European Energy Market - EEM19

The partners of the FutureFlow project, which will be concluded at the end of the year after four years of intensive work, presented the final results at the EEM Conference. Mag. Andrej Souvent (EIMV) also attended the conference as lecturer. He presented the development and implementation of the demonstration IT environment which enabled the implementation of pilot tests. "The greatest challenge was to execute the environment so that it does not interfere in the existing regulators for the return of the transmission grid operators' frequency," emphasised Mag. Souvent, since the latter are of key importance for a stable operation of the electric power system, thus any kind of experimentation would be too risky. We made digital twins of such regulators and the models of power plants reactions that are located in the areas of transmission operators of Austria, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia. Souvent also explained: "We have obtained the system simulator core that was connected with the regional market platform for cross-border utilisation of reserves for frequency return, which was also developed within the project, as well as with virtual power plants of balancing services providers."  Tests were conducted in real time, by activating real power of aggregated dispersed sources, and we also observed the response as if everything was implemented in real electric power systems in all four countries participating in the project.
