GDBN: A Digital Grid Data and Business Network to support the Flexibility-Centric Energy Value Chain

The increasing dependency from digital tools in the energy area in pushing for key digital coordination platforms to control, oversight and coordinate processes, removing adoption barriers and increasing interoperability. This is the case for the energy flexibility value-chain. This ISGAN Virtual Learning webinar, hosted in collaboration with the Horizon Europe project BeFlexible, introduces the Grid Data and Business Network (GDBN), a digital framework designed to support a Flexibility-Centric Value Chain (FCVC) in modern power systems. The session will clarify the evolving role of flexibility business models and explain how value is created, exchanged, and captured across the flexibility value chain. Particular attention will be given to the organisational and digital interactions among system operators, aggregators, market platforms, service providers, and consumers, highlighting how data-driven coordination enables scalable and bankable flexibility services. The webinar will present how the GDBN supports business development and market operation by providing a digital marketplace that matches stakeholders and streamlines flexibility provision processes, including prequalification, negotiation, market clearing, activation, and settlement. The interoperable integration of aggregators and flexibility market platforms will be discussed as a key enabler for cross-platform participation and efficient market access. The session will include a live demonstration of the platform showcasing its main functionalities, architecture, and practical applications within emerging flexibility markets.
