Flexibility Exploitation for residential, tertiary and industrial buildings

an ambitious transnational collaboration that aims to accelerate the decarbonization process in Europe by fostering a sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon energy system.

Transforming Energy Flexibility 

for a Zero-Carbon Future

FlexBIT is a collaborative initiative uniting research centers, universities, and industrial partners from Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, and Poland to develop solutions for a cost-effective transition to a zero-carbon energy system, with a strong emphasis on creating a digital platform to efficiently manage flexibility across sectors.

Our Goals

Develop a robust digital platform to enable the seamless integration of 100% renewable energy sources into residential, tertiary, and industrial sectors while maintaining system stability and resilience.

Identify and utilize hidden flexibility potential in energy systems through advanced AI-driven analytics and control algorithms, transforming buildings and energy communities into active participants in the energy market.

Integrate diverse energy storage technologies, such as batteries, hydrogen, thermal storage, and compressed air, to balance supply and demand efficiently and enhance energy self-consumption.

Create a secure and interoperable digital framework for real-time energy management, incorporating AI, blockchain, and digital twins to optimize energy flows and flexibility services across sectors.

Promote economic, social, and environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy equity, and empowering local energy communities through education, transparency, and participation
