*4.7. Characterization of the Validated Energy Flexibility Measures*

The characterization of an EFM intends to define its scope. For this purpose, several groups of parameters, referred to as dimensions, have been defined that constitute the EFM characterization framework. The goal of this framework is to standardize the description of EFMs, facilitating their evaluation, modelling, implementation and management.

The proposed characterization framework consists of four different dimensions: functional dimension, performance dimension, temporal dimension and economic dimension. The parameters that constitute each dimension are explained in the following sub-sections.
