The aim is to achieve a 100% renewable and decarbonised energy mix, effectively integrated into the electricity system of the future in a flexible, efficient and safe manner.
This project supports the FLEXENER project by focusing on the challenges of distribution networks. The specific objective is to develop a series of tasks identified within the FLEXENER project:
- Distribution grid flexibility solutions.
- Analysis of requirements and simulations of future scenarios and their impact on the grid in the Iberian Peninsula.
- Technological research into new markets, flexibility services and system regulation to achieve a 100% renewable energy mix with safe, efficient and clean energy. | | | | | | * | 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: | OneNet | | | Project title: | OneNet- One network for Europe (Horizon 2020. Grant agreement No. 957739) | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | October 2020 | | | End date: | March 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Tomás Gómez San Román, Rafael Cossent Arín, Luis Olmos Camacho, Javier Matanza Domingo, Gregorio López López, Leandro Lind, Orlando Mauricio Valarezo Rivera, Matteo Troncia, Jesús José Fernández García, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Hernández, Shilpa Bindu, David Ulrich Ziegler | | | Description: | OneNet addresses the growing needs of TSOs and DSOs to have real-time insight into the operation of
their networks to work in a closely coordinated way, while unlocking and enabling new flexibility markets in a fair and open way. Goal is to enable a cost-effective, seamless and secure bidirectional power flow to and from network customers as active players while supporting grid operators in their system responsibilities.
The challenges that OneNet addresses are:
• The need to unlock markets of flexibility at every level to address all the possible needs of network operators
• The need to effectively support both TSOs and DSOs system-level operation through providing flexibility for ‘frequency balancing’ and ‘non-frequency’ ancillary services among others
• The need for TSOs and DSOs to secure power supplies in the context of ever-increasing RES penetration, decreasing network outages,
• The need for TSOs and DSOs to gain near real-time insight into the operation of the networks and to can optimise them in near real-time, and
• The need for improved efficiency of grid reinforcements and stabilization of future costs of grid connection.
Comillas is leader of WP10– From OneNet demonstrators to EU wide implementation of coordinated
market schemes and interoperable platforms for standardized system products.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 957739

Local markets for energy communities: designing efficient markets and assessing the integration from the electricity system perspective | | | Funding entity: | Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN) | | | Start date: | December 2022 | | | End date: | July 2025 | | | Researcher(s): | Andrés Ramos Galán, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Jesús María Latorre Canteli, Matteo Troncia, Seyedamir Mansouri, Orlando Mauricio Valarezo Rivera, Jesús José Fernández García, Javier García González, Morsy Abdelkader Morsy Mohammed Nour | | | Description: | The project address several of the challenges that limit the effectiveness and proliferation of energy communities. OptiREC develops methods, tools, and solutions for optimal design, operation, and integration into energy systems and energy markets for local energy communities. To ensure effective implementation, energy communities need to be assessed and integrated from several different perspectives. These aspects include the design and internal operation of the energy communities’ participants and assets, aggregation of energy communities and integration into distribution networks, as well as design and participation of local flexibility markets and participation in wholesale markets.
