Flexi: Human-centered AI and Digital Twin powered energy system integration for flexibil-ity markets

FLEXI is an interdisciplinary project towards the clean energy transition (CET). FLEXI aims to:
(1) Involve citizens in CET through modern generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular Large Language Models (LLMs). Citizens are empowered to make informed choices and actively participate in energy management, thus ensuring enhanced forecasting through data-driven reasoning;
(2) Build a federated digital twin (FDT) at the demand side to integrate various energy resources and technologies (variable renewable sources, storage, electric mobility), including user interaction profiles and energy usage patterns. FDTs estimate the overall flexibility potential to provide energy flexibility services; and,
(3) Establish a novel Flexibility-as-a-Service business model that enables resource owners to gain incentives by depositing their energy flexibility (i.e., their ability to provide or absorb energy) in a new market entity – flexibility bank.
