Abstract

EU-SysFlex H2020 project aims at developing and testing innovative tools for the integration of high levels (above 50%) of renewable energy sources (RES) in the pan-European Electricity system. These high levels of RES will increase the need of new sources of flexibility to support the system services, since there will be a decreasing number of conventional power plants on the grid. In this context, this paper describes the Flexibility Hub (FlexHub) concept, consisting in a platform of tools managed by the DSO to facilitate market-based flexibility provision to the TSO using resources connected to the distribution system. The FlexHub is part of the systems to be tested in the EU-SysFlex project, in the Portuguese demonstrator. It includes the provision of flexibility to the TSO in terms of active power (with an extended restoration reserve market) and reactive power (in a local set market), and the provision of an equivalent dynamic model of the distribution grid for TSO dynamic grid analysis.
