In the power sector, data is key to unlocking flexibility, bringing system and consumer benefits and managing the transition to a low carbon economy. This factsheet draws on UK experience to present insights into different attributes of data and its role as an enabler to facilitate interoperable flexibility markets.
With increasing requirements for flexibility in electricity girds, coordination between operators of the transmission and distribution networks becomes increasingly crucial. This paper attempts to to capture the views and insights from experts within the UK on this topic and the UK experience.
Flexibility within the electrical power system is becoming an increasingly prominent and sought-after solution, which can be utilized by both the Transmission system operator and Distribution system operator to solve/avoid network problems such as network congestion, voltage violations, system balancing etc.
This paper summarises the results of a study conducted at the inception of ISGAN Work Group 9. It seeks to identify gaps in research on flexibility issues, to provide a focus for Working Group 9.
Accessing and optimising demand side flexibility involves understanding and engaging with consumers. Working Group 9 has produced 3 factsheets on this space in Sweden, looking at: (i) metering as an enable for flexibility; (ii) the implementation of independent aggregators; and (iii) dynamic electricity pricing.
A particular challenge encountered during 2020 was to ensure that ISGAN continued to work successfully together as a network, despite the many challenges encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst many issues, this made the familiar ways of working simply impossible and new approaches had to be found. The overall success
This report has been prepared within the framework of ISGAN Annex 6 and focuses on the question “How to improve the interoperability of digital (ICT) systems in the (electric) energy sector?”. The paper presents and discusses various approaches for designing the system-of-systems, different approaches for enabling and verifying the ICT-interoperability
