FLEdge project introduces a pioneering hierarchical edge-based flexibility management ecosystem at both building and city levels.  

Main objectives of FLEdge project  

The primary goal during project FLEdge is to develop a hierarchical flexibility energy management system based on a distributed and decentralized architecture. At its core is the Edge-Energy Management (EEM) device, ensuring automatic, optimal, and decentralized management of energy flexibility.    

In EEM, energy flexibility will be managed in an automatic, optimal and decentralized manner with the ultimate goal to transform buildings, neighborhoods, districts, and cities to Positive Energy Districts (PED). 

Based on renewable energy generation, storage systems and the real-time electrical loads information gathered from the buildings, this method manages and optimizes the energy resources for the buildings.
