FlexShape Aggregator-as-a-Service

October 24, 2019

FlexShape Aggregator-as-a-Service (AaaS) is a powerful energy system integration and application platform. It provides its users (e.g., prosumers, aggregators, energy community operators) an access to a wide-range of smart-energy applications (APPs). These APPs primarily target energy communities and allow its members, among other things, monitoring, managing, and optimizing (potentially) large collections of physical systems and using them for flexibility trading, self-consumption, RES utilization, and cost and CO2 reduction. For this, AaaS offers a wide range of connectors towards popular IoT solutions (e.g., Azure IoT Hub, OpenHab, TP-Link cloud), data sources and sinks (e.g., NordPool open data), other FlexShape tools (including FlexShape Solar Predictor, Battery MPC Controller, Energy Planner) as well as a pre-defined library of Artificial Intelligence (AI) components for energy management, forecasting, and optimization.
