Why baselines are not suited for local flexibility markets

摘要: Abstract The utilization of flexibility from distributed energy resources is necessary, in the course integration more renewable to power system. On a system level, wholesale markets are well established and operate with principle schedules balance responsibility. distribution local have gained attention both academia industry recent years, advocated by EU legislators. In those markets, operators can gain access offered aggregators, for purpose congestion management or postponement grid reinforcements. Baseline services capacity limitations represent two main approaches trading locally. This paper reviews existing proposals baseline mechanisms presents challenges different approaches. We find that rely on baselines not compatible active participation parallel operation markets. Service definitions may suffer lack transparency simplicity, prone manipulation, lead inefficient use available resources. propose services, which temporary absolute consumption caps argue they better suited tackle systems operation.
