The ModFlex research project will develop dynamic models representing the consumption and production profiles for different flexible resources in the smart distribution grid, and address how such resources can be utilized to increase the flexibility in the grid – without introducing new peak load hours due to the rebound effect. Such models can improve today's software for grid planning, which often are evaluating loads as passive.
The main objective of this project is to develop the methodology that increases the grid's capacity to host distributed generation, electric vehicles and other types of demanding new loads.
