Furthermore, digital transformation is enabling the evolution of traditional<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>power grids into smart grids, allowing bidirectional information exchange through the integration of information and communication technologies. Industrial consumers can contribute to providing the required system flexibility through&nbsp;demand response, adjusting their electricity consumption in response to external signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, coordinating such flexibility offerings requires the seamless integration and interaction of systems operated by different&nbsp;actors. Current integration and interaction solutions are often custom-built, which can lead to vendor lock-in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and high implementation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these challenges, I investigate in this dissertation system integration and interaction solutions that support interoperable information exchanges for industrial demand response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dissertation comprises seven publications, which collectively contribute to both descriptive and prescriptive knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work is structured around three interrelated research directions: system integration, system interaction, and use of exchanged flexibility information. Two publications address system integration through the design of a digital service platform concept to enable and streamline automated industrial demand response.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another two publications focus on system interaction, analyzing existing evaluation approaches for information and data model specifications used in information exchanges, and proposing a novel evaluation method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining three publications explore the use of exchanged information in flexibility service offerings as part of demand response programs. Two of them propose a scheduling tool designed to support participation in implicit demand response programs. The third assesses the effectiveness of the design of integrated European balancing markets and their associated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>platforms, as components of explicit demand response programs, in promoting industrial demand response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this thesis provides a foundation for designing interoperable system integration and interaction solutions that enable industrial demand response, offering conceptual architectures and evaluation methods.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n\n\n<ul
