ACT2Flex

Description

ACT2Flex delivers a systemic step-change in industrial flexibility and efficiency by introducing the Generic Systemic Flexibility Solution (GSFS), a holistic cyber-physical environment that integrates process redesign, advanced retrofits, AI-driven digital twins, multi-objective optimisation, and advanced control to enable genuine load adaptation to volatile RES supply. The GSFS can be instantiated into Case-Specific Systemic Integrated Solutions (CSSISs), demonstrated in two large-scale pilots: a Titanium Dioxide manufacturer (KRONOS) and a Copper manufacturer (HALCOR).

ACT2Flex couples physical retrofits and decarbonisation technologies with a Flexibility Intelligence Toolbox to orchestrate operations in real time, while introducing novel instruments for performance tracking such as Digital
Flexibility Passports (DFPs) and Flexibility Balanced Scorecards (FBSCs). The project embeds social principles through a Skills, Governance and Human-Centricity Blueprint, ensuring workforce empowerment, job creation, and inclusive governance.
