Active Demand Energy Services Decomposition

The basic challenge of today's energy system is to increase the flexibility of the network in the context of greater energy demands and the increasing presence of intermittent renewable energy sources. The answer is in advanced networks (Smart Grid) based on an active approach to the demands of end users who can contribute with their energy portfolio to increase system flexibility in real time. To meet the needs of end users and all other participants it is necessary to offer adequate energy services that will meet these needs at an economically acceptable price. Energy services are based on several basic Active Demand products. Successful modelling of energy services, with the implementation of various end user activation strategies, is key to starting an energy market where small and large users, producers and intermediaries will be able to meet their needs and benefit. Each of the services is modelled according to the needs of each participant, and as such, in accordance with the current situation and the available energy resources are offered on the market in real time. To start such a market process, a new participant, Aggregator, is being introduced, who arbitrates in the exchange of energy services at the local and regional energy market.
