Abstract

The study at hand describes the state of the art regulatory framework for managing the distribution system operator (DSO)/transmission system operator (TSO) interface including information about the available flexibility data and access rights of the different grid operators. It describes a possible future procedure to manage this interface using software tools to support this coordination performing grid analysis and providing active as well as reactive power flexibility information at several TSO-DSO interconnection points. The proposed study gives a short overview of two optimisation approaches/software tools with different application functionalities, developed and adapted to meet the demands coming up with such tasks, performed within the European project 'EU-SysFlex'. Both tools contribute to the objective of optimising available flexibility resources connected to meshed distribution grids with multiple grid connection points to the transmission grid. The investigations/calculations are performed using a real existing high-voltage grid of MITNETZ STROM. Using the outputs, provided by both tools, the demonstrator aims at providing beneficiary results for the discussion of how to evolve the regulatory framework. The functionality of the developed algorithms of both optimisation tools is evaluated and investigated by means of a live field test.
