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 Consortium with: experienced and innovative utilities and flexibility providers, leading-edge technology providers and world leading universities and research institutions Budget 26,5 millionEuros EC contribution 20,3 millionEuros A pan-European consortium with a multidisciplinary team with 34 partners from 14 counties TSOs Eirgrid, Soni, AST, Elering, PSE DSOs e-Distribuzione, EDPD, Helen Net, Innogy, Elektrilevi Generation and Flexibility Providers EDF, EDP, Helen, Upside Research centers, universities Energyville, Fraunhofer IWES, Imperial College, Inesc Tec, UC Dublin, Univ.
