The EU regulation has identified the independent aggregator, who is not affiliated to the customer’s supplier. However, the independent aggregator has not been fully implemented yet. There are existing aggregator services, but the challenges arise on how to accommodate diverse solutions from aggregator to support TSO-DSO coordination and enhance active customer participation.
This work investigated how aggregators can improve the TSO-DSO-Customer coordination in a digitalised power system by analysing existing policies, their role, possible coordination approaches, and addressing (non-) technical challenges.
