Towards a reference architecture for cloud-based flexibility services in the electricity domain

The H2020 project INVADE has addressed optimal activation of the different flexibility services using the cloud-based solution in the electricity domain. The results have been tested full-scale at different sites around Europe. Both business aspects and technical issues have been addressed. To provide effective instruments for practice sharing, collaboration and communication, sound reference architectures should be established. This study deliberates on the findings from H2020 INVADE and proposes a way to expand existing frameworks for Smart Grids.
