Through review of 109 pieces of literature, The FlexSUS Project brings you a comprehensive overview of barriers to flexibility in the interface between decentralised energy and the electricity system.

This brief :

• defines flexible sector coupling in the interface between district heating/cooling and the electricity system
• provides a taxonomy – a useful checklist for policymakers driving increased flexibility in integrated energy systems
• indicates areas of priority for technologies, decision-levels and project life cycles when addressing barriers.
