Local Flexibility Markets (LFM) provide an opportunity for consumers to play a significant role in the operation of the electric grid by reducing or shifting their electricity usage in response to time-based rates or other forms of financial incentives. Demand Response (DR) programs are currently being used by some electric system planners and operators, using mainly the flexibility provided by large industrial facilities connected to the high-voltage grid, as resource options for balancing supply and demand. The new challenge is to unlock the very high potential of the LFMs in the distribution grid where the main sources of flexibility are residential and tertiary buildings, representing 70% of the total DR potential. DE-RISK overcomes these challenges by de-risking the adoption of LFMs to unlock the full DR potential and therefore supporting the market uptake of renewable energy systems.
DE-RISK aims at: Boosting the end-users active participation in the LFMs by deeply understanding their needs and requirements through an innovative behavioural analysis methodology; Deploying the low cost DE-RISK digital twin automated platform to assess, validate and unlock the flexibility potential in 4 highly replicable case studies from different regions of EU as per geographical, climatic and regulatory conditions; Bridging the regulatory gap and roadmapping the LFMs in different regulatory and policy frameworks and market maturity conditions; and Developing and validating innovative sustainable business models and financing mechanisms (crowdfunding/lending, EPC, P2P) to de-risk the upfront investment to ensure a long-term viability and sustainability of the local flexibility markets.
DE-RISK targets supporting the market uptake of renewable energy systems by fostering the adoption of LFMs and unlocking up to 100GW of flexibility in 2030 which will allow a safe and reliable integration of RES in the grid. DE-RISK will achieve this ambitious objective by minimizing the investments and implementation risk through an innovative customer behaviour change journey that will increase end users' trust and willingness to participate in the flexibility markets. DE-RISK integrates building, citizen and grids digital twins in its flexibility platform capable of reducing the gap between simulation and real implementation thus mitigating potential technical risks during deployment and operational phase.
