  • Upper subplot shows the electricity balance and lower subplot for heat balance

  • Bars in positive direction indicate the supply of commodities

  • Bars in negative direction mean consumption

  • Colors of bars indicate different household devices.

  • Thick black line represents the electrical/heat load

State of charge

  • Upper subplot shows the cumulative energy (electricity) consumption/generation[kWh]

  • Lower subplot for flexibility power and prices

  • Black line represents the cumulative energy consumption/generation [kWh] in the optimal schedule.

  • Red lines mean positive flexibility, while blue lines indicate negative flexibility.

  • Color of flexibility power and price corresponds with the upper subplot
