An interactive Online-Platform for Demand Side Management

This project demonstrates a software solution called the DSM Platform Baden-Wurttemberg. The platform is designed to give a transparent overview of the potential flexibility which could be provided by companies and then bought by e.g., a system operator. Companies can identify and enter potentials manually via a web service interface or using a client software in real time. The entered potentials can then be found and visualized by anyone interested. The platform thus enables the identification, implementation and marketing of flexibility potentials. The marketing of flexibility enables companies to develop new sources of income. The increased supply enables energy service providers to reduce electricity prices and grid operators to reduce their investments in grid expansion.
