SENDER Project Advances to Demonstration Phase with Demand Response Services Integration!

par | Sep 9, 2024

Since April, the SENDER project partners, Hypertech and AIT, have successfully completed the final integration, testing, and fine-tuning of its demand response services. These systems are now fully operational for the project’s critical demonstration phase. This milestone marks a significant step forward in realizing the project’s goals of enhancing energy efficiency and flexibility in households.

Zoom On Demand Response Services Integration

Demand Response Services Integration involves connecting energy consumers to smart systems that adjust electricity usage based on grid signals, such as price fluctuations or renewable energy availability. This real-time control helps balance supply and demand, lowers energy costs for consumers, and improves grid efficiency and sustainability during peak periods.

In parallel with the technical integration, the team has worked closely with pilot partners (WEIZ, VTT and ADEE) to prepare for the demonstration activities, which are now underway at various pilot sites. These demonstrations are tailored to each site’s unique conditions, including the level of end-user engagement and the household’s capacity, such as the availability of flexibility assets and the presence of installed IoT equipment.

The activities also differ based on the specific use case scenarios being evaluated at each pilot building. These scenarios explore various approaches to energy management and demand response, providing valuable insights into how households can adapt to and benefit from smart energy systems.

The flexibility and adaptability of these demonstrations ensure that the SENDER project can gather comprehensive data across a range of real-world conditions, bringing us closer to creating more sustainable and efficient energy solutions for the future.
