Deep dive into the ‘digitalisation and data’ snake pit is underway… the focus of efforts over the past month has been considering the 3 questions coming from the Member workshop on 15 October.
This took FlexForum to the UK (virtually) and some happy hours working through how digitalisation and data fits into the comprehensive and very coherent approach to flexibility and developing a clean power system by 2030. (Go check out the UKs Clean Power 2030: Action Plan: A new era of clean electricity. Make sure to go where the footnotes take you...).
Structured knowledge sharing. This was a key request at Flex Day and we are working to assist more sharing of flexibility activities, particularly by providing a safe place for members to ask questions, work through issues and develop standard delivery processes.
We are also working out what we can do to
A deep dive into pricing and orchestration mechanisms… was also a key ask at Flex Day. We need a much better understanding of how the cash and physical signals coming from the wholesale market, transmission and distribution operators practically activate flexibility and how these signals and mechanisms will be practically translated into desirable flexible customer propositions.
We think a deep dive is needed to build a better, broader understanding of the pros and cons of the range of pricing and physical mechanisms available to distributors and other flexibility users to coordinate (or orchestrate) flexibility. We are working out how to make this happen.
