OptNetzE - Optimize communication between electricity network operators
Optimization of the integrated operation of transmission and distribution networks - Coordination between network levels for the network-related use of flexibilities
In the project OptNetzE, funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy within the framework of the funding initiative "Zukunftsfähige Stromnetze", B.A.U.M. conducted research on coordination processes between the network level operators, which are required for the procurement of flexibilities and their network and system-related use.
Description
The OptNetzE funding project (Optimization of Integrated Operation of Transmission and Distribution Networks) focused on the further development of communication across network levels for the provision of network or system-related flexibility. In cooperation with the project partners Technical University Berlin, BTB Blockheizkraftwerks-, Träger- und Betreibergesellschaft mbH Berlin, Brandenburg Technical University (BTU) Cottbus-Senftenberg, Bosch Software Innovations GmbH and Stromnetz Berlin GmbH among others the roles of the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) were examined. In addition, new complex solutions for the design of various information and service platforms were researched and developed. At this point, communication requirements, especially at the interface to other roles, e.g. aggregators, were investigated. Furthermore, compensation options for flexibilities of Power-to-Heat (PtH) and Power-to-Gas (PtG) plants in the intelligent power market were characterized. OptNetzE was funded within the framework of the funding initiative "Zukunftsfähige Stromnetze" (eng.: sustaibale power grids).
