Intelligent Energy Systems and Flexible Markets

At the iGRIDS Research Group at AAU Energy, we are passionate about building the energy systems of the future. As the world moves toward cleaner and more sustainable energy, we develop smart solutions that bring together electricity, heating, cooling, storage, and emerging energy technologies into flexible and interconnected energy ecosystems.

Our research focuses on helping renewable energy, flexible demand, energy storage, and active distribution networks work together more efficiently and reliably. By combining advanced analytics, digital technologies, and innovative market designs, we create practical solutions that support the green transition while delivering value for consumers, businesses, and society.

Working closely with industry partners, utilities, policymakers, and international collaborators, we tackle real-world energy challenges and explore new ways to unlock flexibility, integrate renewable resources, and develop sustainable business models.

Our goal is simple: to make future energy systems smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable for everyone.

How the research group - Intelligent Energy Systems and Flexible Markets is linked to AAU Energy missions

The research group within Intelligent Energy Systems and Flexible Markets contributes to the mission on Electrification and Integration by looking into the future smart and integrated multi-energy systems where an efficient sector coupling can be achieved through: electrification of the thermal sector applying electrical boilers and heat-pumps; electrification of the transport sector by looking into charging facilities; application of multi-energy storage facilities (electrical, thermal and gas); and active control of large electrical loads (in industry, water sector, heat sector, gas sector) for gaining flexibility in the integrated energy system. Further, the research group contributes to the mission on Digital Transformation and AI because of huge measuring and data handling needs for ensuring forecasts, state estimation, and optimization of the energy systems to be able to control the energy systems and act on the energy markets.

This research group is aligned with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals.
