Test Results Final v1.0 Executive Summary The figure one gives an overview of the ADDRESS project where the new functionalities that should be implemented between the players involved in the Network System are depicted. During the project, three field tests have been carried out in order to test and assess all these new functionalities: Spain, Italy and France. The Spanish field test is dedicated to the validation of the downstream part of the ADDRESS chain, from aggregation platform to controllable appliances at consumers’ premises. The Italian test is dedicated to the validation of the upstream part of the ADDRESS chain, from AD buyers to aggregation platform, with a focus on DSO and grid operation on a large MV network, and to the effect of Active Demand (AD) visible at HV level and the French site focuses on the validation of the whole ADDRESS “chain”: from AD buyers to controllable appliances at consumers’ premises but on a smaller scale, with several tens of consumers and with one MV feeder and several LV networks.

Field tests at a glance. This document is intended to provide a description of the results reached in the field test carried out in three sites with the aim of validating the ADDRESS concepts and based on the different test cases defined in previous Deliverables (Deliverable 6.1) [1]. In the following Deliverables (Deliverable 6.3 and Deliverable 6.4) [12], [13] the assessment and effectiveness of these results are presented regarding the different objectives defined at the beginning of the ADDRESS project.

Test Results Final v1.0 Spanish Field Test The location of the Spanish field test site is the city of Castellón de la Plana, a Mediterranean city where Iberdrola is the main retail and distribution company, with more than 100.000 points of supply, 600 secondary substations and 7 primary substations. For this test site, Iberdrola recruited 263 consumers. Six test cases have been carried out, one test case for each specific aspect of the ADDRESS chain to be tested: - Test case 1: Functionality of the Aggregator ToolBox. The focus is on the validation of the functionality of the Aggregator Toolbox (ATB). The input to the ATB is the power to be increased or reduced, the time and the duration of the signal; the output is the signals to send to each Energy Box (EBox). - Test case 2: Functionality of the EBox. The focus is on the analysis of the behaviour of the EBox when Aggregator’s signal is received, how it is interpreted and which are the signals sent to the smart plugs and smart loads. - Test case 3: Functionality of the smart devices. The objective of this test is the analysis of the communications between the EBox and the smart devices based on the output from the EBox algorithm. - Test Case 4: Global analysis. In these tests, the consumers’ response is analyzed from Aggregator point of view. The objective of these tests is the assessment of the demand side management and behaviour from all the consumers. - Test Case 5: Consumers’ behaviour according to incentives. In these tests, the objective is to analyze how the consumers’ behaviour varies for varying incentives. - Test Case 6: Consumers’ behaviour according to duration. These tests have an objective similar to the above set 5: to analyze the response of the consumers with respect to the duration of price&volume signal. Italian field test The Italian test site is Carpinone (Molise Region, Centre of Italy), where there is a MV network with several MV generation sources. In addition, the grid has over capacity which enables tests to be performed without endangering the quality and availability of supply. A storage system is installed to emulate demand increase by charging the battery and demand decrease by discharging the battery. Tests developed to validate Italian field test have been grouped into four categories: - Test case 1: The DSO as the AD product validator. In the test, the DSO receives AD bid proposals large enough to push the network to some limit; so proposals have to be curtailed by the DSO validation algorithms, and the curtailed bids should to be published in the MVCC interface. Then, the curtailed AD products are be activated through emulation (by means of the storage system or by modifying load/generation on the network and the real network operation will be observed) - Test case 2: The DSO as the buyer of AD products. In this case, a network constraint is simulated by changing the thermal limit of a MV cable in the network under the test. The real network operation that will be observed will have to comply with the DSO forecast.

Test Results Final v1.0 - Test case 3: limitation of the power flow rising to the transmission network. Localized AD products to limit the power flow towards the transmission system. In this test, the AD contribution of specific load areas are programmed within the day-ahead market. - Test case 4: MVCC algorithms reaction to network changes. French field test This field tests took place on two islands (Houat & Hoëdic) where about 30 households were involved with some of them acting as a reference (not participating in active demand process). These islands are connected to the main land by one MV underwater cable. Distribution is done via 8 MV/LV transformers. In the French field tests different scenarios have been carried out to assess all the implemented technology. Nearly all of them concern the complete ADDRESS architecture. The objectives of these scenarios are mainly the following: Assess the technical feasibility of the complete implemented ADDRESS system and evaluate its performance on real field data. Assess how Active Demand can meet the needs of the electricity system players using bilateral contracts (SRP and/or CRP) or market offers. The provision of AD services was based on the simulation of possible problems or needs identified by electricity system players (DSO, TSO, BRP…) or by other players (retailer, RES producers – PV in our case…). The AD services such as power reserve for imbalance management, load shaping (load increase or decrease) for technical or economical optimizations, voltage control and power control to relief overloads or network congestions were considered. Simulate the market interactions of aggregation entities and other electricity system players and assess the potential impact of AD on the prices of an electricity market. Analyze the impact on the network of the delivered AD volumes. The effects of the AD product volumes forecasted and submitted by the aggregation entity are compared with the actual ones resulting from the load variations observed on the field. Study the response of the consumer portfolio to the incentive signals defined by the aggregation entities and sent to the Energy Boxes. This study performed on both local (consumer) and global (cluster of consumers) levels allowed us to verify if, how and under which conditions the initial AD need was fulfilled. The forecasted behaviours of the consumer appliances and of the global cluster are compared to the ones measured on the field. Finally, consumers’ acceptance and commitment were also assessed but this topic is out of the scope of this deliverable. In this respect, the studies carried out and the result obtained are described in ADDRESS Deliverable D5.2 [7]. The results of the three field tests are described in the present deliverable. Their main conclusions are presented at the end of this report. Assessment and evaluation of all the tests are presented in the Deliverable 6.3 [12].
