The CoordiNet project aims at demonstrating how Distribution System Operators (DSO) and Transmission System Operators (TSO) shall act in a coordinated manner to procure and activate grid services in the most reliable and efficient way through the implementation of three large-scale demonstrations.

13. Grid services and products
• Grid services are “services provided to Distribution System Operators (DSOs)
and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to keep the operation of the grid
within acceptable limits for security of supply and are delivered mainly by third
parties” (adapted from CEDEC et al., 2019)
• Standard products are “harmonized products for the exchange of grid service(s)
with common characteristics across Europe (i.e. shared by all TSOs or by all
DSOs or by all TSOs and DSOs)” (adapted from EBGL)
• Specific Products are “products different from standard products” (adapted from
EBGL)

15. From grid services towards products
• Definition of one or more standard products for each of the grid services
considered with some commonly defined attributes
• Not all product attributes are fixed
• Some common attributes for different services
• Currently no specific products, but can be defined when needed
• For each service a capacity product can be defined next to the energy
products
We assembled feedback based on a questionnaire and received feedback
from 16 partners

18. Market models - coordination schemes
• A coordination scheme is defined as “the relation between TSO and DSO, defining the
roles and responsibilities of each system operator, when procuring and using system
services…” (Gerard et al., 2018).”
• No one-size-fits-all coordination scheme
• A mapping of coordination schemes and a common nomenclature is proposed
• Proposition of a categorization structure to group similar coordination needs together
• Only “market coordination” (procurement phase)
• Approach:
• Starting basis: five coordination schemes (CSs) as introduced by the H2020 the SmartNet
project (Gerard et al., 2018)
• Complimented with: literature on new coordination schemes and reports that cover certain
aspects of coordination

41. Product characteristics
Characteristic Definition
Preparation period The period between the request by the SO and the start of the ramping period.
Ramping period The period during which the input and/or output of power will be increased or decreased until the requested amount is reached.
Full activation time The period between the activation request by the SO and the corresponding full delivery of the concerned product.
Minimum/maximum quantity The power (or change in power) which is offered and which will be reached at the end of the full activation time. The minimum quantity represents the
minimum amount of power for one bid. The maximum quantity represents the maximum amount of power for one bid.
Min/max duration of delivery
period
The minimum/maximum length of the period of delivery during which the service provider delivers the full requested change of power in-feed to, or the full
requested change of withdrawals from the system.
Deactivation period The period for ramping from full delivery to a set point, or from full withdrawal back to a set point.
Granularity The smallest increment in volume of a bid.
Validity period The period when the bid offered by the service provider can be activated, where all the characteristics of the product are respected. The validity period is
defined by a start time and an end time.
Mode of activation The mode of activation of bids, i.e. manual or automatic. Automatic activation is done automatically during the validity period, whereas a manual activation is
done at the request of the SO.
Availability price Price for keeping the flexibility available (mostly expressed in € /MW/hour of availability)
Activation price Price for the flexibility actually delivered (mostly expressed in € /MWh)
Divisibility The possibility for a system operator to use only part of the bids offered by the service provider, either in terms of power activation or time duration. A
distinction is made between divisible and indivisible bids.
Locational information included This attribute determines whether certain locational information needs to be included in the bid (e.g. identification of LFC area, congested area...)
Recovery period Minimum duration between the end of deactivation period and the following activation.
Aggregation allowed This attribute determines whether a grouped offering of power by covering several units via an aggregator is allowed.
Symmetric/asymmetric product This attribute determines whether only symmetric products are allowed. For a symmetric product upward regulation volume and for downward regulation
volume has to be equal.

Notas do Editor
ISGAN activities build a global understanding of smart grid, address gaps in knowledge and tools, improve peer-to-peer exchange and recognize excellence
No direct technology development or demonstration activities
Develop protocols, tools and best practices, identify environmental issues and mitigation options
Focus on exchange and dissemination of information and perspectives
A global benchmark and collaborative attitude among participating countries
Indicate to emerging economies the technological alternatives available for their own development
-the Greek energy market is still centralized, only the day-ahead market exists.
- Hence, the Greek electricity market operates as a mandatory pool in which scheduled demand and supply are matched exclusively on a day-ahead market with the closure time being 12:00 of the previous day.
-now four markets evolve: forward, day-ahead (DA), intraday (ID) and the balancing market(IPTO).
-In Kefalonia and Mesogeia Area, over-voltages are mainly detected due to the increased penetration of RES, especially during the hours of low consumption. In Kefalonia, congestions are also detected due the increased penetrations of RES
The distribution companies in Spain generally own and operate the distribution network in below 110 kV.
Above that, i.e. for balancing REE runs different ancillary service markets which include a congestion management market to solve the possible technical problems coming from the DA energy market. In this technical congestion management market, which is only open for generators, participants are remunerated following the pay-as-bid system
Between ID sessions, an additional balancing market is performed (solves deviation applying a marginal pricing clearing).
Currently, in Spain, there is not a voltage control services market, only power factor control. Therefore, a suitable market mechanism has to be designed from scratch.
(the TSO might find it appropriate to contract additional reserves and runs therefore the Additional Upward Reserve (AUR) market if reserves are expected to be low. This market opens at 4 p.m. of the day before the day when low reserve margins are detected and closes 20 minutes later.
Subsequently the secondary (4 – 5.30 p.m.) and tertiary reserves (up until 20 min before real time) reserves are contracted. As all the prequalified generators with available tertiary reserve are obliged to provide their capacity in this market.)
TSO manages network congestions that occur both at transmission and distribution levels.
This is done through a technical constraint management market by re-dispatching generation units connected at transmission,
More active participation of resources, including DER, in the congestion management market, as well as more frequent procurement of flexibility by DSOs require a rework of the current congestion management market and operational procedures so that processes that are currently performed manually can be performed in a semi-automated manner ensuring that the needed information is available to both the TSO and the affected DSOs.

In Sweden there are two levels of DSOs
Today the markets are mFRR (Nordic energy activation market), aFRR (capacity market), FCR-N for normal operation and FCR-D for disturbances.
SvK mechanisms: The usage agreement governs how much transmission capacity the customer subscribes to. (Norwegian TSO, Statnett, SvK )
After the identification of the grid needs, the local and regional DSO each use the (local and) regional market place to buy the needed services
The intention is to use existing markets rules. Today these products are managed by TSO not by the regional DSOs in Sweden. The existing products and related processes might not specifically work for the grid situation of an island like Gotland. This applicability is part of the analysis that is the basis to realize the presented BUC
unused bids after the DA and ID market that meet the conditions for the balancing service mFRR are forwarded to the TSO balancing market.
The bids are activated in the same manner as other mFRR bids.
