Imagine with DEG
Note: This is an indicative, not exhaustive list of real-world applications that can be enabled by the Digital Energy Grid.
Smart grid resilience: Enhancing demand response programs

- Dynamic Demand Response: Paul, a city grid operator, uses Flex, a platform that connects EVs, batteries, and appliances, creating a real-time capacity market to stabilize the grid during peak summer demands.
- Consumer Participation: Emma, a consumer, receives a notification via TapPay to slightly adjust her cooling settings, earning a rebate, while contributing to grid stability.
- Data-Driven Improvements: Aggregated insights from the program help Paul optimize future demand-response strategies, ensuring an efficient and resilient energy grid.
Cloud energy storage: Unifying distributed assets

- Optimized Demand Management: GreenGrid accesses a network of distributed storage assets, including residential and community batteries, to address evening peak demand without costly investments in grid-scale storage.
- User contribution: Homeowners like Sophia use platforms like PowerLink to lease their battery’s unused capacity, earning usage fees while maintaining essential energy needs.
- Mutual Benefits: GreenGrid reduces capital expenses and manages demand efficiently, while battery owners monetize idle storage, fostering a collaborative and cost-effective energy ecosystem.

Carbon trading innovation: DEG can enable a global carbon marketplace

- Effortless Compliance: Sophia, an environmental officer, uses DEG's platform to purchase verified carbon credits, helping her company meet EU carbon reduction targets.
- Transparent and Verifiable Transactions: Amit’s solar farm leverages DEG's network to tokenize its emissions savings, ensuring each carbon credit has traceable and credible provenance for global trade.
- Shared Advantages: Sophia offsets her company’s emissions seamlessly, while Amit gains financial support for his solar project, fostering renewable energy adoption and sustainability across regions.
Frictionless subsidy distribution and effective solarisation through unified systems
- Streamlined Solar Adoption: Mihir’s subsidy, loan, and net-metering applications are unified through the DEG platform, automating eligibility verification, reducing paperwork, and eliminating redundant approvals.
- Seamless Collaboration: DEG enables banks, utilities, and vendors to access shared digital credentials, ensuring transparent subsidy tracking, real-time energy monitoring, and certified installations.
- Empowered Stakeholders: By connecting the ecosystem, DEG simplifies solarization for households, accelerates subsidy disbursal for governments, and builds trust through transparency and reduced administrative overhead.



Vehicle-to-grid innovation: Smart EV charging initiative

- Decentralized Load Balancing: Hans collaborates with grid operators to implement a V2G system, using DEG's unified network to manage EV charging and discharging, reducing grid strain during peak demand.
- Consumer Incentives: EV owners like Thomas contribute to grid stability by discharging stored energy during peak times, earning financial rewards, while others, like Simone, schedule charging during low-cost, renewable energy periods.
- Advancing Carbon Neutrality: Researchers like Irene test innovative V2G technologies through DEG, ensuring seamless integration of EVs into the grid, promoting renewable energy use, and achieving sustainability goals.
Peer-to-peer energy trading: Optimising local energy value through DEG

- Dynamic Energy Marketplace: Maya, a wind turbine owner, sells surplus energy on a DEG-enabled platform, earning more than traditional grid pricing by offering it directly to local consumers.
- Cost-Effective Charging: Sam, an EV owner, uses the platform to buy discounted energy from Maya during overnight hours, saving on charging costs with dynamic pricing.
- Community Resilience: The decentralized system reduces grid congestion, supports local energy balance, and fosters access to affordable, renewable energy within the neighborhood.
