A comic about my research by LUVANE. It symbolizes different kinds of devices as batteries, indicating that these devices have inherent energy flexibility to draw power from the grid at different moments in time. This flexibility is the key to match demand with the supply of renewable energy, and hence essential for a sustainable future.
