Abstract
To handle the impact of distributed energy resources, new usages and demand-side management, more flexibility is required from the grid, particularly on a local scale. A new market mechanism has been designed in France to address this specific problem. It aims at helping Enedis, the French distribution system operator (DSO) to solve technical constraints (voltage contractual requirements, thermal constraints in lines or transformers) by making flexibility offers available on a flexibility platform. This study presents a tool designed by EDF R&D to help the DSO select the relevant flexibility offers to solve or at least reduce the expected technical constraints while minimising the overall cost. This tool is to be integrated into Enedis' operational DSO to be used in a fully automated process, from the day-ahead constraints' detection and offers' selection in operational planning to the real-time flexibility activation.
