PILOT TEST
The different services, platforms and architectures used during the BeFlexible project will be demonstrated and validated through 12 pilots to be carried out in 4 different countries (Italy, Sweden, Spain and France) , all of them with different environments, types of consumers, geographic and climatic zones and energy loads.
The different pilots are located in 3 different demos structured by climatic areas (South-Mid EU, North EUand South-West EU) covering EU’s different representative climates.
FOUR CONCEPTUAL BLOCKS
Be Flexible project is built upon 4 conceptual blocks:.
Markets and Regulation analysis and definition of a flexibility framework for new business opportunities
Services ecosystem definition and adaptation offering a broad catalogue of flexibility and cross-sector solutions for end-users
Platforms and architectures implementation, including the design of a Grid Data and Business Network (GDBN) and the definition of the system architecture to ensure full data interoperability
Customer engagement and social co-creation approach to meet consumers’ needs.
