Enabling Interoperable Flexibility and Standardized Grid Support Services

This paper presents how the InterConnect project is enhancing the relationship between smart buildings, energy communities and grids, enabling the potential of interoperable flexibility mechanisms and the offer of new energy and non-energy services. Within this framework DSO will leverage its role of neutral market facilitator acting as key enabler for new business models. The paper presents the first technical definition of the DSO Interface of the H2020 InterConnect project that will ensure interoperable integration of flexibility services between DSOs and the different market parties to support the grid operation towards an increasingly decentralized, digitalized and decarbonized electric system.
