Network Planning and Decision-Making under Uncertainty – Discussion Paper and Policy Brief

Recognizing the pivotal role of electrical grids in achieving net-zero emissions and addressing a wide spectrum of ecological, social, and economic aspects of sustainable development, ISGAN Working Group 6 joined forces with the ISGAN Communication Working Group, to spearhead a collaborative knowledge sharing project (KSP) on Network Planning and Decision-Making under Uncertainty.

Taxonomy to Quantify Flexibility Potential

To make net zero technically and economically feasible, the future power system will need to capture flexibility from various resources (i.e., generation, storage, and loads) across various segments of the power system (i.e., generation, transmission, distribution, and end-use loads). The uptake of digitalization, the adoption of distributed energy resources and the push for cross-sectoral electrification is transforming traditional grid operation; resources with flexibility potential in distribution grids can be a key solution to support grid reliability, resiliency, and optimized system utilization via flexibility markets.

How can Aggregators Improve the TSO-DSO-Customer Coordination in Digitalised Power Systems? – Discussion Paper and Policy Brief

Utilizing untapped Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) potential from customers in the distribution grid necessitates TSO-DSO-Customer coordination. Customers still face challenges how to manage and market their flexibility in the energy market and how they can become active customers. Aggregators can facilitate these flexibilities as an intermediary by providing services to different power systems participants.
