ISGAN launches a new Annex: Flexibility Market Development and Implementation
After the last ISGAN Ex.Co. it was decided to start a new annex: “Annex 9: Flexibility Markets- development and implementation” dedicated to all aspects of market design for power system flexibility.
New initiative to advance policy development on regulatory sandboxes
The objective of the project is to facilitate a structured and learning-focused knowledge exchange on sandbox programs and similar measures of regulatory experimenting in different countries.
21st Meeting of the Executive Committee (ExCo)
The 21st Meeting of the Executive Committee (ExCo) of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) will take place March 16th-18th, 2021 as a virtual meeting.
CEM12/MI6 will be in the week commencing 31 May 2021
Call for tender for Executive Committee Operating Agent and Secretariat of the International Smart Grids Action Network
The Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency Technology Collaboration Programme for a Co-operative Programme on Smart Grids (ISGAN – International Smart Grids Action Network) launches a call for tender to serve as ISGAN Executive Committee Operating Agent and Secretariat (ISGAN OA/Secretariat). The document contains an introduction to the ISGAN activities, the proposed content, the eligibility and selection criteria, the terms and conditions, and the terms of reference for the position.
Smart5Grid kickoff meeting
The project will investigate the implementation of 5G connectivity in Energy sector, by developing 4 demonstrators in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Greece, for testing different applications in energy industry and Smart Grids. Besides that, the project will also develop a framework to facilitate the development of NetAPPs, fostering the access to new markets for SMEs.
Capturing Flexibility in Local Energy Systems Workshop
Canada, with ISGAN Annex 6, is hosting a public workshop titled “Capturing flexibility from local energy systems,” inviting participants to explore the role distributed energy resources (loads, storage devices, and small generation) will have in a deeply decarbonised, next generation smart grid.
Lessons learned from international projects on TSO-DSO interaction
Annex 6 presents the lessons learned from international projects on TSO-DSO interaction.
Webinar: Extracting value from data sharing for RES forecasting: Privacy aspects and data monetization
17 Dec 2020 @ 14:00 CET
Duration: 1h
Recent works in renewable energy sources (RES) forecasting, have shown the interest of using spatially distributed time series and assumed that data could be gathered centrally and used, either at the RES power plant level, or at the level of a system operator. However, data is distributed in terms of ownership, limitation in data transfer capabilities and with agents being reluctant to share their data anyway.
The goal of this presentation is to rethink those learning problems by reformulating them as distributed learning problems and exploring two paradigms: privacy-preserving analytics and data markets. It will start by presenting the paradigm of collaborative RES forecasting and the challenges to implement a privacy layer for data from multiple owners. Then, the different algorithmic solutions for that data markets are discussed together with its applicability to RES forecasting. In this context, agents will be incentivized to collaborate, either through monetization of data or a privacy protocol for data exchange. This Webinar is proposed by the European H2020 Smart4RES project (http://www.smart4RES.eu)
