INDEPENDENT

Facilitating adoption of energy flexibility services in buildings and industry.  

INDEPENDENT is developing an integrated software platform for seamless deployment of standard-compliant Customer and Aggregator Energy Management Systems in buildings and industrial facilities. 

The platform leverages advanced hybrid-modelling and neural network technologies to deliver accurate and reliable forecasts of resource loads and available flexibility, together with optimal control solutions. It integrates with legacy automation and metering infrastructures, external data, as well as energy and flexibility markets to perform automated bidding. 

To demonstrate the usability of the platform and its usefulness in terms of cost-efficiency, business gain, and energy optimisation, platform-based systems are developed, tested, and approved by pilot sites in Finland, Slovenia, Germany, and Sweden. These pilot sites involve smart appliance manufacturers, energy service companies, aggregators, and their customers.
