Operation flexibility - WG 2023-1

OPERATION FLEXIBILITY OF DISTRIBUTION GRIDS WITH LARGE DG SHARE

Background

Recent changes in the global political landscape, impacting energy and food security, have made the integration of DGs, especially rooftop PV, imperative, as they only occupy land already in use. The transmission and distribution networks face significant challenges, many of which are constrained by rigid rules in the grid code, which in turn limit further integration of DGs. The reliable and secure operation of T&D networks with a large share of distributed and renewable energy sources is likely to involve further use of novel, innovative methods.

This WG will identify and summarise the methods already in use and under consideration.

Scope

This working group will focus on an overview of the current distribution system operation and innovative solutions to overcome the existing challenges.
