Interflex

Summary

At Strijp-S in Eindhoven we test how local energy storage, flexibility and charging stations can contribute to a stable local energy network and how to meet local demand for local flexibility. We use local flexibility at Strijp-S in Eindhoven to realize optimal charging capacity for electric cars. Solar, local storage and other energy sources are used to charge cars. Also, returning power to the network must be possible. An energy balance system is being developed to create a marketplace for demand and supply. Commercial parties, so-called aggregators, keep balancing demand and supply so that the system is expandable and may benefit the end user.
