This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n° 691777 FutureFlow aFRR aggregation platform

• Aggregation of DR&DGs from 4 EU MS • Interfacing with 106 DR&DGs (monitoring and control) • Forecasting (C&I + RES) • Automatic marginal bidding • Interfacing with aFRR market • Automatic real-time controlling of DR&DGs

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n° 691777 Improved forecasting

• C&I forecasting: • Based on weighted historic data • Separate for weekdays, weekends & holidays • RES forecasting (3E): • Numerical Weather Prediction Forecasts (ECMWF, GFS, ICON) • Advanced power models of wind park & solar plant • Improve forecast accuracy • Continuous training against measurements or satellite data • Day-ahead: train & combine with Analog Ensembles or Gradient Boosting • Intraday correction: Train Time-Series Model for each horizon independently RES forecasting (Wind in SLO)

Enabling automatic energy bidding based on the market rules 5 1. Create internal merit order based on the DR & DG in the pool

2. Apply the backup policy of VPP operator 4 2 1

3. Select the bid size (market rule) priceEnergy

4. Minimum bid price is calculated (DR & DG marginal costs) i

5. Bid price based on the revenue optimization strategy by VPP operator DER 6. Submitting bids to local TSO to be forwarded to aFRR market Bid 1 Bid 2 Bid 3 Bid 4 Capacity Bids are generated every hour automatically 3

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n° 691777 Real-time activation control

Processing of received activation message (setpoint) from the connected TSO and de-aggregating received setpoint for controlling individual DR&DG Steps: 1. Receive setpoint from local TSO (real-time) SETPOINT 2. Creating internal real-time merit order list (considering: availability, (realtime) price, … of DR&DGs) DE­AGGREGATE SETPOINT 3. De-aggregate incoming setpoint signal (from TSO) to meet the internal merit order list and distribute individual signals (setpoints) to the LOCAL TSO DR&DG 4. Monitor any deviations of the activated DR&DG and reduce deviations by closed-loop controller 5. Report pool performance data to the TSO for validation purposes
