TSO-DSO Coordination: the UK case
With increasing requirements for flexibility in electricity girds, coordination between operators of the transmission and distribution networks becomes increasingly crucial. This paper attempts to to capture the views and insights from experts within the UK on this topic and the UK experience.
Flexibility and its impact on stakeholder interaction
Flexibility within the electrical power system is becoming an increasingly prominent and sought-after solution, which can be utilized by both the Transmission system operator and Distribution system operator to solve/avoid network problems such as network congestion, voltage violations, system balancing etc.
Scoping study for ISGAN Working Group 9
This paper summarises the results of a study conducted at the inception of ISGAN Work Group 9. It seeks to identify gaps in research on flexibility issues, to provide a focus for Working Group 9.
Consumer-Focused Flexibility Fact Sheets
Accessing and optimising demand side flexibility involves understanding and engaging with consumers. Working Group 9 has produced 3 factsheets on this space in Sweden, looking at: (i) metering as an enable for flexibility; (ii) the implementation of independent aggregators; and (iii) dynamic electricity pricing.

2020 ISGAN Annual Report
A particular challenge encountered during 2020 was to ensure that ISGAN continued to work successfully together as a network, despite the many challenges encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst
many issues, this made the familiar ways of working simply impossible and new approaches had to be found. The overall success of ISGAN activites in 2020 reflects the network ability to manage and operate despite
these great challenges, testifying the strengths and cohesion of this TCP.
How to Improve the Interoperability of Digital (ICT) Systems in the Energy Sector
This report has been prepared within the framework of ISGAN Annex 6 and focuses on the question “How to improve the interoperability of digital (ICT) systems in the (electric) energy sector?”. The paper presents and discusses various approaches for designing the system-of-systems, different approaches for enabling and verifying the ICT-interoperability in Smart Grids and motivates the need for interoperability improvements in energy sector. It does so by looking at existing approaches commonly used to improve the interoperability of digital systems both with the energy sector as in other domains, and to learn lessons from them.
Modelling storage operation for markets participation and supply of advanced system services – Discussion Paper
ISGAN Working Group 6 (Transmission and Distribution Systems) presents you the final deliverable on the activity on ‘Modelling storage operation for markets participation and supply of advanced system services’, which was prepared under the lead of Italy (RSE).
