Innovative digital solutions that enable local energy communities to provide flexibility services to the DSO: the Avacon approach

The Platone Open Framework is a flexible, secure solution that enables distribution grid flexibility/congestion management mechanisms, through innovative energy market models involving all the possible actors at many levels. The Framework is tested in different field trials one of which is developed in the northwest region of the Lower Saxony, by Avacon. This paper describes the system architecture tested in the German demo site, highlighting the added value of the Open Framework for the DSO in integrating Local Energy Communities and enabling their contribution to grid management.
