A proposal for implementing short-term congestion management market in distribution networks

IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT Europe), pp. 1–5

Abstract

The article provides a proposal for implementing a short-term congestion management market for a distribution system operator’s congestion problem. Since congestion management market utilization for congestion management requires at least three stakeholders’ interactions, including the distribution system operator, market operator, and flexibility service provider, the article discusses the interactions and proposes how the market utilization can be implemented in practice. The paper presents the market design and its implementation details, including defining and calculating flexibility need attributes. The conceptual work done in the article could be used as a guideline for actual congestion management market implementations; in addition, it can be used for simulating various scenarios in the future, enabling researchers to study issues related to congestion management.
