Introduction Industrial flexibility has emerged as a decisive criterion for success in today's dynamic business environment. The imperative for flexibility stems from multiple converging factors that industrial companies must navigate: Key Drivers of Industrial Flexibility (i) Market Volatility: Product demand has become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, requiring production systems that can rapidly adapt to changing market conditions. (ii) Resource Fluctuations: Critical resources including raw materials, energy, and labor are subject to significant variations in both availability and pricing, necessitating flexible operational strategies. (iii) Process Adaptability: Industrial operations must accommodate both planned and unexpected changes in process requirements, maintaining operational continuity across diverse scenarios. (iv) Competitive Advantage: Adaptable production systems can substantially enhance competitiveness by enabling faster response times and more efficient resource utilization. Scope and Applications Industrial flexibility extends far beyond electrical systems to encompass multiple operational domains: • Thermal energy management • Materials handling and procurement • Process operations optimization • Logistics and supply chain coordination This comprehensive approach recognizes that true industrial flexibility requires integration across all aspects of industrial operations. Document Purpose and Structure This document serves as a practical guide for industry stakeholders and other participants in the industrial transformation process, providing actionable insights into implementing industrial flexibility strategies. Focus Area: While industrial flexibility encompasses multiple domains, this guideline concentrates specifically on industrial flexibility for power systems, including electric markets and grid integration. Document Organization: • Section 2: Overview of steps and measures for realizing industrial flexibility integration in power systems • Sections 3-6: Detailed examination of the implementation measures introduced in Section 2 • Section 7: Future developments and their impact on industrial flexibility potential, with concluding remarks • Appendix: Additional resources, including current funding opportunities for supporting measures This structured approach ensures readers can systematically understand and implement industrial flexibility solutions tailored to their specific power system requirements. In the following an overview about the current utilization and exploitation of industrial flexibility in Austria is given: Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 5/25 Industrial flexibility in power systems – Status Quo Currently, only a limited number of industrial facilities actively leverage their flexibility potential within the power system, with the majority concentrated in energy-intensive sectors. The primary incentive for these early adopters is economic necessity: energy costs constitute a substantial portion of their total operational expenses, creating powerful financial incentives for optimization. These pioneering facilities typically feature sophisticated energy systems, including large-scale auto generation plants for on-site power or combined power and heat production and/or power-to-heat boilers. This infrastructure typically enables switching between energy sources. Furthermore, if available temporary energy storage might further allow companies to capitalize on price fluctuations while optimizing energy expenditure. Pioneer locations demonstrate exceptional commitment to optimal energy supply through several key practices. Advanced energy supply planning systems enable proactive consumption management, while active engagement in spot markets and balancing energy markets allows these companies to exploit price variations and generate additional revenue streams. Furthermore, high-level automation facilitates rapid, precise adjustments to energy usage based on real-time market conditions, ensuring these organizations can respond dynamically to changing energy market signals. In contrast to these flexibility pioneers, numerous companies possess significant yet unrealized flexibility potential, representing a substantial market opportunity. These organizations are predominantly small and medium-sized enterprises across various industrial sectors. A defining characteristic of these companies is their historically low energy cost ratios relative to total production costs. This economic structure explains why energy flexibility has remained a low priority—the financial incentives for optimization appeared insufficient to warrant investment. Energy supply strategies at these facilities often lack optimization. While many possess time-resolved energy consumption monitoring systems, they continue operating under fixed tariffs, remaining insulated from energy market price fluctuations that could drive flexibility value. These companies frequently operate with minimal automation and basic control structures, creating technical barriers to implementing responsive energy management strategies that could react to price signals. Unlike their pioneering counterparts who employ strategic energy supply planning, these organizations typically manage energy reactively without long-term strategic frameworks. These characteristics illuminate both why substantial industrial flexibility potential remains dormant and where intervention opportunities exist. The pathway to broader flexibility adoption requires targeted approaches across multiple dimensions. Demonstrating the financial benefits of flexibility strategies through concrete business cases and return-on-investment analyses can raise economic awareness among potential adopters. Transitioning from fixed to variable tariffs that expose companies to market price signals creates natural incentives for flexible behavior. Additionally, enhancing automation capabilities and control systems enables responsive energy management, while building organizational competencies in strategic energy supply planning and market participation develops the necessary skills for successful implementation. By addressing these fundamental barriers, the industrial sector can unlock significant flexibility potential, contributing to both individual company competitiveness and broader power system stability.

