GOFLEX at the InnoGrid2020+26.-27.06.17, Brussels, Belgium
Brussels, Belgium: GOFLEX joined the project exhibition at the InnoGrid2020+ to present the GOFLEX project and its community.
The InnoGrid 2020+ is an annual event on innovation in electricity networks hosted jointly by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) and the European Distribution System Operators for Smart Grids (EDSO). Titled 'the network of networks', the conference's 2017 edition focused on the convergence of power grids with transport, telecom and IT. The event targeted experts from EU institutions, regulatory bodies and the academic world. Each year, the InnoGrid2020+ reserves a space for current projects in the area of Smart Energy to present their activities. At the GOFLEX booth, the project and its community website were presented by B.A.U.M. Consult. The GOFLEX team answered questions for instance on how GOFLEX will innovate, integrate and demonstrate existing smart grid technologies enabling cost-effective use of energy flexibility in distribution grids for Distribution System Operators, Balance Responsible Parties, Microgrid Operators and Aggregators at 3 European trial sites. Further, the option for interested parties to join the GOFLEX Community was showcased.
Fruitful discussions on GOFLEX were enabled and new interesting contacts were established.
The project Generalized Operational FLEXibility for Integrating Renewables in the Distribution Grid (GOFLEX) has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 731232.
