“Through HEDGE-IoT, we’re building smarter bridges between households, aggregators, and grid operators as the Greek demo shows how digital tools can empower consumers to actively participate in energy markets while supporting a more flexible and resilient electricity system”
The Greek demo features a distributed AI-IoT architecture that connects smart meters, IoT-enabled PV systems, and V2G chargers across urban and regional settings.
Edge and cloud platforms are linked via interoperable middleware to ensure secure and real-time data exchanges among aggregators, DSOs, TSOs, and the energy market.
Federated and reinforcement learning models are applied to forecast flexibility, optimize demand response strategies, and enable dynamic participation in local flexibility markets.
The Greek Demo sets out to show how smarter coordination between energy actors—like system operators, aggregators, and households—can lead to a more flexible and responsive grid. Through real-time data sharing and edge-based intelligence, it aims to make local energy systems better equipped to handle demand peaks and grid stress while also helping consumers lower their energy costs.
The demo is expected to increase participation in local flexibility markets, improve the accuracy of consumption and production forecasts, and make data exchange between systems more secure and seamless. Ultimately, success will be reflected in more efficient demand-side management, greater consumer involvement, and a grid that’s better prepared for the challenges of a digital energy future