Recommended process and success factors for exploiting industrial flexibility The following visualization provides an overview of the relevant tasks that industrial plants, which are not yet exploiting their flexibility potential in the power grid, would have to take on. The following, mainly non-technical aspects are decisive factors in overcoming challenges and exploiting opportunities through the use of industrial flexibility: (i) identify the right person(s) in the respective industrial site – industrial transformation projects such as optimizing energy consumption and exploiting flexibility benefit greatly from internal drivers with the respective resources (knowledge, time, effort and finance) (ii) establish good communication within the whole team involved in the process (iii) include the relevant stakeholders, e.g. suppliers of components and process control systems, system operators, etc., who are involved in this project, early in the process already (iv) a high level of automation of the plant (or the respective subsystem) already at the project start helps to realize the project. If it is not ready by then a quick integration is indispensable. Figure 1 – Pathway towards exploitation of industrial flexibility In order to exploit flexibility, a set of crucial success factors could be identified within the project Industry4Redispatch and is described in the following. Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 7/25 STEP 1 First, decision makers and technical experts from industrial sites need to understand the different options they have to exploit flexibility in the power system. These options can be for instance: (i) optimal operation of the on-site system to increase self-usage of local potentials (ii) exploitation of cost fluctuations in short term markets (e.g. day-ahead or intraday markets) (iii) providing system services, e.g. in balancing power markets. Furthermore, understanding the potential of different flexibility sources is of high relevance to further proceed. Thus, building up a comprehensive knowledge base and increasing awareness is the first essential step towards the exploitation of industrial flexibility in power systems. Insights are presented in Section 3. STEP 2 Second, analysing the candidates for providing flexibility (e.g., a unit or the overall system of the industrial site) is important. A quick first assessment can show if promising flexibility potentials are present. This can be understood as estimation of the theoretical potential. In a more detailed assessment, the different prerequisites are checked and deeper insights for the identified prime candidates must be gathered, comparable to assessing the technical potential of flexibility. Details are shown in Section 4. To understand the economic potential, a promising approach is modelling of the respective system (overall factory or parts of it) and evaluating the economic performance for a wide range of parameters in simulation studies. The benefits or cost reduction potential of flexibility exploitation can then be related to necessary investments. STEP 3-5 For all of the former three steps a decision is made whether to proceed or not (Stop-or-Go-Decision). However, after a Go Decision for the former step (modelling and simulation studies) typically the implementation begins. Crucial factors here are, for instance, the creation of a suitable operator interface (human-machine-interface), but also the definition and implementation of technical interfaces, e.g. automation of the flexibility usage into existing process control systems. Insights into success factors for implementation of industrial flexibility usage in the power system are summarized in Section 0. After a successful implementation phase the evaluation, utilization, exploitation and monetization can start. Figure 2 – Relevant steps for industrial sites to implement industrial flexibility usage A development path for utilizing and exploiting industrial flexibility is illustrated above and typically comprises the following five progressive stages: Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 8/25 (i) The process characteristically commences with the fundamental step of "Understanding and analyzing energy consumption (particularly electricity)," where companies initially cultivate awareness of their consumption patterns and energy usage profiles. (ii) This foundation enables the subsequent phase of "Forecasting energy consumption (particularly electricity)," during which companies develop predictive capabilities for their energy requirements. These initial two stages establish the essential groundwork for all subsequent optimization measures. (iii) The third stage focuses on "Scheduling and predictive control for optimal process supply." This phase introduces sophisticated tools and methodologies including mathematical optimization algorithms, comprehensive energy management systems, and advanced automation technologies as critical enablers. During this phase, production processes and energy supply systems are actively managed and controlled to achieve optimal energy utilization efficiency. (iv) The fourth stage expands the operational scope to "Leveraging flexibility within facilities and in spot markets," whereby companies begin to monetize and capitalize on the flexibility capabilities they have developed through strategic market participation. (v) The development path ultimately culminates in "Deploying flexibility for system services," representing the highest maturity level where companies can actively contribute to grid stability and provide valuable ancillary services to the broader power system infrastructure. Typically, stages 1-4 offer substantial potential to enhance the energy efficiency of industrial operations through comprehensive analysis, detailed assessment, and optimized operational strategies. However, the final stage (flexibility for system services) characteristically results in a compromise of energy or cost efficiency at the industrial facility, as it necessitates operating under conditions that deviate from the previously optimized production schedules. The resulting reduction in cost efficiency is subsequently compensated through additional revenue streams generated from providing flexibility services to the power system. This developmental progression represents a maturity pathway that transforms companies from passive energy consumers to active participants in the broader energy ecosystem, particularly within the power system infrastructure. The journey enables organizations to evolve from simply utilizing their inherent energy flexibility for internal optimization to strategically contributing to grid stability and system-wide energy management objectives.

