The ongoing transition of our energy systems implies a rise of distributed generators, batteries, and new consumers, including electric vehicles and heat pumps. Previous studies have found that distributed flexibility may substantially benefit wholesale electricity markets, but have neglected...

The increasing share of intermittent renewable energy generation amplifies power price volatility, raising the need for storage technologies such as battery energy storage systems (BESS). However, limited transmission infrastructure, particularly constrained grid connections, poses a major...

Purpose - This study aims to demonstrate a rigorous approach to applying the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) and Honey's Content Analysis (HCA) to obtain and process qualitative data through structured interviews. Design/methodology/approach - An illustrative case study using the OpenRepGrid...

The Smart Grid Interoperability Laboratory (SGIL) is situated in two sites of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, namely Ispra (Italy) and Petten (The Netherlands). The lab belongsto the Energy Security, Distribution and Markets Unit and the activities vary from energy...

The concept of smart grid (SG) was made real to give the power grid the functions and features it needs to make a smooth transition towards renewable energy integration and sustainability. This was done by automating and digitizing the grid to give it the right amount of flexibility and...
