Platform
The operating system for grid flexibility
Simulate, orchestrate, and procure distributed energy flexibility, all from one platform built for grid operators and market parties.
The challenge
Flex is a whole new ballgame for DSOs
Flex contracts and flex assets don't fit the playbook DSOs have used for decades. New asset types, new market dynamics, and new operational complexity demand purpose-built tools.
New asset types
Batteries, EVs, electrolysers, and hybrid systems behave nothing like traditional grid assets, each with unique constraints, ramp rates, and availability windows.
New market dynamics
Flex is traded in fragmented markets with varying products, timeframes, and counterparties. No single view exists to compare, procure, and activate across them.
New operational complexity
Scheduling, dispatching, and settling flex requires real-time coordination between asset owners, aggregators, and grid operators. Far beyond what legacy tools can handle.
DSOs need tools built for the flex era, not retrofitted spreadsheets and manual workflows from the old grid.
Platform overview
Three modules. One connected workflow.
Skoon covers the full flexibility lifecycle, from business case to real-time activation to market procurement.
Simulate
Model flex scenarios, size assets, and calculate business cases with scenario analysis.
Procure
Source, negotiate, and settle flex solutions and contracts through an integrated community.
Orchestrate
Activate and monitor flexibility from distributed assets in real time at asset and station level.
Simulate with Flex Business Case
Make informed investment decisions for distributed energy assets with a sharp focus on DSO and congestion use cases. Model returns, compare scenarios, and de-risk every flexibility investment.
- Energy profile & flex contract simulation
- Asset dimensioning with solver technology
- Scenario analysis & comparison
- Full business case calculation
- DSO-specific congestion modelling
Procure with Flex Procurement Platform
Streamline the end-to-end flow of flexibility procurement, from asset proposals, contract offers to intraday sourcing, connecting DSOs with the flexibility they need.
- Optimised community flow for DSO customers
- Flex solution offer management
- Flex onboarding & management
- Intraday flex sourcing
- Transparent pricing & settlement
Orchestrate with Flex Orchestration Platform
Real-time orchestration of flexibility activations, giving grid operators and market parties full visibility and control over every asset in the portfolio.
- Live insight into flex activations (asset and station level)
- Available flexibility for intraday activation
- Easy connection of market parties (e.g. CSPs)
- Automated dispatch & scheduling
- Performance monitoring & reporting
How it works
From data to deployment in three steps
Simulate
Input grid data, asset specs, and congestion info, then run business case simulations with scenario analysis and revenue stacking.
Procure
Source, negotiate, and settle flex solutions and contracts through an integrated community connecting DSOs with market parties.
Orchestrate
Activate and monitor flexibility in real time, settle contracts automatically, and generate compliance reports.

What platform users say
Trusted by grid operators
"Skoon's platform gave us visibility into flex activations we never had before. The business case tool alone saved us months of analysis work."
Lars de Vries
Head of Grid Services, Regional DSO
"What impressed us most was the speed. From initial analysis to active flex deployment in under 8 weeks. Skoon's team understood our constraints from day one."
Maria Johansson
Director of Energy Transition, Nordic Grid Operator
