About the session
System flexibility requirements are being explored and implemented in a number of ways including grid integration of new sources of flexibility and new infrastructure for System Operators (SO) to manage flexibility. As the overall capacity and the significance of DER continue to grow, attention is turned to the role and delivery mechanisms for DER flexibility to serve multiple purposes in the local distribution network and overall system and market.
This round table reviews the current and emerging state-of-the-art in DER flexibility sources and
- Energy storage growth, business models and flexible operations (potential scale of energy storage, system flexibility value, compensation methods, customer participation, control methods, fail-to-safe approaches and security standards).
- Demand side response utilisation for local and system-wide flexibility (potential scale of DSR, system flexibility value, compensation methods, customer participation, control methods, fail-to-safe approaches and security standards).
- Flexible distributed generation methods and mechanisms (flexibility system services, technology requirements, network constraints/objectives, flexibility value streams, compensation/market methods, national rules and limits).
- Technical platforms and commercial/market mechanisms for effective delivery of DER flexibility.
- Outlook for the growth of DER flexibility in network management, system operations and services markets.
