Abstract
With the energy transition at sight and the EU renewable energy source integration ambition, the EU-SysFlex project aims at defining a set of advancements in the electric system that drives us towards that direction. With the increasing decentralisation and granularity of the generation facilities, local generation will gain a determinant role in the provision of future local and global systems services. This study presents an overview of a framework for a local market for reactive power control that will be implemented and demonstrated under a real scenario in a Portuguese demo site. The demonstration includes a set of capacitor banks of the distribution system operator (DSO) and two wind farms of a wind power generation operator. This local reactive power market consists of a close to real-time continuous intraday local market managed by the DSO, with 15 min delivery time to increase temporal granularity, and with 7 h delivery horizons with complex bids to allow more flexible assets operation. Market agents can also correct future previously scheduled positions by participating themselves as sellers or buyers of capacitive or inductive reactive power, providing a more flexible framework.
