System Efficiency
In the era of deployment of a smarter and more sustainable energy system, an overall perspective of system efficiency becomes increasingly important.
Single Marketplace for Flexibility
To use this flexibility in a coordinated way, an ever closer cooperation between System Operators will be required. Several approaches for the coordinated use of flexibility for system balancing and congestion management are imaginable.
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.
