Mapping of barriers and potential for flexibility

Challenge and objective

  • Increased consumption due to electrification of transport and new loads.
  • Limited grid capacity.
  • Flexibility can be used to improve the utilization of existing grid and as an alternative to grid investments.
  • A more proactive grid operation is necessary, where flexibility is included.

Work performed

  • 7 Norwegian DSOs have been interviewed.
  • Data from the interviews are analysed and described in a common report from Energi Norge and CINELDI.

Significant results

  • Potentials and barriers are grouped into four C's.

Impact for distribution system innovation

  • Increased utilization of flexibility in both planning and operation of the distribution grid.
