###  Activation

  

The moment **when your asset adjusts its power up or down** to help balance the grid.



 

 

 

 



###  Activation cost

  

**The possible cost of your asset’s activation** — either to increase or decrease its power.



 

 

 

 



###  Activation price

  

**The €/MWh rate at which you're willing to be activated**. It ensures your activation costs are covered and determines your position in the merit order.



 

 

 

 



###  Activation remuneration

  

**The payment you receive when your asset actually adjusts its power**. It's often in addition to the availability remuneration and covers your activation costs, so your activation doesn’t create a financial loss.



 

 

 

 



###  aFRR

  

Automated Frequency Restoration Reserve is **the electric reserve activated automatically to correct grid imbalances**. Flexcity helps you participate by adjusting your power quickly, several times a day.



 

 

 

 



###  Aggregator of electric flexibility

  

Flexcity is an aggregator of electric flexibility: we **gather various assets to create a Virtual Power Plant and offer that combined power to the Transmission System Operator**. We support the grid by maintaining the balance between consumption and production.



 

 

 

 



###  Availability

  

The times **when your asset is ready to be activated**. It's your asset's availability that makes it a valuable part of the grid's flexibility.



 

 

 

 



###  Availability price

  

**The €/MWh rate at which your flexibility is reserved to be potentially activated**. During biddings, the Transmission System Operator selects the cheapest flexible powers. Flexcity manages your flexibility to offer it at the best price for you.



 

 

 

 



###  Availability remuneration

  

**The payment you receive for offering your flexibility to the market**, even if your asset isn't activated. It’s compensation for being ready when needed.

###  BESS

  

A Battery Energy Storage System is **a large-scale battery that stores electricity and releases it when needed**. The system increases flexibility by helping stabilize the grid, optimize renewable energy use, and unlock new revenue streams.



 

 

 

 



 

 





D



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  Demand Response

  

**The ability of your asset to adjust its consumption**: to decrease when there's a lack of electricity or increase when there's excess. It's your asset's flexibility in action.



 

 

 

 



 

 





E



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  Electric consumption

  

**The amount of energy your asset uses to operate**. If your asset can adjust its consumption, it has flexibility potential.



 

 

 

 



###  Electric flexibility

  

**The capacity of your asset to adjust its energy consumption or production**. Flexcity aggregates this flexibility to support the grid.



 

 

 

 



###  Electric production

  

**The amount of energy an asset produces**. If your asset can adjust its output, it holds flexibility potential.



 

 

 

 



###  Electric reserve

  

**The backup mechanisms Transmission System Operators use to keep the grid balanced.** These reserves pool assets that can be activated when imbalances occur.



 

 

 

 



 

 





F



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  FCR

  

Frequency Containment Reserve **is the first line of defense in grid stability**. This reserve activates automatically when imbalances appear.



 

 

 

 



###  Flexbox

  

**The smart device we install on your site to unlock your asset’s flexibility**. It adapts to your setup and connects you to Flexcity’s services.



 

 

 

 



 

 





I



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  Imbalance

  

**The gap between electricity production and consumption on the grid**. This can cause strong price swings, which Flexcity helps you benefit from.



 

 

 

 



 

 





M



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  Merit Order

  

**The system where the Transmission System Operator selects the cheapest flexible capacities first** to ensure cost-efficient balancing.



 

 

 

 



###  mFRR

  

The Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve is a **manually activated reserve for major imbalances**. Assets are called on a few times per year to adjust their power.



 

 

 

 



 

 





P



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  Prequalification test

  

The test organized by the Transmission System Operator to **confirm your flexibility before entering the market**. Flexcity helps you through every step.



 

 

 

 



 

 





T



 

 

 



 

 

 

 





###  TSO

  

The Transmission System Operator is **responsible for managing a country’s high-voltage electricity grid**. The TSO ensures supply and stability by using reserves and balancing mechanisms.
