Optimal System-Mix Of flexibility Solutions for European electricity

Periodic Reporting for period 3 - OSMOSE (Optimal System-Mix Of flexibility Solutions for European electricity)

Período documentado: 2020-07-01 hasta 2022-04-30

Six TSOs, eleven research partners, together with sixteen industrial (manufacturers, solution providers) and market players (producers, ESCo) address the identification and development of flexibilities required to enable the Energy Transition to a high share of renewables. This approach captures synergies across needs (energy markets, system services, grid flow control) and sources of flexibilities (renewable generation, demand response, grid, storage), such as multiple services from one source, or hybridizing sources, thus resulting in a cost-efficient power system. The key objectives are to :
- demonstrate flexibility solutions enabling synergies across flexibility sources and applications via four large scale demonstrators on the transmission grid
- increase the techno-economic scalability of these solutions;
- forecast the economically optimal mix of flexibilities for the European power system, taking into account their synergies
- propose evolutions of market designs and regulations leading to this mix and capturing these synergies

The OSMOSE project provides :
- Simulations of the European power system with more RES, highlighting new flexibility needs and sources

- Validated on field algorithms and platforms for an optimized control of a power system with more flexibility
- Validated on field innovative storage systems providing flexibility
- Demonstration of flexibility provision by RES, industrial loads and storage

All these results should contribute to :
- Foster the development of new flexibility solutions and associated services
- On-going policy developments in the field of the design of the internal electricity market
- Enhanced interconnections between Member States and between energy networks;
- Ensure that the EU electricity network is capable of integrating large share of renewables in a stable and secure way;
- Ensure that the EU electricity network operates within a well-functioning wholesale market, providing the EU consumers with competitive prices of electricity and integrating renewable sources in a cost effective manner.
- Ensure that the EU electricity network evolves towards a pan-European network with increased levels of security of resource sharing;