Exploitation options for industrial flexibility A detailed overview of industrial flexibility exploitation options and potential use cases is shown in Deliverable 3.1 of the Industry4Redispatch project: Current and new business models of industrial customers as grid service providers and their associated incentives 1 . The following descriptions are derived from Deliverable 3.1. In the following the most relevant options are shortly presented: 1 Hemm, R., Esterl, T., Brunner, H., Henein, S., Monsberger, C., Wimmeder, S., Seitzhanova, G., Herndler, B., Knöttner, S., Glatt, A., Hembach, F., Sequeira-Taxer, V., & NEFI New Energy for Industry. (2025). Industry4Redispatch Deliverable 3.1 – Current and New Business Models of Industrial Customers as Grid Service Providers and Their Associated Incentives. NEFI. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14628519 Spot markets Trading on spot markets typically happens before the actual delivery, from D-1 on the Day-Ahead market until several minutes before delivery on Intraday markets. The Day-Ahead market enables trading of electricity with a lead time of around one day before physical delivery. The market participants can submit their bids and offers based on most recent generation and demand forecasts for their respective generation fleet or demand units. The Day-Ahead energy exchange is conducted on the two main power exchanges: EPEX Spot, located in Paris and Energy Exchange Austria (EXAA), located in Vienna. The minimum tradable energy volume is 0.1 MWh and the minimum price increment is 0.01 €/MWh. The Intraday market is conducted after the Day-Ahead market. It allows the market participants to react to schedule deviations or to manage unforeseen events, for example, power plant outages. The volume of products sold on the intraday market have increased in the past years, due to the growing share of renewables, variable production and variable loads. Active consumers can bid directly on this market (directly or via aggregators). This allows for the possibility to gain more short-term flexibility and additional revenue. The European power exchange EPEX Spot acts as the Nominated Electricity Market Operator for the Austrian control area and enables its market participants to trade intraday products across bidding zones via the European Cross-Border Intraday Solution. The price determination is carried out via continuous trading or auctions. The products available for the Austrian market are quarter hours, single hours and user-defined blocks. Generally, prices for the same products differ on the intraday and Day-Ahead markets, for example the price difference for single hour products on the Day-Ahead and intraday markets. While single hour products on the intraday market are procured via continuous trading and the price is determined based on the “Pay-as-bid” principle, the single hour product on the DayAhead market is procured on the auction, based on the market clearing price. Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 16/25 5. Modeling and Simulation Studies A next step allowing a better assessment and estimation of the actual potential on different markets and for different exploitation options would be setting up a simulation model of the (sub)system to be analyzed. Suitable approaches are e.g. mathematical programming models 3 such as mixed-integer linear programming models, which are simplified representations of actual units and components of the system capable of including dynamic constraints e.g. for unit behavior such as minimum operation points, efficiencies, ramping, etc. Also, combinations of mathematical programming and physical simulation models, which might offer a more detailed modeling of the actual conditions, can offer valuable insights during this task. To model such systems, not only qualitative descriptions of the system and parameters of the respective units but also time series data of process demands to be fulfilled are required. Ideally, the modelling takes already into account what measured data is available and what controlled variables are in order to make a practice-oriented evaluation. Bottlenecks in terms of data availability and interfaces for subsequent implementation can also be identified in this step. Relevant tasks – to determine especially an economic potential of flexibilizing the site – are: (i) Calculation of a reference scenario representing the status quo as comparison base (ii) Calculation of scenarios with optimized operation on spot markets (iii) Calculation of scenarios for further flexibility services, e.g. balancing markets or redispatch (iv) Scenario calculation for different price forecasts This step is typically rather resource intensive. On the one hand, the data preparation, data processing, modeling and performing simulation studies requires knowledge and temporal effort. This task could be outsourced. However, in this case the temporal effort could partly be replaced by monetary resources. Furthermore, especially scenarios for future price forecasts often need to be bought from specialists. This requires additional monetary resources. For reliable assessments to be conducted, appropriate models must be developed and implemented. Alternatively, rough estimations can be employed with associated inaccuracies being acknowledged and incorporated into the evaluation process. Within this task, several additional benefits of the flexibilization beside cost reduction or additional incomes could also be determined and quantified. Examples for such additional benefits are reduced starts and stops of units, less usage of primary energy, faster production due to optimal energy supply, improved quality due to more precise compliance with limit values (e.g. temperatures), etc. 3 Mathematical programming models in energy system modeling are optimization frameworks that use mathematical equations, objective functions, and constraints to determine optimal decisions for energy system operations, planning, or design. These models typically employ techniques such as linear programming, mixed-integer programming, or nonlinear programming to minimize costs, maximize efficiency, or optimize other performance criteria while satisfying technical, economic, and operational constraints. Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 17/25 6. Implementation Only if the previous assessment tasks for theoretical, technical and economic potential of flexibilization had a positive outcome, the actual implementation is undertaken. In this step, the following aspects need to be considered carefully to ensure efficient implementation. Therefore, some of these aspects are ideally addressed and prepared in advance of the actual implementation. Questionaire as checklist for Implementation  Human Machine Interface o Who are relevant users working with the respective unit and interface (e.g. energy manager, plant operator, etc.) o What information should be available for which user? o What (digital) information is required to realize flexibilization o Is this information digitally available? o How can it be provided?  What units are impacted by flexibilization? o Is the adapted operation (e.g. storage management) inline with technology supplier operation limits? o Is there still a manufacturer's warranty for the system in question and does it remain valid with adapted control systems? o What are the interfaces of the unit (measured variables vs. controlled variables)? o Is further measured data necessary and available in required quality and resolution?  How can measured data be accessed?  How are the single elements of realizing flexibility managed in the daily operation? These elements typically include information such as: o Measured data o Optimized operation o Realized control variables o If relevant: transferring derived flexibility bids to a flexibility service provider or any other platform and receiving the information about bid acceptance  Which actuators and sensors are available and integrated fully in the automation and process control system? - Which are not but need to be for flexibility implementation?  Are the communication channels with external stakeholders established? o Grid operators o Flexibility service providers and/or aggregators o Energy supply company o Etc. Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Industry4Redispatch (I4RD) Deliverable 10.2 18/25 7. Outlook and Conclusion Work in the project Industry4Redispatch revealed promising pathways for industrial companies to adopt flexibility and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Also, it was elaborated how optimization-based tools can support this process. Opportunities arising through flexibilization are e.g. the fact that automatization of energy supply and control can uncover untapped potentials. It can be understood as baseline to increase process understanding and awareness, lead to increased efficiency and unlock new business options such as participating in energy markets. Furthermore, synergies with reporting activities might be realized due to more exhaustive data collection and advanced data handling. Additional non-monetary benefits could be higher product quality, better unit performance or unit conservation, e.g. through reduced starts and stops of a unit. For future developments several interesting aspects can be discussed. First, Flexibility as a service represents a potential new business model evolution that could lower barriers to entry, allowing companies to access flexibility markets even without significant in-house expertise. Electrification as significant decarbonization measure for a wide range of industrial activities will offer new flexibility potential, particularly through integration of electrified kilns, electric boilers or heat pumps. Furthermore, new potentials might arise through refrigerated transport fleets and electric vehicle fleets owned by industrial enterprises. These mobile storage systems could participate in grid services when not actively in transport use. However, the ongoing energy transformation introduces not only opportunities but also challenges. As conventional (fossil fired) natural gas-fired boilers, turbines, and CHP plants are gradually phased out in favor of electrified heat generation, many traditional flexibility potentials will disappear while new ones emerge. This development brings additional complexities, particularly in batch production processes transferring to electrified methods, requiring new approaches to flexibility management. Retrofitting existing infrastructure presents another opportunity, though challenges with respect to warranties and performance guarantees must be addressed to make this approach more efficient. Industrial heat pumps face an interesting optimization challenge, balancing the preference for constant operation against fluctuating waste heat availability and demand patterns. Meanwhile, deeper collaboration with equipment manufacturers to optimize ramping sequences, start-up procedures, and operating parameters could unlock additional potential and significantly increase cost savings. A non-exhaustive list of potential future steps for different stakeholders (research, industry, consultants, technology suppliers, etc.) in this field are: (i) Improved forecasts and realizing better compliance with the calculated operating schedules (ii) Fast and easy assessment tools for industrial flexibility to reduce the temporal and monetary effort for the task modeling and simulation studies. A challenge therein is the heterogeneity of industrial sites, which typically requires specific models and assessments for every single site. (iii) Realize easy integration of suitable exploitation options with low burdens suitable for the respective site (e.g. industrial redispatch provision might not be realizable for all industrial sites due to challenging pre-requisites) (iv) Assessing and realizing flexibility in commercial sites (v) Facilitate implementation and overcome burdens such as risking warranty reduction by ensuring compliance for determined operating strategies from higher-level control concepts. Particularly in the case of interventions by higher-level control concepts, liability issues often arise with the manufacturers of the individual components in the system in the case of existing installations and complex systems. Here, collaboration regarding the required interfaces of technology suppliers, automation experts and industrial sites, shows potential for further improvement.
