Description
The future of smart cities depends upon an efficient and flexible energy system. In order to enable an increasing role of energy flexibility, several Integrated ICT tools are proposed to support the exchange of information and innovative services that support the operation of the electricity network in a context of high penetration of intermittent renewable energy supply. This paper discusses ICT tools designed to assist network operators, flexibility suppliers, and market operators, and make the flexibility markets both efficient and attractive. These tools utilize innovative models and algorithms to facilitate network-aware flexibility market-clearing while giving Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in cities an intelligent prognosis for improved grid operation and investment planning, functionalities provide value to DSOs that can be exploited in today’s electricity system landscape, while the value propositions delivered by the ICT services can increase significantly as flexibility markets mature and are deployed in wide-scale commercial operations. A unique approach to constructing business models and various novel service designs is presented in order to capture flexibility value for market actors and technology providers alike. Finally, a methodology for assessing the impact of these ICT tools is discussed using the 5 helices approach involving multi-actor stakeholders of a sustainable society.
