Survey on Flexibility Market Implementation and Development

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, alongside growing policy support for decarbonization and decentralized energy systems, has heightened interest in local flexibility markets across Europe. Within the framework of the EU’s Clean Energy Package—particularly Directive (EU) 2019/944 and Regulation (EU) 2019/943—Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are encouraged to explore flexible

Case Studies of Data and Digitalisation as an Enabler for Energy Flexibility

This data and digitalisation case studies collection was prepared by the Energy Systems Catapult UK on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), UK, under the ISGAN Working Group 9 Task on Interoperability. Energy Systems Catapult acts as the UK Alternate Delegate for ISGAN and manages

Integrating Flexible Resources into Distribution Network Planning

This brochure presents the insights gathered as part of the ISGAN WG9 Task, drawn from stakeholder engagements with representatives from Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and Spain. As energy systems undergo rapid transformation due to increasing electrification and the integration of distributed energy resources,

2024 ISGAN Annual Report

The 2024 ISGAN Annual Report presents a detailed account of the network’s achievements and progress over the past year as a vital platform for international collaboration on smart grid innovation and policy development.

Exploring the interaction between power system stakeholders: Insights from Pilot Projects – Discussion Paper

This discussion paper provides insights from global pilot projects on flexibility for coordinated capacity management by TSOs and DSOs. The discussion paper examines key challenges and lessons learned across technical, ICT, market, economic, and regulatory aspects. The study consolidates information gathered from literature reviews, stakeholder surveys, workshops, and expert interviews

Active System Management by DSOs – Discussion Paper

Discussion paper that provide insights into how DSOs can leverage active system management to cost-efficiently and securely manage their grids. These insights stem from a series of interactive workshops held with members of the ISGAN WG6 and other interested parties.

ISGAN Policy Brief on Long-Term Planning of Smart Distribution Grids

To spotlight the importance of low- and medium-voltage grids and their key role in clean energy transitions, ISGAN is publishing a new Policy Brief on Long-Term Planning and Implementation of Smart Distribution Grids.

2023 ISGAN Annual Report

The 2023 Annual Report of ISGAN offers a comprehensive overview of its activities and progress over the past year. With a strong emphasis on collaboration, ISGAN brings together countries from five continents, encompassing both developed and emerging economies. This diverse membership creates a rich environment for sharing knowledge, strategies, and

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

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
