Value assessment of aggregated energy flexibility when traded on multiple markets

Risk assessment of aggregated flexibility usage for optimal multi-market trade

With the supply mix evolving to incorporate more and more uncontrollable renewable energy sources there is a need for more storage and demand response solutions. Aggregated demand response flexibility has been investigated in the past years as one of the potential solution this problem. This paper will investigate the potential impact on risks...

Multi-Goal Optimization in PowerMatching City: A Smart Living Lab

Whereas other smart grid field trials optimize for a single objective, PowerMatching City phase 2 demonstrates that multiple objectives can be achieved in a coordinated virtual power plant. A system that incorporates both consumer community proposition incentives and trade dispatch incentives (as well as end-user comfort) was designed,...

Intelligent energy management using powermatcher: Recent results from field deployments and simulation studies

Response of demand, distributed generation and electricity storage (e.g. vehicle to grid) will be crucial for power systems management in the future smart electricity grid. In this paper, we describe recent results using PowerMatcher a smart grid technology that integrates demand and supply flexibility in the operation of the electricity system...

Flexibility dynamics in clusters of residential demand response and distributed generation

Supply and demand response is a untapped resource in the current electrical system. However little work has been done to investigate the dynamics of utilizing such flexibility as well as the potential effects it could have on the infrastructure. This paper provides a starting point to seeing the potential flexibility available as well as the...

Mitigation of wind power fluctuations by intelligent response of demand and distributed generation

With the world becoming ever more conscious of the necessity for clean, sustainable energy sources, an increased proportion of energy produced by wind resources is expected. In the current power system, the integration of such large capacity of non-load-following and intermittent supply leads to several challenges, one of which is to control the...

Intelligent Heating Systems in Households for Smart Grid Applications

To realize smart grids, there is a need for flexible supply and demand of electricity. Conventional heating systems in the Netherlands are based on gas, but new innovative systems, such as heat pumps and micro-CHPs, consume or produce electricity. If the demand for heat and the production/consumption of electricity is decoupled by using a hot...
