Study on the effective integration of Distributed Energy Resources for providing flexibility to the electricity system

The undergoing changes in the power system with the integration of more variable RES will increase the need for flexibility. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) can provide services to fill flexibility gaps on the local and on the transmission level. The technologies needed are available, the challenge is to adjust to the institutional set-up and the technical environment to make them market ready. This study focuses on the efficient market integration of Distributed Energy Resources in order to provide flexibility to the power system.
