Regional market design

Design of a new regional market and inter-regional coordination of VPPs for re-dispatch/voltage support. The design is based on technical, social and regulatory aspects as well as evaluation and tests.

Coordinated cross-layer support

Increase the coordinated support of fluctuating renewable energy sources to regional, inter-regional and European layers of ancillary services and markets

The following sub-goals contribute to the above main goals:

• Improve solar radiation and regional PV forecast and nowcast
• Improve price forecasts for intra-day, imbalance as well as call probability of balancing reserve
• Analysis of the interaction of different layers of services and markets for different configurations of the regional markets
• This markets will be integrated in the VPP optimization as well as the VPP controller
• Regional market models will be designed together with relevant stakeholders based on technical and regulatory assessments
• Simulate and include this regional market in a large-scale European model
• The interaction of the stakeholders on this regional market will be assessed
• The physical demonstration on existing power plants of the VPP is developed
• Demonstration of the interconnection of the VPPs to provide inter-regional services with a relevant amount of units
• Derive guidelines and exploitation strategy for the products and services of the stakeholders for the service of the three layers of markets/services
