Abstract

The Distribution System Operator (DSO), as the owner of critical infrastructure, is at the core of any smart city solution design. An increasingly digitalized infrastructure (with the rollout of smart grid infrastructure and increase of cloud based services) is the driver for the creation of novel digital services, able to cope with the high-level demands of the end users. This brings forward new business models, which might require significant development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) capabilities for the DSO, as well as new decision support tools to allocate flexibility services from distributed generation, EV charging network, demand response or storage. The new DSOs’ roles are extremely connected with their increasing need of flexibility. DSOs should procure flexibility through market-based solutions or use other direct flexibility alternatives, such as grid reinforcements or storage. The different alternatives should always be assessed on an economic/societal perspective and must always guarantee security and quality of supply, under the supervision of the Regulator. Presently, several European Union projects with a focus on the use of flexibility resources for grid management are currently taking place in the city of Lisbon, namely Sharing Cities Lighthouse program and Suscity project. These projects will enable the creation of new business models for the stakeholders across the value chain.
