Webinar organized by Think Smartgrids and its Scientific Council, in partnership with the French Committee of CIRED and the SEE association.
Flexibility is a key issue to meet the challenge of the energy transition and to integrate a growing share of Intermittent Renewable Energies into the power grid.
The speakers will review the different levers of flexibility for power systems and networks, providing details on technical, economic and pricing aspects, with the short and long term perspectives. They will take stock of their implementation (theory vs. practice) and the stage of industrialization of the different solutions.
