European system with an efficient coordinated use of flexibilities for the integration of a large share of RES
Vera Silva Research program director « Electricity systems and markets) EDF R&D EU-SysFlex overall objective
EU SysFlex objective is to contribute to developing a market design and regulation framework able to foster the development of innovative flexibility approaches to address the technical shortfalls of a European system with high RES. These innovative approaches cover both the technical capability for providing the right flexibilities and system services and the ability of TSOs to integrate these into system and network operation. EU-SysFlex will make a major contribution to a cost effective system transformation to meet EU world leading RES objectives
Three pillars of EUSysFlex approach
System needs TSO driven Whole system driven Technical shortfalls Economic shortfalls
Market driving innovation to respond to system needs
Demonstrations/ Scalability Market design and Replicability/ TSO Services/ Products/ enhancement & operations simulation Procurement/Remuneration regulation evolution
Flexibility Roadmap – Implementation and exploitation
Scalability and System Implementation Exploitation of results replicatbility benefits Roadmap business creation EU SysFlex will provide a significant improvement of EU innovation capacity by combining “top-down” and “bottom- up” approaches to flexibility enabled by a strong consortium
- Cost effective enhancement of flexibility and system services capability - new approaches and tools for transmission network operation - new concepts and tools to support different coordination layers: cross- border, cross sectoral, TSO/DSO, centralised/descentralised flexibilities
- Market design and regulatory options - for innovative services, as well as new business models
- Support Pan-European market integration - supporting the integration of regions such as the Baltics - enabling a stronger sharing of experience from very high RES regions: Ireland, Portugal, Germany

▪ Demonstration of solutions in a real environment in Portugal led by EDP CNET
▪ A total of 10 partners (incl. 5 third-parties) working on WP7 from Industry (EDP, Siemens, EDF), R&D (EDP CNET) and Academia (INESCTEC)
▪ Focus is on the coordination of flexibility from centralised and decentralised sources towards the provision of services to the transmission system;
▪ Portuguese Utility EDP participates with 5 different business units:
• - EDP CNET: R&D Center
• - EDP Distribuição: Portuguese DSO
• - EDP Renewables: Renewable energy operator and developer
• - EDP Produção: “Conventional” energy (excl. wind) operator and developer
• - EDP SA – UNGE: Energy trading unit
| 9 DEMONSTRATION OF A MULTI-SERVICE FRAMEWORK FOR COORDINATION OF CENTRALISED AND DECENTRALISED FLEXIBILITIES LED BY EDP (2/2)
▪ Demonstrate in a real-environment the coordination of centralised and decentralised flexibility for the provision of services to the transmission system, through the development of two concepts:
▪ - Virtual Power Plant: Flexibility provided by combined large-scale generation, large-scale storage and RES power plants via the optimized operation of a variable speed pumped storage power plant
▪ - Flexibility Hub: Flexibility provided by the DSO, through control of DSO-owned resources ▪ Develop solutions that enhance grid-friendly RES, explore large-scale storage, making RES more predictable and dispatchable whilst also contributing to improve the information exchange and control actions between distribution and transmission systems;
▪ Demonstration will take place in Portugal, in the area of the Venda Nova III Hydro Plant (756MW) + 6 nearby wind farms + 7 other (smaller) pumped storage hydro plants + other “flexibility assets” (capacitor banks, On-load Tap Changers, etc.
