Advancing the Trading Manager for Building Energy Flexibility

Exciting progress is being made on the Trading Manager service developed within the project, with the task led by PCSS. This system enables the negotiation and management of building energy flexibility, acting as a bridge between the pilot interface and energy market frameworks.

In the latest development phase, we have:

• Implemented a price-reading module
• Further developed the core decision logic
• Started the integration with selected modules from the InterConnect project, including the Knowledge Engine

The Trading Manager plays a key role in:

• Analyzing available flexibility from buildings
• Placing bids on different energy markets
• Determining optimal prices for Local Energy Markets

Based on accepted bids and market activations, the system dynamically optimizes price signals that are sent to other interfaces currently being developed within the BlueBird project, such as the Flexibility Manager.

Next steps: extending integrations and moving toward testing in pilot environments.
