Brief description of the technology solution and the added value it provides <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Electric power demand is estimated to increase at an average annual rate of 2.4% until 2020, evolution above the expected for the set of energies to  the end user  and GDP. A researchers  team of the GEDIRCI group from the ETSIT-UPM has developed a method and system for coordinating distributed consumption in electrical networks in order to smooth the aggregate consumption curve of the power grid, reducing the difference between its peaks and valleys. This coordination is done in a distributed and self-organized way without explicit communication between electrical installations, neither a control center nor a centralized agent, only using the grid aggregate consumption information or similar. CoGrid reduces the electrical infrastructure oversizing, enhances the profitability of investments in the electrical system, increases security and robustness and improves the integration of new technologies such as renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Description of the technological base<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This solution is a method of coordinating consumption in electricity grids that aims to smooth the aggregate consumption curve of the power grid, reducing the difference between its peaks and valleys.<\/p>\n

This coordination is done in a distributed and self-organized way without explicit communication between electrical installations, neither a control center nor a centralized agent, only using the grid aggregate consumption information or similar. This way, electrical installations where CoGrid is implemented will have their demand planned and regulated to increase its energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
