and energy costs (use rooftop solar & dynamic tariffs)
- E-Mobility (optimal charging time to lower bills, including vehicle-to-grid)
The FlexMeasures project is thriving towards sector-coupling, that is, to optimize different flexible energy use together. For example, scheduling both heat pumps and EV charging.
Latest release info
Version v0.12 of FlexMeasures adds a cool re-play feature and support for adding custom scheduling algorithms.
