An electricity aggregator are defined by IRENA as: "Aggregators are a new market player that can optimise the use of distributed energy resources." and "Aggregators are a new market player that can optimise the use of distributed energy resources."[1]
In EU the term "aggregator" was introduced with EU-directive 2019/944 on common rules for the internal market for electricity.[2] The aggregator is a actor that combines small resources and aggregate their inherent flexibility so that the combined aggregated flexibility is big enough to us for explicit flexibility, such as the ancillary services. The aggregated resources can also be used to facilitate implicit flexibility, for example to optimize the connected resources according to the day ahead-price.[3]
