Survey: Opportunity to contribute to the knowledge co-creation of the ISGAN Lighthouse Project on Smart Distribution Grids
Co-creating Insights on Planning and Implementation of Smart Distribution Grids for the Future
Workshop: 2024 – The Year of the Grid National priorities and programmes in smart grids; How can they lead to a global pledge on grid development

Russ, the ISGAN Vice Chair, kicked off the meeting, marking the 2nd edition of this workshop. It follows the successful inaugural event in Berlin during ExCo25, where representatives from various nations shared their current and future smart grid priorities and programs. Russ highlighted key events like CEM15 and COP28, underlining the meeting’s focus on global targets. Notably, over 100 countries signed two pledges post-COP28, aiming to triple global renewables and establish targets for battery storage, grids, and flexibility.

Barriers to incorporate distributed flexibility in operational and long-term planning – Fact sheet

Energy systems around the world are undergoing a paradigm shift, driven by the need for
decarbonization and the rapid growth of decentralized, variable renewable energy sources. A key
element for the effective integration of renewable and decentralized energy sources into the
power system is the use of flexibility from distributed resources, e.g., for market participation or
the provision of grid services.
Stakeholder Opinions on Flexibility Usage in Electric Energy Systems – Technical Report

The global energy landscape is in the midst of a profound shift towards flexibility markets and distributed solutions, necessitating a nuanced understanding of their impact on operational planning. This research, conducted under the International Smart Grid Action Network’s Working Group 9, delves into the intricacies of flexibility within the Austrian, Canadian, and Korean electricity systems. Leveraging prior research, the collaborative effort sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of flexibility markets across diverse regions.
