Flexibility Management Platform, cyberGrid
CyberGrid is a cloud-based technology that integrates and monetizes distributed energy resources for a secure and clean power grid.
The customer can use CyberGrid to manage their assets and provide flexibility to Ancillary Services (aFRR, mFRR), Intraday and Day-Ahead markets.
Such assets are typically Commercial and Industrial loads (C&I), distributed (DG) and renewable energy generation plants (RES), and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
The platform can be used by network operators, retailers, and implemented in energy communities and smart city solutions, among others.
CyberGrid includes a state-of-the-art VPP system for trading of flexibilities on ancillary service markets, real-time control of flexibility assets and ex-post accounting of resource performance.
CyberGrid is based on microservice architecture enhancing scalability and stability of the software system and supporting the implementation of interfaces to third-party systems. It can be hosted in a cloud environment or on premises, minimizing the operational workload for the aggregator.
An award-winning technology
CyberGrid’s Flexibility Platform CyberGrid was the winner of the 2019 Power Network Innovation Award, hosted by E.DSO and ENTSO-E. The CyberGrid ICT platform was named one of the most innovative and relevant technical solutions for Europe’s future power networks: it was chosen above more than thirty other applications.
