Item Cost-Benefit Analysis of TSO-DSO coordination to operate flexibility markets(2019-06) Madina, Carlos; Riaño, Sandra; Gómez-Arriola, Inés; Kuusela, Pirkko; Aghaie, Hamid; Jimeno, Joseba; Ruiz, Nerea; Rossi, Marco; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMS; SISTEMAS FOTOVOLTAICOSThis paper presents the outcome of the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for the different alternatives defined in the project SmartNet for the coordination between transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs). The CBA compares five coordination schemes in three countries (Italy, Denmark and Spain) on the basis of several economic indicators. On top of them, it also calculates some non-economic indicators to enrich the analysis. The main results for the Italian and the Spanish cases are presented in this paper.Item Scenario Analysis(Springer, Cham, 2019-10-25) Rossi, Marco; Merino, Julia; Madina, Carlos; Turienzo, Elena; Svendsen, Harald; Kuusela, Pirkko; Koponen, Pekka; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMS; ADAPTACIÓN AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICOThe performance of TSO-DSO coordination schemes depends on the characteristics of the electricity systems in which regulation reserves can be provided by both transmission and distribution resources. In order to investigate the main aspects influencing TSO-DSO interactions, three detailed electricity scenarios (related to the expected 2030 evolution of Denmark, Italy and Spain) are defined. In particular, these scenarios are designed by assuming various distribution network conditions, determining different volumes of flexibility requested by the DSO in order to carry out local services. Then, the structure of a simulation platform, aimed at testing TSO-DSO coordination schemes, is proposed. It is based on three main blocks, integrating actual market clearing, bidding and dispatching algorithms, together with a simulator for the network and all the physical power resources. Finally, the simulation results are processed by means of a cost-benefit analysis which identified the market architectures providing the highest economic benefits to the system and the main factors that influence the profitability of one TSO-DSO coordination scheme among the others.
