Storages are unavoidable components of the future smart grid with large share of variable renewable generation. However, the unit-cost of energy that is retrieved from storages is several times higher than the cost of energy consumed upon its output from RES. Therefore, there is a strong requirement on the optimisation of storage capacities deployed in the grid.

ENFLATE will propose a collaborative platform of tools enabling consumers for energy services, vaporizing their multi-vector flexibility potential, integrating them with other services, like healthcare for elderly people and mobility. These tools will build upon already validated, deployed and demonstrated solutions in relevant environments, and will promote data-driven scenarios for provisioning of flexibility services to the electricity grid, foster the end-use sector coupling as new ‘resource’ for flexibility provision, channel these flexibility through pan-European markets, so that to incentivise citizens as active energy market participants, and target to defer grid upgrades by optimally exploiting multi energy pathways.
