Prototypes and algorithms for network management, providing the signals sent by the DSOs to the aggregators and the markets, enabling and exploiting Active Demand

This document provides the outcome of the work carried out within ADDRESS WP3 “Active grid operation” whose goal is to develop prototypes and algorithms for network management, providing the signals sent by the DSOs to the aggregators and the markets, enabling and exploiting Active Demand (AD). Task 3.1 has defined the system architecture and functional specifications of control systems needed for the management of active grids exploiting distributed generation, storage flexibilities and Active Demand (AD) on distribution networks (Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV)) to be used as a basis in Task 3.2 (Medium Voltage Control Centre, HV/MV substation) and Task 3.3 (MV/LV substation) for the development of the new functions implementing the algorithms developed by Task 3.4 (active and reactive power control in MV active distribution grids and validation of AD products) and Task 3.5 (new operational planning applications). The laboratory integration tests of prototypes and MVCC functions developed are carried out within Task 3.6. This deliverable is organized such that the first chapter defines the functional specification of the distribution system components for the AD management. The second, the third and the fourth ones are related to the prototypes performing the new functions needed in the AD market contest. The fifth and the sixth chapters describe the algorithms needed by DSO to enable and exploit the AD market. The seventh chapter provides the description of the laboratory tests for integration of the software developed in the Medium Voltage Control Centre (MVCC).
