Residential Flexibility in the Spotlight: Market Agrees on Urgency, Interoperability Still Lagging
"Interoperability is still lacking in coordinating flexible power demand in and around the home, but its importance is widely endorsed."
That’s the key message from the new report Residential Flexibility – Market Vision on Protocols and Architecture for Smart Energy Management, presented by Jan Pellis and Bart Smakman of Powerfolio.
Commissioned by ElaadNL and the Flexiblepower Alliance Network (FAN), the report dives into how the sector views the coordination of smart devices—charging stations, solar panels, heat pumps, and home batteries—for residential flexibility.
What's next?
FAN and ElaadNL team up again with a follow-up project to accelerate the implementation of the most promising protocols, together with manufacturers of HEMS and the big four energy devices in the home (charging stations, solar panels, heat pumps and home batteries). Stay tuned!

In this Elaad Webtalk Jan Pellis and Bart Smakman (Powerfolio) present the report "Residential Flexibility." This report outlines the market stakeholders' vision on protocols and architecture for flexible electricity demand in and around the home (residential flexibility). This includes managing the electricity demand of charging stations and heat pumps, and coordinating with the electricity generated by solar panels. Residential flexibility is one of the key building blocks for reducing congestion in low-voltage grids and enabling consumers to respond to dynamic energy prices and the phasing out of the net metering scheme.
