| * | Abbreviated name: | FLEXENER_IBD-GEN_MERCADOS | | | Project title: | FLEXENER: New 100% renewable, flexible and robust energy system for the integration of new technologies in generation, networks and demand - Market design | | | Funding entity: | Iberdrola Generación España, S.A.U | | | Start date: | October 2020 | | | End date: | December 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Michel Rivier Abbad, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Pablo Rodilla Rodríguez, Carlos Batlle López, Paolo Mastropietro, Paulo Brito Pereira, Shilpa Bindu, Matteo Troncia | | | Description: | This project is part of the FLEXENER project. It corresponds to one of the activities of said project. The main objective of the FLEXENER project is to investigate new technologies and simulation models in the field of renewable generation, storage systems and flexible demand management and operation of the distribution network. A 100% renewable and decarbonised energy mix is ??sought, effectively integrated into the electrical system of the future in a flexible, efficient and safe way.
In this context, this project or activity has been in charge of designing configuration options for the electricity market that are adapted to the existence of a 100% renewable electricity system. The general configuration of the market has been analyzed (types of markets involved, their sequence, role of agents, type of agents), focusing in particular on capacity markets and balancing markets. The different options have been analyzed, identifying the advantages and disadvantages for a 100% renewable electricity system. | | | | |

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | 2024_OneSystem_Iberdrola | | | Project title: | New tools for the integration of energy systems: Spain´s role in Europe´s energy transition [ONESYSTEM] (CPP2022-009711) | | | Funding entity: | Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICIU), Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) /10.13039/501100011033, y por la Unión Europea NextGenerationEU/ PRTR | | | Start date: | November 2023 | | | End date: | January 2028 | | | Researcher(s): | Pablo Rodilla Rodríguez, Carlos Batlle López, Paolo Mastropietro, Antonio Bello Morales, Devashish Sonowal, Miguel Angel Barruso Recuero | | | Description: | The main energy carriers that will lead the energy transition are electricity and decarbonised gases, in particular green hydrogen. In the energy system of the future, the decarbonisation of industrial cooling/heating processes, the central role of hydrogen, the activation of demand and the coordination of the different energy vectors and markets through efficient economic signals will be key aspects. This necessary transformation of the economy in general and the energy sector in particular poses innumerable challenges. In this context, it will be essential to have tools to evaluate strategies that allow the Spanish economy to be relevant in the European decarbonization process.
In order to provide solutions to the current challenges and constraints, the aim of the ONESYSTEM project is to research and develop tools for the integration of energy carriers that allow the exploitation of synergies between them to improve the efficiency of energy supply and minimise the cost of decarbonising the economy. These tools are of two types: modelling tools and regulatory tools. The former are based on the development of techno-economic analyses, which are essential in a context of unparalleled technological and economic uncertainty. The latter, crucial in a sector in which public-private coordination is essential, are focused on the design of the regulatory framework necessary for the appropriate development of new business models. This project aims to develop models for analysing possible future routes for the integration of energy systems, focusing on Spain and its interaction with the rest of Europe. As part of the project, it will also seek to ensure that the tools developed can be replicated in other European markets.
Grant New tools for the integration of energy systems: Spain's role in Europe's energy transition [ONESYSTEM] (CPP2022-009711) funded by MICIU/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and by the “European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR”.

| * | Abbreviated name: | PSR-ONS-TSO-DSO | | | Project title: | Proyecto de Integración TSO-DSOs en Brasil | | | Funding entity: | PSR Soluçoes e Consultoria em Energia Ltda | | | Start date: | April 2024 | | | End date: | December 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Carlos Batlle López, Matteo Troncia | | | Description: | This project aims to develop recommendations to improve TSO-DSO coordination in the Brazilian system. For this purpose, IIT collaborates in the following tasks:
1. to contribute recommendations to the review of international experience in the integration between the Distribution System Operator (DSO) and the Transmission System Operator (TSO), including proposals for conceptual designs, pilot projects carried out, case studies, among others. Among the main subtopics related to international experience, special attention is given to the institutional concepts of distribution and transmission system operators, the regulation and business models applicable to the networks, and critical analysis and/or proposals for regulatory modification in the countries analyzed.
2. Provide recommendations, contributions and critical analysis of the proposed formulation for the Brazilian System, including price signals provided to decentralized agents, products to be provided by and to the DSO, physical interface between the transmission and distribution systems, allocation of responsibilities between DSO, TSO and agents, management mechanism of the products offered, institutional arrangements for the operational interface of both networks and governance model, related to the process of operation, planning and information flow between the TSO and DSO.
3. Details of international practical experiences on TSO-DSO (regulations, tools used, information and/or commercial structures, etc.) | | | | |
