Abstract
The high penetration of DER into the European power system requires a radical new approach to the real time grid operation. The ELECTRA Integrated Research Programme on Smart Grids is active in the definition of the new system requirements, deploying flexibility resources to be triggered in response to proper grid observables inputs. This paper presents the ELECTRA vision on the 2030+ power system together with its proposal for frequency and voltage control schemes. The proposed approach on grid control envisages the deployment of flexibility resources, the provision of new ancillary service as well as the use of advanced ICT solutions to improve the network observability.
