Abstract

Aggregation by Virtual Power Plants to provide flexibility to distribution and transmission networks is seen as an important element in the transition to Net-zero. This paper presents work carried out in the SIES 2022 ERA-Net project, which is investigating in detail the possible provision of flexibility by different technologies but thorough a lens of different business models. Thus, presented work relies on the real use cases. The focus of this work is on the overall architecture (hardware and software) of the demonstrator plant in East Kilbride Scotland and the integration of assets. The paper highlights challenges and lessons learned, during this process.
