Efficient Operationalization of Flexibility Procurement: Market Design Analysis and Process Definition

“…Separate markets for transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs) have already been implemented in the UK (supporting four DSOs and one TSO), Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Lithuania and New York using the platform PicloFlex [8]. Other implementation proposals for separate TSO and DSO markets have been made in a few European Horizon 2020 projects, such as Integrid [9] and InterFlex [10,11]. An option for contracting flexibility using the existing markets is used by TenneT Netherlands.…”

Potential benefits of scheduling electric vehicle sessions over limiting charging power

“…The flexibility of a single vehicle is small, but the aggregated impact of a fleet or the management of large charging infrastructures (e.g. public charging stations) can be significant to participate in flexibility markets through aggregators [3]. Thus, EV flexibility aggregator could be a new market player together with other actors already active in the EV sector, such as parking or fleet owners, Charging Point Operators (CPO) or e-mobility service providers (EMSP) [4].…”
