The increased flexibility requirement needs a flexibility market at the distribution grid level operated by the distribution system operators (DSOs) to resolve challenges to ensure secure operation and, to integrate new renewable…
To the best of our knowledge, this paper proposes for the first time a design of a continuous local flexibility market that explicitly considers network constraints. Continuous markets are expected to be the most appropriate design option…
This paper investigates sequential flexibility markets consisting of a first market layer for distribution system operators (DSOs) to procure local flexibility to resolve their own needs (e.g., congestion management) followed by a second…
Flexibility is a key enabler for the smart grid, required to facilitate Demand Side Management (DSM) programs, managing electrical consumption to reduce peaks, balance renewable generation and provide ancillary services to the grid.…
Flexibility markets can be introduced as a tool for the distribution system operator (DSO) to avoid high costs and public opposition against new network investments. Continuous flexibility markets have the advantage of allowing more…
The variability caused by the proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the significant growth in unbalanced three-phase loads pose unprecedented challenges to distribution network operations. This paper focuses on how a…
The growing proliferation of microgrids and distributed energy resources in distribution networks has resulted in the development of Distribution Market Operator (DMO). This new entity will facilitate the management of the distributed…
Since the 1990s, widespread introduction of central (wholesale) electricity markets has been seen across multiple continents, driven by the search for efficient operation of the power grid through competition. The increase of renewables has…
For market-based procurement of low voltage (LV) flexibility, DSOs identify the amount of flexibility needed for resolving probable distribution network (DN) voltage and thermal congestion. A framework is required to avoid over or under…
This paper proposes a novel continuous Local Flexibility Market where active power flexibility located in the distribution system can be traded. The market design engages the Market Operator, the Distribution System Operator and Market…
With the development of the smart grid concept and the increasing expansion of advanced communication and measurement equipment, consumers can actively participate in the power system operation. The intelligent use of these facilities…
Due to increased penetration of renewable resources in the distribution grid, the distribution system operator (DSO) faces increased challenges to maintain security and quality of supply. Since, a large proportion of renewables are…
This paper proposes a two-step framework for techno-economic analysis of a demand-side flexibility service in distribution networks. Step one applies optimization-based modelling to propose a generic problem formulation which determines the…
Regarding the pervasive application of information and telecommunication technologies in the power distribution industry, responsive loads (RLs) have been widely employed in the operation of distribution and transmission systems. The…
Renewable energy has attracted significant attention over the last decade, conceivably due to its environmental benefits and the recent drops in the development and deployment cost of the technology. The increase in renewable generation,…
The growing integration of renewable and decentralized generation increases the need for flexibility in distribution systems. This flexibility, typically represented in a PQ capability curve, is constrained by network limits and topology.…
Flexible load at the demand-side has been regarded as an effective measure to cope with volatile distributed renewable generations. To unlock the demand-side flexibility, this paper proposes a peer-to-peer energy sharing mechanism that…
The continuous electrification of the mobility and heating sectors adds much-needed flexibility to the power system. However, flexibility utilization also introduces new challenges to distribution system operators (DSOs), who need…
This paper presents a market-based optimization framework wherein Aggregators can compete for nodal capacity across a distribution feeder and guarantee that allocated flexible capacity cannot cause overloads or congestion. This mechanism,…
The rising share of volatile renewable generation increases the demand for flexibility in the electricity grid. Flexible capacity can be offered by industrial energy systems through participation on either the continuous intraday,…
