Industrial Flexibility Options: Standardized Identification and Evaluation

Abstract:
The economic potential to market electrical flexibility options as a service profitably increases. This is caused by the growing volatility of the grid feed-in due to the larger share of renewable energies. Inflexible industrial companies experience a competitive disadvantage. This publication presents a standardized procedure to plan an efficient flexibilization project. With an introduced process description, all relevant facilities of a company are analyzed and their flexibility potentials evaluated. An overview of all steps to make the electrical demand of a company flexible is given.
