Flexibility

cells4.energy develops and tests energy cells as a new organizational model for regional energy systems. These integrate renewable generation, flexibility, storage, and grid services within a common structure. The goal is to create solutions that are immediately applicable, combine technical, economic, and societal aspects, and can be transferred to other regions.

Load-dependent grid tariffs are considered an essential contribution to achieving energy policy goals. The project anticipates this development, tests load-dependent grid tariffs to determine activatable flexibility potentials of household customers under real operating conditions, investigates aspects of the practical implementation of these future tariff structures by grid operators, and supports the development of a common position of the Austrian grid industry for a feasible and efficient design of future grid tariff structures in Austria.

The project DigIPlat addresses key challenges of the energy transition in the context of increasing decentralization, sector coupling, and digitalization. The focus is on the development of interoperable digital solutions for flexibility platforms that enable the coordinated and efficient use of flexibility within the energy system.
