Energy storage systems (ESSs) can benefit distribution networks by providing multiple services to the distribution system operator and contributing to system reliability. Given the high capital costs of ESS, it is beneficial to optimally design them for their intended applications; however, this can be computationally expensive due to the non-convex formulation of the AC power flow, the complexity of business use cases and the simulation of multi-period operations. This study develops a comprehensive model to size the ESS to minimise the system lifetime costs and maximise reliability. The non-convex AC power flow model is modified using a convex relaxation, which yields efficient and globally optimal results. The battery degradation is simulated by a global wear coefficient considering the effect of depth of discharge. The sizing study is implemented to fulfil multiple applications on the Gussing distribution network in Austria.

Reliable and scalable communication technologies are required to securely integrate and utilise the flexibility offered by different smart grid solutions. Smart secondary substations can play a critical role in enabling the flexibility services for the DSO with more monitoring and control functions being deployed at these substations. However, there are a number of challenges associated with the deployment and integration of communications to enable future DSO functions. This paper defines the key requirements for future secondary substation communications and provides a number of recommendations to address future operator needs. A case study related to the deployment of a Smart Transformer for better utilisation of network assets and voltage regulation is presented to illustrate the applicability of aforementioned requirements.

This paper presents the results to identify optimization strategies to exploit the flexibility provided by a biogas production plant. This plant, located in Murcia (Spain) is one of seven real life case studies of multi energy systems, located in different European countries under analysis in the EU MAGNITUDE project. The facility Murcia Este is a wastewater treatment plant WWTP, with production of biogas as a result from Anaerobic Digestion. The biogas produced is completely exploited to selfsustain the electricity and heat plant demands. The flexibility provision ability is given as ancillary market participation, in particular by manual frequency regulation reserve (mFRR) provision. The model of the plant refers to a base case, consisting of the current configuration and management, and to several possible extensions, improving devices and management strategies. The experimentations carried out are based on weekly data, each one associated to the seasons and to two “critical” weeks. The results show the plant can successfully provide the market service in the current configuration (base case) and in the improvements proposed, for all the six weeks data identified. The improvement which provides the best results is the heatstorage, currently not installed, which ensures an interesting decoupling between the biogas production and the heat demand/service provision.
