The presented framework allows to study the effects of operational CM markets and simulates the operational planning of small-scale flexibility providers that are marketed by aggregators as well as the grid operation planning of grid operators under consideration of CM markets. Based on the optimized schedules of flexibility providers, the grid operators perform grid analyses and determine current-based congestions. These congestions are then relieved by determining optimal countermeasures using flexibility from the local CM market as well as the intraday market. The application of the presented framework shows its effectiveness in relieving congestions as well as a varying flexibility usage depending on the grid structure.","PeriodicalId":311595,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120936667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to provide an insight on the benefits for both aggregators and end-users from a financial standpoint. The considered end-users can provide flexibility capacity from electric vehicle chargers and battery storage. We analyse different levels of remuneration for end-users, the difference when no intermediate party is present, and we conclude about the most advantageous set-ups for both aggregators and end-users. The results numerically show that some consumers can benefit more when aggregated, which depends on their behaviour and specific available flexibility, while others don’t seem to have an advantageous position when intermediate parties are present.","PeriodicalId":311595,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126156072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an ideal case, DERMS should cover a wide set of tools, providing benefits to both DSO as well as end customers. However, as the DERMS technology is still emerging, its definition is vague and can refer to very different levels of software hierarchy, spanning from Virtual Power Plants, Demand Response providers and DER Aggregators, to centralized enterprise systems, called Utility DERMS. Even though they are all frequently simply called DERMS, these software technologies have different sets of tools and aim to provide different services, to different stakeholders. This paper explores how these different software technologies can perfectly complement each other, and when integrated together, provide tremendous benefits to both a DSO as well as end customers, enabling them to pave the way into the next generation of active and complex distribution systems, as urgently required by governing bodies around the globe.","PeriodicalId":311595,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116227237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hydrogen Produced from VRE sources is supplied to fuel cells to give electricity. The case study is based on modeling and simulation of off-grid systems with photovoltaics (PV) and wind turbines (WT) as two possible sources of power and, BSS and hydrogen as two possible storage media for an unelectrified small rural town called Gara Botora-Kemisie in Ethiopia. A Comparative analysis of the system with diesel generator (DG) and the system without DG is performed to identify a sustainable system for the selected site.

The energy transition is happening now, resulting in the addition of new load types and generation in the low voltage distribution network. With these new loads and generation devices connected to the distribution network, a new planning approach is required that considers their stochastic nature. Computing the stochastic HC for all individual low voltage distribution feeders is challenging, as a small service area can have hundreds of feeders. This work aims to capture appropriate clustering schemes and the most relevant features of low voltage distribution feeders so that an accurate estimate of the hosting capacity of the full service area can be calculated by scaling up the hosting capacity of a small number of representative feeders. A case study using actual feeders from suburban Spain showed that representative feeders obtained from feature reduction and using appropriate cluster size enables to scale the stochastic PV HC of an extensive service area. The case study showed that using 3% of the total feeders enables to estimate the PV HC of the LVDS feeders in the large service area.","PeriodicalId":311595,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121912839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses in assessing the performance of negative and zero sequence voltage polarized ground directional elements in a Medium Voltage (MV) distribution grid with increased penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. A system has been developed, modelling a part of a distribution grid and utilizing detailed ElecrtoMagnetic Transient (EMT) models to emulate the behavior of IBRs. The design of the substation protection scheme includes an 11 kV blocking scheme employing ground directional elements. The system is simulated in a real time environment and Hardware In the Loop (HIL) tests are performed with actual protection relays utilizing the industry standard IEC 61850 protocol for the communications. The performance of the blocking scheme is examined under different configuration scenarios, with the results indicating that under certain conditions, with heavy IBR fault contributions, the protection scheme is impacted negatively.","PeriodicalId":311595,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121985846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hierarchical decisionmaking framework is illustrated using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). To address this challenge, the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) technique uses deep neural networks to assess the state and compute the action.
