Flexibility Market Design for Congestion Management in Smart Distribution Grids: the Dutch Demonstration of the Interflex Project

Nowadays, the distribution network is subjected to several capacity challenges and congestion problems due to the growing number of distributed energy resources and new technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) energy, Electric Ve-hicles (EVs) and Battery Storage. Grid reinforcements are one of the traditional solutions to expand the network capacity, but are time consuming and sometimes not a cost-effective approach to address these sort of congestion problems. In the transition towards smart distribution networks, local flexibility on the de-mand-side can be employed as an alternative sol... Mehr ...
