Abstract

Industrial energy flexibility (DSEF) is the capacity of industrial systems to adapt (increase, reduce or shift) their energy consumption over a specific period based on changes in the energy context. These capabilities acquire an exploitable form as Energy Flexibility Measures (EFMs), meaning conscious and quantifiable actions that carry out a defined change in the operative state in an industrial system. Modern factories usually present a wide variety of available EFMs, that to be implemented and managed effectively demand the transformation of industrial energy grids into DSEF capable smart micro-grids. For this purpose, this paper presents a methodological approach that employs a variation of the Use Case Methodology and the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) to design comprehensive energy flexible Industrial Smart Grid (ISG). The developed ISG-design outlines the necessary physical and virtual elements to incorporate multiple EFMs into Brown- and Greenfield industrial sites. The paper concludes with a summary of the lessons learned during the application of the developed approach in a brownfield automobile manufacturing plant.
