Sector coupling flexibilities

[DuneSe]

How to cover Sector-coupled flexibility: where one flexibility causes another one - electricity/heat?

[martinvodnik]

Below, we (Offset Energy) present a proposal for the extension of the FO sector coupling. The extended FO proposal follows the same concepts as the original FO—new energy vectors are introduced as time series, with information on flexible energies and their prices.

Coupling Information:

• Correlations between the energy vectors/sectors are not provided in the proposed FO message. However, they can be easily included within the objects (alongside the energy flexibilities and prices) if needed.
• Is this relevant information to include in the FO message? Yes, for Energy Management Systems and asset controllers, but higher-level systems may prefer energy directly (since additional computational work is needed to calculate energy based on correlations).
