Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results from the research
project "Flexibility in the future smart distribution
network" (FlexNett). The project aims at contributing to
increased flexibility in the distribution network through,
among other measures, flexible operation of the
distribution network. Flexibility is defined, in the project,
as a situational and time limited response to an incentive,
i.e. shortage of energy, interruption, or changes in energy
prices. Flexible network operation can for example
include using energy storage, remote control and
automatization of network operation and voltage control,
resulting in improved security of supply and voltage
quality, and in some cases also postponement of
reinvestments.
