Case studies
Flexible services case studies
It is sometimes hard to conceptualise what the various types of Flexible Services look like. Below you will find potential scenarios demonstrating how Flexibility Providers can make temporary changes to the way they consume, generate, or store electricity when requested by the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). This helps to balance supply and demand on the electricity network to alleviate constraints, ensuring a safe and reliable supply of energy.
Demand reduction
A supermarket is looking to provide Flexible Services through a Secure contract by reducing their energy usage at peak times.
Generation
A dairy farmer is looking to provide Flexible Services through a Dynamic contract by increasing their generation following a fault or unplanned network event.
Energy efficiency
A warehouse is looking to provide Flexible Services through a Sustain contract by reducing their long term energy demand.
