Description
Global demand for electricity is set to increase in the coming years, particularly with the growing use of electric vehicles. To avoid consumption peaks, users will need to be more energy-flexible. This article therefore presents an application that aims to help users become more flexible in their energy consumption. To design this application, an initial survey enabled us to identify user profiles. Alongside this, nudges and persuasive techniques were listed that could be used in the application to encourage users to change their behaviour. Several user paths were then designed to adapt the persuasive elements of the application to each user, notably according to their personality traits (Big Five model). Finally, the application, its limitations and prospects are presented.
