The project explores highly decentralised energy futures and addresses the technical, market, and social aspects of the transformation towards a sustainable electricity supply system that makes use of decentralised assets and active participation of energy consumers.
Building on results of recently (or soon to be) concluded EU projects, FEDECOM aims to enable integrated local energy systems through sector coupling and cross-energy vector integration, increasing RES penetration via op...

The project is relevant as it deals with integrated local energy systems and flexibility potential, which are related to DERs, but it does not specifically address non-frequency ancillary services.
The UK's electricity networks are serving millions of people everyday but now are facing a challenging future, with ageing infrastructure but increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). As such, the Office...

The project focuses on the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) application, which aggregates distributed energy resources (DERs) and flexible demands to balance supply and demand in real time. It aims to develop advanced methods in the design of VPP and improve the operational efficiency of power grids for system operators and consumers.
