This is Norway’s first "flexibility-ready" store, designed to support the future energy grid and the transition to an electrified society.
The pilot integrates cutting-edge energy technologies into an optimized system capable of utilizing and delivering flexibility—reducing, shifting, producing, and storing electricity through smart interaction between components and controls. By demonstrating an advanced, flexible energy system, this pilot showcases how commercial buildings can play an active role in balancing the grid while maximizing energy efficiency and sustainability.
The Porsgrunn pilot site will implement following solutions.
Improve the IoT platform that monitors the real-time energy and flexibility.
Develop algorithms for cost-effective utilization of available flexibility in a grocery store.
Selling of electricity flexibility to the electricity grid
Use of AI to optimize the energy flow in the store.
