Leafs evaluates the effects of increased costumer and energy market driven utilization
of energy storages and load flexibility on power distribution grids. Technologies and
operation strategies are developed that enable optimal use of distribution grid infrastructure
by activating flexibilities using direct or indirect control also by the local grid operator or even
incentives. The consumer benefits from more flexible integration of distributed energy resources
at minimum network reinforcement costs as well as achieving a higher selfconsumption
level for customers operating their own DG-unit.
