New research looks at methods used to model flexibility demand response
Ara Ake has commissioned the Flexibility Baselining Research report from the University of Otago to understand which baselining methods are being used in Aotearoa and overseas
The Flexibility Baselining Research report is now live - exploring and reviewing global methods used to model flexibility demand response. In Aotearoa, much of the focus in the flexibility space so far has been on the operational side - setting up systems, integrating Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems, aligning communication protocols, and building collaboration around electrification. But less attention has gone toward how we measure, validate, and reward flexibility performance through baselining.
To help close that gap, Ara Ake commissioned the University of Otago to produce this report, aiming to understand which baselining methods are used here and overseas, and to spark a conversation on how flexibility service providers can prove deliverability and be rewarded for performance.
