To make the energy market truly sustainable – green, reliable and afgordable- our system needs more fmexibility. We already utjlize energy fmexibility on a wholesale level, to avoid imbalance and transmission congestjon. Yet we need the fmexibility of prosumers to keep overall system costs low. USEF is an extended market model revolving around localised fmexible energy
- use. It fjts on top of most market models and enables the actjve market
partjcipatjon of all players, new and traditjonal. Addressing the challenges of one integrated system
One integrated smart energy market One common standard with specifjcatjons & rules Many benefjts for all in the system

USEF, a non-commercial partnership, was founded in 2013 to design a scalable solutjon that recognizes the difgerent stakeholders and their role in a coherent and commercially viable smart energy system and to accelerate its development. FOUNDING PARTNERS: We believe that opening up an integral market for fmexibility enables smarter solutjons for energy exchange to the benefjt of all in the system. Plus, we believe that in order to create such a market, we need to work together, along one common standard, joining forces across roles and boundaries.

Open - accessible to all. Flexible - balancing supply & demand in an inclusive system. And safeguards the freedom
- f connectjon,
transactjon and dispatch. We need a strong and coherent answer to the challenges ahead. This requires a market design where all players profjt, playing by the same rules and that is: Traditjonally the supplier has a one-way relatjonship with the consumer. “This is what you have used. Here’s the bill.” For a more sustainable system, USEF recognizes the importance
- f bi-directjonal relatjonships and
enables the interactjon between the prosumer and the traditjonal energy players when it comes to energy fmexibility. By clustering the available fmexibility and ofgering this to the market, the aggregator (intermediary) alleviates pain for all partjes involved. USEF enables the uniform exchange and use

across roles and

USEF is a framework, with roles, responsibilitjes and agreements. And with very clear processes for efgectjve interactjon. The key process of contractjng, planning, validatjon, operatjon & setulement is comparable to the existjng BRP wholesale process. But we also add usage prognoses for the individual consumers.
Demand

Compensatjon The fmexibility market revolves around four basic steps, as part of the known processes:
Capability: When and how stakeholders are informed about the capability to actjvate Intentjon: When and how stakeholders are informed about the intentjon to actjvate Realisatjon: When and how stakeholders are informed about the realisatjon
- f the actjvatjon
(based on measurements)
Compensatjon: When and how stakeholders are compensated (through setulement)

The end result? More sustainable, more efgectjve and thus more profjtable use of the energy infrastructure.

In the contract phase, prosumers defjne the average fmexibility of their energy use in line with their own individual needs and comfort settjngs. The sum of this contracted fmexibility is the startjng point for the aggregator, who will contact the BRP and DSO to inform them about his capability to actjvate fmex. In the plan-phase, the aggregator looks at his portgolio of clients, each with their own individual needs and fmexibility preferences. Every day, he makes a forecast for the next day: how much energy will they need – and how much fmexibility can they ofger? In interactjon with one or more BRPs and the DSO, the ofgered Flex can be utjlized to optjmise portgolios or to ease congestjon. For the day of operatjons, USEF framework prescribes what the interactjon between partjes should look like and how this actual usage and fmexibility delivered can be measured. USEF framework supports the exchange and the setulement of Flex with transparent and unambiguous data.

Ambitjon In 2020 we want to be part of 25%
- f all smart energy
systems in at least 5 difgerent markets. USEF aims to be the de facto standard for smart energy systems. With existjng detailed specifjcatjons and the fjrst real-life pilots in the market, USEF is perhaps the most comprehensive, advanced initjatjve of its kind. Yet we look to expand our cooperatjon because we believe that working together across roles and boundaries is the fastest route to a fair and sustainable market. By gettjng involved with USEF, you can help to shape the future integrated smart energy system. WWW.USEF.ENERGY
