SysDL 2.0
Ancillary Services from Distribution Grids
Objective
Main objective of SysDL 2.0 is to elaborate a system technological basis for the coordinated provision of ancillary services – in this project mainly reactive power and redispatch – by decentralized, mainly renewable energy sources connected to the distribution grid. In a second step the system shall be validated by means of a demonstrator. Key challenge in this context is the coordination of different energy sources in order to ensure the provision of ancillary services in close interaction with the distribution grid operator (DSO) and corresponding to the requirements of the transmission grid operator (TSO). Decentralized generation units within the distribution grid shall provide ancillary services under consideration of the grid condition and consequently constitute an adequate alternative to power plants connected to the transmission grid. Key elements of the projects are:
- Development of a technical framework to ensure provision of ancillary services from the distribution grid
- Development of optimization algorithms for a distributed provision of ancillary services
- Deduction of technical requirements for the integration of distributed generation units
- Development of a suitable fault-tolerant system architecture and matching with reference architectures and international IEC standardization
- Definition of a uniform automated interface towards the TSO
- Economic evaluation of ancillary service supply
- Implementation and practical evaluation of SysDL 2.0 concept
Contribution of the Chair of Energy Economics
In the course of the project, requirements of different grid operators from the current point of view and related to future scenarios concerning grid extensions and renewable energy sources are identified. Furthermore, an energy system model to evaluate the provision of reactive power and redispatch from an economic point of view is developed.
