Our project coordinator, Smart Innovation Norway, represented by Christian Kunze, was thrilled to present its work on “Consumer Empowerment for Demand Response Programs” at ISGAN (International Smart Grid Action Network) Webinar focusing on “Aggregator in digitalised power systems,” taking place in March 11th, 2024.

The recent webinar focused on the role of aggregators in power grids, highlighting both technical and non-technical challenges, and sharing insights from pilot projects gathered more 100 participants. It explored how aggregators can enhance the utilization of customers’ distributed energy resources (DER) by coordinating between Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Distribution System Operators (DSOs), and customers.

Despite the promising potential for ancillary services, customers face challenges in managing and marketing their energy flexibility. Aggregators play a crucial role as intermediaries, addressing new challenges in monitoring, control, and coordination within the energy market.
