Unleash the Power of Flexibility with Shapeshifter: A Universal Flex Trading Protocol
summary
Shapeshifter is a concrete protocol (UFTP) now hosted at LF Energy that DSOs use to buy flexibility so they can defer grid reinforcement and manage congestion; implementations include the Fusion project in Scotland and GOPACS in the Netherlands. Messages are XML-based messages with XSDs, a Java library exists and a Python implementation is being contributed. The protocol supports day-ahead and intraday trading, capacity limit contracts, multi-option offers with prices, and end-to-end workflows for activation, measurement, validation and settlement.
