Workshop Event Report: Unleashing Smart Grids in Mexico
Executive Summary of Smart Grid Events in Mexico City 17–19 August 2016
Synchrophasor Applications for Wide Area Monitoring and Control
Storage and balancing as key elements for future network planning and electricity markets design
The aim of this report is to analyze the flexibility contribution that identified resources could provide as a contribution towards the achievement of efficient and cost-effective dispatching of the electric system, in presence of an ever increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) which are characterized by a variable generation pattern.
Executive Summary of Smart Grid Events in Mexico City
The purpose of this report is to give an account of a collaborative International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) and the 21st Century Power Partnership (21CPP) project focusing on Mexico’s path towards smart grids and grid modernization.
Why the TSO-DSO Relationship Needs to Evolve
This article examines the evolving interaction between TSOs and DSOs in the context of increasing electrification and decentralization. Stronger coordination, targeted use of flexibility, and a clear regulatory framework are key to maintaining grid stability and efficiency.
The Role of Smart Grids in Integrating Renewable Energy
Flexible, strong, and smart grids play a crucial role in the integration of variable renewable energy (RE). As high levels of variable RE penetration become increasingly common across power systems, attention to grid operations and planning becomes more important.
Spotlight on Smart and Strong Electric Power Infrastructure
This paper summarize a number of smart-grid cases from the case book within ISGAN Annex 6: Power T&D Systems.
The Role of Smart Grids in Integrating Renewable Energy
This discussion paper explores the intersection of smart grid technology, policy, and regulation from a non-technical point of view, focusing on some specific questions relevant for decision makers.
Cost and Benefit Analysis and Toolkits
The objective of ISGAN’s Annex 3 is to develop a global framework and related analyses that can identify, define, and quantify in a standardized way the benefits which can be realized from the demonstration and deployment of smart grids technologies and related practices in electricity systems.
Spotlight on Advanced Metering Infrastructure
The AMI case book includes six case studies providing qualitative insights into the potential costs and benefits of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and the associated business cases for investment.
