CROSS-BORDER FLEXIBILITY PREQUALIFICATION OF DER AND EVS BASED ON DECENTRALISED COMMUNICATION MECHANISMS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OPERATION

Description

The adoption of battery-powered electric vehicles in the EU is expected to grow to 30-40 million by 2030. This, 
together with the large adoption of other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), represents a great challenge 
for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in multiple perspectives, such as providing the needed charging 
infrastructure and ensuring that everyone is served with the expected Quality of Service (QoS), by having a secure and reliable system operation capable of mitigating grid congestion and voltage violation events. One of the mechanisms to mitigate these events can be the usage of these DER, such as Electric Vehicles (EVs), as flexibility sources for the improvement of the planning and operation of power distribution systems. This paper proposes harmonising the coordination of the prequalification process for flexibility provision (product and grid prequalification) among System and Market Operators from Portugal, Spain and France, enabling the 
participation of flexibility providers in multiple markets from cross-border countries through a harmonised and non-redundant prequalification process,
