Abstract

Virtual Power Plants can aggregate the flexibility of many individual resources to provide services to the Transmission System Operator for balancing services. However, without safeguards, the activation of bulk volume of flexibility can lead to violations of the operational limits in the distribution grid and affect the quality of supply. The Traffic Light System developed in the InteGrid project enables the Distribution System Operators to perform a technical validation of flexibility offers. In this paper, we introduce the Traffic Light Concept problematics and we present the architecture implementation. The concept is applied to a benchmarked medium-voltage network and the simulation results are discussed.
