Item ICT architectures for TSO-DSO coordination and data exchange: a European perspective: A European Perspective(2023-03-01) Perez, Nestor Rodriguez; Domingo, Javier Matanza; Lopez, Gregorio Lopez; Avila, Jose Pablo Chaves; Bosco, Ferdinando; Croce, Vincenzo; Kukk, Kalle; Uslar, Mathias; Madina, Carlos; Santos-Mugica, Maider; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMSThe coordination between system operators is a key element for the decarbonization of the power system. Over the past few years, many EU-funded research projects have addressed the challenges of Transmission System Operators (TSO) and Distribution System Operators (DSO) coordination by implementing different data exchange architectures. This paper presents a review of the ICT architectures implemented for the main coordination schemes demonstrated in such projects. The main used technologies are analyzed, considering the type of data exchanged and the communication link. Finally, the paper presents the different gaps and challenges on TSO-DSO coordination related to ICT architectures that must still be faced, paying especial attention to the expected contribution of the EU-funded OneNet project on this topic. IEEEItem TSO-DSO-Customer coordination for purchasing flexibility system services: Challenges and lessons learned from a demonstration in Sweden(2022-07-07) Ruwaida, Yvonne; Chaves-Avila, Jose Pablo; Etherden, Nicholas; Gomez-Arriola, Ines; Gurses-Tran, Gonca; Kessels, Kris; Madina, Carlos; Sanjab, Anibal; Santos-Mugica, Maider; Trakas, Dimitris N.; Troncia, Matteo; POWER SYSTEMSThis paper presents a real-word implementation of a TSO-DSO-customer coordination framework for the use of flexibility to support system operation. First, we describe the general requirements for TSO-DSO-customer coordination, including potential coordination schemes, actors and roles and the required architecture. Then, we particularise those general requirements for a real-world demonstration in Sweden, aiming to avoid congestions in the grid during the high-demand winter season. In the light of current congestion management rules and existing markets in Sweden, we describe an integration path to newly defined flexibility markets in support of new tools that we developed for this application. The results show that the use of flexibility can reduce the congestion costs while enhancing the secure operation of the system. Additionally, we discuss challenges and lessons learned from the demonstration, including the importance of the engagement between stakeholders, the role of availability remuneration, and the paramount importance of defining appropriate technical requirements and market timings.
