2 Introduction to the VPP 2

3 VPP FENIX solution to DER integration Overall aim: Integrate DER cost effectively in the operation and development of electricity networks Integration: solving system (network) problems with DER FENIX approach : Virtual Power Plant (VPP) as key delivery mechanism for integration of DER and demand response 3

4 VPP analogy with conventional transmission system operation Large generation is integrated in transmission network operation and development At transmission level power plants are the main source of system control (balance between supply & demand) Operators control transmission network flows by modulating outputs of generators In the future there will be a large number of small generators connected to the distribution network DER (and demand response) to provide control of distribution and transmission networks This integration will enhance the value of DER 4

13 FENIX Project coordinates FENIX is an European collaborative project, partly funded by the European Commision within the 6th Framework Programme for Research It was launched in October 2005 and its duration is 4 years 20 partners are involved The total budget is 14,7 MEuro 13

15 FENIX Challenges Identify potential present (and future) contribution of DER to networks that can be performed at advantageous cost (see Fenix at poster session). Identify network needs and the way to satisfy them using DER Revise regulations, incentive mechanisms and contractual relationships between the different participants (DER, aggregators, network operators and markets), to enhance DER contribution to the network with a fair economic return Investigate aggregation (VPP) so the limited size of DER and their non-deterministic behaviour limitations can be overcome Develop the ICT architecture to make it work: At DER level: FENIX box At VPP level: DEMS systems At system operators: revision of EMS and DMS tools 15

16 Challenges in characterising VPP VPP is a complex generating plant Diversity of technology and locations electricity led, heat led CHP, weather condition driven output Characteristics of demand (process, amount of storage, load recovery patterns) Inter-temporal dependencies Uncertainty VPP output, reserve capabilities and dynamic response characteristics (wide range of time horizons to be considered from seconds, minutes to hours) Role and value of ICT to facilitate VPP and reduce uncertainty (data management and forecasting tools) 16

25 What will be demonstrated? Providing global services (TSO level) 1- Selling large amount of active power in the day ahead market 2- Tertiary reserve, balancing market Providing local services (DSO level) 3- Selling reactive power capacity (PO7.4) (4.3.6.) 4- Help maintaining voltages in lines Providing local services in emergency situations (to be simulated) 5- Use active power generation to avoid load shedding (PO 6.1), help keeping supply in local constrains,. In every use case DSO and TSO should validate feasibility in the proposed solutions: n-1, quality of service (±7% voltage) and overloads 25

32 Conclusions If we want DER to effectively replace central, conventional generation, they have to contribute to system needs Fenix is a first step, however a lot of changes have to take place: Regulatory frameworks have to promote DER contribution DER Technology was not developed with this aim, however, and provided the limitations imposed by the nature of DER, efficient support to the system is possible (example Voltage control) International awareness is required Aggregation will be required to handle large DER penetration 32
