Webinar: Testing innovative demand response systems

With ambitious targets set by the EU to significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases, workable strategies for flexible energy use are fast becoming essential. Sim4Blocks is an EU-funded project developing the best way of delivering demand response services to the market while ensuring commercial viability for energy suppliers.

The project’s first webinar takes a close look at the progress being made after two years’ work in adding flexibility to our energy markets through a variety of demand response systems, now being tested at three demo sites. Expert project partners from HFT-Stuttgart, CIMNE, EiFER and Enisyst will be leading discussions on the following topics:

Market modelling – adding flexibility to our energy markets.
Validation methodology of demand response.
Sim4Blocks pilot sites (Germany, Spain, Switzerland) – initial impacts.
Sim4Blocks is strongly focused on energy services in blocks of buildings and the presentations will go into detail about how the project is developing appropriate business models for the energy services at this level and how it has gone about optimising demand response monitoring for future smart building indicators.

Lastly, the webinar will divulge ongoing project results from some of the pilot sites located across the EU, highlighting factors such as use, response and costs of the demonstrations.
