This demonstration will explain and show online generation of flexoffers, i.e. information about the flexibility that a set of devices can offer to a Smart Grid in order to balance consumption and generation of energy. Based on the current market situation and flexoffers collected from a large amount of households and commercial sites, an aggregator can then calculate and offer concrete schedules to the prosumers – represented by flexoffer agents (see figure below).
During the demonstration, flexoffers will be collected and visualized online from a set of heat pumps – located in Denmark. Also, the aggregator operation will be visualized – together with a simulation of a large building as well as a washing machine.
The simulation part of the generation 1 demonstrator will focus on the operation of a commercial building and demonstration of specific scenarios for its participation in the virtual market that will be subsequently deployed in the real environment.
Dynamic model of a building energy system including a chiller plant, boiler plant, thermal storage capability, local renewable generation (wind turbine, microturbine) and a model of three zones is used to demonstrate the manipulation with temperature set points of the HVAC system to temporarily reduce electricity consumption and generate flex-offers.
