ISGT Europe 2022 panel session 11: FLEXI-GRID – Enabling Flexibility for Future Distribution Grids with High Penetration of Variable Renewable Generation (Slides)

FLEXI-GRID aims to digitalize the distribution grids to the end-customers level which will enhance the flexibility of distribution grids to ensure the security of supply and use flexibilities from the end-users while integrating large shares of variable renewables. This will be enabled by an IoT platform which supports different market designs for energy exchanges and flexibility provisions. The project has demonstration sites from Bulgaria, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey which allow the demonstration of the solutions of i) grid monitoring, control and flexibility intervention; ii) centralized markets for energy and flexibilities services; iii) blockchain based provision of flexibility services; iv) flexibility services provided by local battery energy storage, V2G and local renewable energy production. This panel session will present the main development and demonstration results achieved so far, focusing on how flexibilities provision would work in real-life, the benefits and challenges.
