Item Coordinación TSO-DSO para el aprovechamiento de flexibilidad en la red de distribución: Proyecto Smartnet(2019-01-29) Madina, Carlos; Jimeno, Joseba; Gómez-Arriola, Inés; Pardo, M.; Rossi, Marco; Migliavacca, Gianluigi; Kuusela, Pirkko; Tecnalia Research & InnovationLa descarbonización de los sistemas eléctricos está dificultando la operación de los mismos, en particular en lo que se refiere a la operación de las redes de transporte y distribución. En este contexto, es fundamental una mayor coordinación y cooperación entre los operadores de ambas redes a fin de garantizar la estabilidad del sistema. El proyecto SmartNet ha definido varias alternativas de coordinación entre el TSO y el DSO para el aprovechamiento de recursos conectados a la red de distribución y con capacidad de aportar flexibilidad. Posteriormente, se ha desarrollado un entorno de simulación para evaluar el impacto de las distintas alternativas en un escenario plausible a 2030 en Italia, Dinamarca y España. Cada una de las opciones de coordinación llevará aparejados una serie de costes (especialmente, ligados a los sistemas TICs), pero también aportará distintos beneficios al sistema, por lo que, mediante un análisis coste-beneficio, se puede comparar la bondad de cada una de ellas e identificar las más prometedoras en cada uno de los países objeto de estudio. Con el fin de demostrar la viabilidad tecnológica de las soluciones propuestas, así como para identificar las barreras operativas de las mismas, se han desplegado tres pilotos de demostración, uno en cada país de los anteriormente indicados. La presente comunicación presenta los principales desarrollos y las conclusiones más importantes de este proyecto.Item The Innovative FlexPlan Grid-Planning Methodology: How Storage and Flexible Resources Could Help in De-Bottlenecking the European System: How storage and flexible resources could help in de-bottlenecking the european system†(2021-02-23) Migliavacca, Gianluigi; Rossi, Marco; Siface, Dario; Marzoli, Matteo; Ergun, Hakan; Rodríguez-Sánchez, Raúl; Hanot, Maxime; Leclerq, Guillaume; Amaro, Nuno; Egorov, Aleksandr; Gabrielski, Jawana; Matthes, Björn; Morch, Andrei; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThe FlexPlan Horizon2020 project aims 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 package of the European Commission. FlexPlan creates a new innovative grid-planning tool whose ambition is to go beyond the state of the art of planning methodologies by including the following innovative features: assessment of the best planning strategy by analysing in one shot a high number of candidate expansion options provided by a pre-processor tool, simultaneous mid- and long-term planning assessment over three grid years (2030, 2040, 2050), incorporation of a full range of cost–benefit analysis criteria into the target function, integrated transmission distribution planning, embedded environmental analysis (air quality, carbon footprint, landscape constraints), probabilistic contingency methodologies in replacement of the traditional N-1 criterion, application of numerical decomposition techniques to reduce calculation efforts and analysis of variability of yearly renewable energy sources (RES) and load time series through a Monte Carlo process. Six regional cases covering nearly the whole European continent are developed in order to cast a view on grid planning in Europe till 2050. FlexPlan will end up formulating guidelines for regulators and planning offices of system operators by indicating to what extent system flexibility can contribute to reducing overall system costs (operational + investment) yet maintaining current system security levels and which regulatory provisions could foster such process. This paper provides a complete description of the modelling features of the planning tool and pre-processor and provides the first results of their application in small-scale scenariosItem SmartNet: H2020 project analysing TSO–DSO interaction to enable ancillary services provision from distribution networks: H2020 project analysing TSO- DSO interaction to enable ancillary services provision from distribution networks(2017-10-01) Migliavacca, Gianluigi; Rossi, Marco; Six, Daan; Džamarija, Mario; Horsmanheimo, Seppo; Madina, Carlos; Kockar, Ivana; Morales, Juan Miguel; POWER SYSTEMSThis study presents an overview of the results obtained during the first year of the SmartNet project, which aims at comparing possible architectures for optimised interaction between transmission system operator (TSOs) and distribution system operator (DSOs), including exchange of information for monitoring as well as acquisition of ancillary services (reserve and balancing, voltage regulation, congestion management), both for local needs and for the entire power system. The results concerning TSO-DSO coordination schemes, market design and information and communication technology (ICT) architectures are shown along with the layout of the three technological pilot projects.Item TSO-DSO coordination to acquire services from distribution grids: Simulations, cost-benefit analysis and regulatory conclusions from the SmartNet project: Simulations, cost-benefit analysis and regulatory conclusions from the SmartNet project(2020-12) Rossi, Marco; Migliavacca, Gianluigi; Viganò, Giacomo; Siface, Dario; Madina, Carlos; Gomez, Inés; Kockar, Ivana; Morch, Andrei; POWER SYSTEMSThe continuously growing distributed generation and the business potential for demand response are gradually enabling significant provision of flexibility and reserve towards distribution networks. For this reason, transmission and distribution system operators need to coordinate their operation in order to develop efficient market arrangements that can help utilize all the resources capable of providing ancillary services. SmartNet project investigated the potential interaction schemes between network operators, together with the possible new services devoted to the optimal distribution grid management. This paper summarizes the main challenges in simulating complex electricity systems and flexibility markets for three European countries (Italy, Denmark and Spain) in 2030 scenarios. The simulation results are then analyzed using cost-benefit analysis and regulatory conclusions are deduced.
