Flexibility and hosting capacity
Increasing the flexibility of production and consumption in the power system is important to enable the green transition. Deterministic and stochastic methods will be used and evaluated to find the hosting capacity for different types or combinations of flexibility. To validate the results, measurements will be carried out in the area.
Increasing the flexibility of production and consumption in the power system is important to enable the green transition. With increased flexibility also comes increased uncertainty when it comes to planning and operating the system. It is unknown how many and which customers will act on a particular incentive. Studies are needed to be able to assess at an early stage what consequences, for the power system, will come with an increased proportion of active and flexible customers.
By building models and developing methods for the impact of different flexibility solutions on the grid, decision makers and network operators can make better informed decisions, which leads to a more robust and reliable power system.
