Description of figures

Results of optimization

Energy balance

• Upper subplot shows the electricity balance and lower subplot for heat balance
• Bars in positive direction indicate the supply of commodities, while bars in negative direction mean consumption
• Colors of bars indicate different household deivces.
• Thick black line represents the electrical/heat load

State of charge

• Profiles of State of Charge are shown here as 3 subplots
• Battery: battery system
• EV: electric vehicle
• Heat storage: storage for heat commodity

Results of Flexibility Calculation

Flexibility of battery

• this plot demonstrates the flexibility of battery system
• Upper subplot shows the cumulative energy (electricity) consumption/generation[kWh] and lower subplot for flexibility power and prices
• Black line represents the cumulative energy consumption/generation [kWh] in the optimal schedule
• Red lines mean positive flexibility (more generation/less consumption), while blue lines indicate negative flexibility (less generation/more consumption).
• Color of flexibility power and price corresponds with the upper subplot
• Positve flexibility price means prosumer should get paid by the system operator
• Negative flexibility price means prosumer should pay the system operator
