How can Aggregators Improve the TSO-DSO-Customer Coordination in Digitalised Power Systems? – Discussion Paper and Policy Brief

Utilizing untapped Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) potential from customers in the distribution grid necessitates TSO-DSO-Customer coordination. Customers still face challenges how to manage and market their flexibility in the energy market and how they can become active customers. Aggregators can facilitate these flexibilities as an intermediary by providing services to

Summary of regulatory activities and conclusions of the FlexPlan project

The FlexPlan Horizon 2020 project aimed at establishing a new grid-planning methodology which considers the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements, in accordance with the intentions of the Clean Energy for all Europeans regulatory

Energy communities’ impact on grids – Energy community embedment increasing grid flexibility and flourishing electricity markets

The new role of energy communities represents both an opportunity and a challenge for DSOs and, consequently, for TSOs. They can unlock active consumers' flexibility potential and more effectively integrate distributed renewable resources and new technologies, such as rooftop photovoltaic facilities, electric vehicles or batteries, etc. In contrast, energy communities
