X-FLEX

X-FLEX project proposes, a set of efficient, cost-effective, integrated solutions, that will facilitate the optimum combination of decentralised flexibility assets, both on the generation (DER) side and on the demand side (V2G, power-to-heat/cold/gas, batteries, demand response), enabling all parties, including final prosumers, to offer their flexibility in the market creating benefits to all the actors in the smart grid value chain.

X-FLEX is unique in its multi-technology, multi-actor approach which, in an increasingly RES-powered grid, will ensure security, resilience and stability for all, even under grid-stressing scenarios such as extreme climate events.

X-FLEX develops 3 complementary products: SERVIFLEX, GRIDFLEX, MARKETFLEX, interoperable under the X-FLEX Platform, offering services to all the energy stakeholders, from network operators (TSO, DSO, microgrid operators) to final consumers/prosumers and flexibility providers, including other intermediate players, such as retailers and aggregators. SERVIFLEX aims at the optimal management of a flexibility service provider’s flexibility sources, GRIDFLEX is the tool for DSOs, targeting at the optimal network operation, ensuring the continuous visibility and control. MARKETFLEX aims at the development of local flexibility markets.

These solutions will be tested in real conditions in 4 pilot sites in 3 EU Member states: Bulgaria, Slovenia and Greece, each pilot having different needs, technologies and socioeconomic approach.
