Jan Lehmann Outlines Future of Energy Management Systems and Autonomous Optimization at Kiwigrid GmbH Presentation

Jan Lehmann, Vice President of Product Management at Kiwigrid GmbH, discusses the evolving role of energy management systems in future energy frameworks. Historically focused on self-consumption optimization and minimizing grid dependency, these systems now face challenges due to increased PV and wind installations. Regulatory changes emphasize integrating local optimizations with broader market dynamics through dynamic tariffs and grid restrictions. Lehmann introduces a model for autonomous energy optimization akin to levels in autonomous driving—each stage offers more sophisticated system integration but also greater complexity. At level zero, users manually adjust consumption based on APEC spot prices; however, real benefits emerge from automated processes starting at level one where assets like heat pumps are optimized systematically. Level two incorporates user-specific contracts enhancing transparency while addressing time-variable fees by April 2025. Levels three and four involve incentive-based behaviors transitioning towards direct activation flexibility via aggregators managing decentralized flexibilities within virtual power plants (VPPs). Despite complexities in balancing portfolios or disaggregating needs from an aggregator's perspective being challenging steps forward have been made toward achieving fully integrated solutions essential for sustainable futures leveraging green energies efficiently across communities globally.

Industrial and commercial flexibility is no longer experimental - it is becoming a core part of network operation and market participation. Across Europe, DSOs, transmission system operators (TSOs), aggregators and retailers are moving from isolated pilots to coordinated programs that avoid grid upgrades and deliver real capacity and financial value for all participants.This session focuses on the operational integration of C&I flexibility into routine grid workflows through dispatch, settlement, verification and commercial models. It highlights how flexibility is embedded in daily operations: from automated dispatch and verification tools to new contractual models that reward large energy users for adapting consumption. You will gain insight into replicable approaches for scaling flex portfolios, integrating them into control-room workflows and ensuring fair value-sharing across utilities, service providers and industrial consumers.
