Abstract

This paper aims to stimulate a discussion on how to create a bridge between the concept of flexibility used in power and energy systems and the flexibility that buildings can offer for providing services to the electrical system. The paper recalls the main concepts and approaches considered in the power systems and multi-energy systems, and summarises some aspects of flexibility in buildings. The overview shows that there is room to strengthen the contacts among the scientists operating in these fields. The common aim is to identify the complementary aspects and provide inputs to enhance the methodologies and models to enable and support an effective energy and ecologic transition.
