Item Flexibility markets to procure system services. CoordiNet project(IEEE, 2020-10-13) Madina, Carlos; Gomez-Arriola, Ines; Santos-Mugica, Maider; Jimeno, Joseba; Kessels, Kris; Trakas, Dimitris; Pablo Chaves, Jose; Ruwaida, Yvonne; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMSThe efficiency and reliability of electricity systems depend, among other aspects, on an efficient collaboration between the different market participants, which require updating the roles of all agents involved. The CoordiNet project, co-funded by the EU, intends to demonstrate how TSOs and DSOs can act in a coordinated manner, to purchase and activate system services, promote the cooperation of all actors and eliminate barriers for the active participation of DERs in the market. The results of the project will help to design scalable tools and methodologies for system operators and third parties to safely connect, manage and coordinate flexibility providers. This paper describes the developments in CoordiNet to ensure the interoperability of the different markets and platforms developed by TSOs and DSOs across Europe.Item Markets and platforms to coordinate the procurement of system services from large-scale and small-scale assets connected to the electricity network(2020) Madina, Carlos; Santos-Mugica, Maider; Gómez-Arriola, Inés; Jimeno, Joseba; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThe efficiency and the reliability of the electricity system depend on an efficient collaboration between the different market participants. New challenges for the power sector, which require updating the roles of all agents involved, have emerged due to the growing importance of renewable energy sources, the advance of distributed generation, the development of self-consumption, the storage of energy and the mass integration of the electric vehicles. In this context, the safe and efficient functioning of the electricity system is linked to exploiting the untapped flexibility potential in both generation and demand. Therefore, the coordination of distribution system operators (DSOs) and transmission system operators (TSOs) in the procurement of system services provided by units located in both distribution and transmission grids become one of the current challenges.
