Challenges
With rising demand for electricity, there will be more local capacity problems in the local electricity grids
Local capacity problems are rare – engagement is difficult over time
Low turnover requires very cost effective results
Result
A theoretical solution on how heat pumps can be used to provide local flexibility
A Nobel-price winning algorithm model used to maximise incentives to participate in local flexibility auctions
A solution that can be fully automatised and requires no additional hardware
I’ve managed a project for Energiforsk, in collaboration with Profu and Bengt Dahlgren, where we developed an auction algorithm for local flexibility. The theoretical research provided another tool that grid owners could use to implement a practical solution to manage local grid capacity problems.
