Due to the increasing integration of renewable forms of generation, ageing network infrastructure, and rapid increase in peak load demand, flexibility is becoming economically more viable and hence significant role player in the future power system. There is vast amount of literature on flexibility...

This paper provides an overview of methods for including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into electric power grid planning. The general approach to grid planning is the same with and without BESS, but when BESS is included as an alternative, other methods are necessary, which adds significant...

Datasett: This is flexibility model for shiftable atomic loads (i.e. washing machine, dryers and dish washers). The model is based on real 1-minute level measurements from real households over period of time. The details of the model are described in [R]. The model is implemented in Excel for...

The script water_heater_flexibility_impact.m uses the initial conditions and provided by init_200L_RCLoad.mat to simulate nominal power profile of water heater(s) with the given upper and lower temperature thresholds. The possible flexibility activation duration also calculated. Further, the impact...

This paper gathers experiences and results from several demonstration projects in the field of grid integration of electric vehicles. The analyzed research projects are selected among research institutes and universities that are part of the European Energy Research Alliance Joint Program on Smart...
