TREK focuses on designing and developing innovative techniques and solutions for automated analysis of consumer profiles, as well as, the development of intelligent and automated techniques for real-time balancing of supply and demand of electricity (power optimization balance), while overcoming critical factors that prevent widespread adoption and implementation of demand response strategies (Demand Response - DR).

Role in InteGRIDy:
TREK’s role in the inteGRIDy project is mainly focused on the provision of cutting edge technologies developed by the company for demand flexibility profiling and analysis, towards optimizing the application of demand response schemes in different of building premises. Moreover, TREK will highly contribute and support the deployment of the inteGRIDy demonstration activities in the French pilot and in close collaboration with INNED. Finally, TREK will lead activities for the definition of Key performance indicators reflecting the operation of the distribution grid under various constraints and use case scenarios, which will ultimately contribute to the real-life evaluation of the inteGRIDy results in both small- and large-scale demonstrations .

This project has received funding from the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation programme under the grant agreement No 731268
