RT Journal Article T1 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 A1 Rossi, Marco A1 Migliavacca, Gianluigi A1 Viganò, Giacomo A1 Siface, Dario A1 Madina, Carlos A1 Gomez, Inés A1 Kockar, Ivana A1 Morch, Andrei AB The 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.
