Framework for a flexibility-centric energy and cross-sector value chain, Business Use Cases and KPIs definition

Report describing the framework for the flexibility-centric value chain, description of the business use cases and identification of high-level

DEMO 1 methodological report

This deliverable will provide the summary of the coordination schemes and market designs, the expected benefits to the different stakeholders, description of platforms and tools, and the detailed validation plan. This latter will include the technical specifications of pilots, characteristics of networks & flexibility assets, definition of KPIs, and mapping of uses cases/demo areas.

Value Propositions for market actors

This deliverable will gather all the learnings from the research and consultations to the market's actors involved (DSO, TSO, aggregators and all types of consumers) and define the value propositions the solution should provide answering the pain, gains and jobs to be done by each of the actors under the value proposition canvas framework.

Gender Action Plan

This deliverable will define a specific plan on how to manage gender issues that could appear during the project, both at the consortium level to avoid bias and at demo level to provide an inclusive solution and where diversity is representative.

Regulatory framework for fostering flexibility deployment: roles, responsibility of agents & flexibility mechanism designs

D1.1 presents proposals to address regulatory experimentation gained from pilot projects, establish remuneration schemes that consider the use of flexibility, establish the rules under which the system operators can own certain flexible resources, ensure a level playing field in the use of flexibility resources owned by system operators and third parties, and enable the aggregation of flexible resources.

Outcome of DEMO 1 preparatory activities (HW and SW solutions implemented)

Definition of the HW and SW components/ subsystem prerequisites to address the effective and efficient implementation of the Italian Demo, enabling all the distribution resources to provide flexibility to the electrical system

Customer Engagement Strategies

The deliverable builds on the analysis of T2.1 and T2.2 and describes the customer segments, barriers and enablers and delivers a pathway of concrete actions for initiating the engagement of the different customer groups. The action points should be considered engagement loops rather than finite descriptions, as the strategies will constantly be adjusted to support the delivery of the end goals of the demo activities rather than delivering the activities in themselves.

Services, use cases and requirements

Report presenting the reference architecture for a common data space of interoperable digital platforms and description of services/system use cases (functional and non-functional requirements) for the pilots.

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

This deliverable concerns the Data Management Plan formulated as part of ST9.1. It describes how research data and output are to be handled during the course of the project and provides the necessary steps for communication of the project’s results.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

BeFlexible's website

This deliverable will be the website of the project as main media hub with general information to be used as a meeting place for all stakeholders and as a collaborative space for internal information and document sharing among Project.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

Flexibility Characterization and Customer Engagement Strategy implementation report

Assessment of flexibility resources and identification of necessary data for flexibility characterization and customer engagement strategy definition.
