Abstract:
In this webinar, we explore research and practical insights related to demand-side flexibility, bringing together findings that address the technical, behavioral, and community-driven aspects of energy management. From individual demand response strategies to the deployment of algorithms for holistically managing several energy resources, we discuss how consumers and communities can minimize energy acquisition costs while maintaining comfort and aligning with the willingness to adopt innovative solutions which are tailored to specific needs and preferences. Join us to explore how decision-making algorithms, community engagement, and consumer empowerment are shaping a smarter, greener energy future. This webinar offers a chance to learn from recent research and practical examples, highlighting strategies that can support positive changes in energy systems.
