Joint Workshop IEA-ISGAN Annex 6 & IEA-PVPS Task 14

Apr 28

18. Mai 2015
AIT Wien, Giefinggasse 2
1210 Wien, AT

International Workshop on "the Use of Variable Renewables as Flexible Resources to Support Grid Operation and Power Transmission and Distribution Interaction".

Organiser

AIT - Austrian Institute of Technology, IEA-ISGAN Annex 6 and IEA-PVPS Task 14
Description / table of contents

Motivation
The planned rapid growth of both distributed and large-scale wind and solar power generation will require a "smarter" and more powerful transmission and distribution system, with higher customer involvement and the rise of new market players.

A key element in this transition phase is flexibility, both on the demand side and on the generation side. Experiences and approaches concerning the use of variable renewables as flexible resources to support grid operation will be shared and discussed.

With the introduction of new grid operation approaches, the roles of network operators are evolving. This includes a closer interaction between TSOs and DSOs. The workshop will be a great opportunity to learn about the TSO-DSO interaction in other countries and discuss further developments.
