Energy Transitions Podcast: Enabling flexibility with district self-balancing

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Yusuf Latief spoke to Simon Anderson, CEO of The Traxis Group and chair of SmartEn’s Active Buildings and Neighbourhood’s Committee, to find out how district self-balancing will play a critical role in our future energy system.

So what is district self-balancing exactly? District self-balancing is a way of coordinating flexible use of electricity loads, distributed generation and energy storage.

Consumption balancing provides an interesting case study of enabling both energy communities to come online while providing new avenues of flexible congestion management for utilities.

SmartEn will discuss distributed flexibility and the importance of maximising load optimisation during their Smart Energy Summit on 19 April in Brussels. This episode provides context to some of the key topics on the summit's agenda.
