The above picuture displays technological building blocks of the Mirabel nodes that is part of a Balance Group in the energy market. FexOffer messages are exchanged between consumers or producers (Prosumers) with their Balance Responsible Party (BRP). The Prosumers indicate their energy flexibility to the BRP who rewards this with financial incentives.
Depending on the role of the node one or more of the technology modules are used by each Mirabel node. The above picture dsiplays the technologies used by a BRP.
- FlexOffers
allow Prosumers to fully automatically indicate their energy flexibility to their BRP.- Aggregation
groups thousands of similar FlexOffers to manage the large amount of data in a distributed hierachical Energy Data Management System.- Forecasting
is used to predict demand and supply of renewable energies for the upcoming hours and days.- Scheduling
computes to optimal plan to dispatch flexible energy demand and supply to minimize costs for the BRP.- Negotiation
finds the optimal price in real-time that maximizes the financial benefit for the customer and the profit for the BRP.
