PS3 - Localized markets or microgrids interacting with wholesale markets Exploring the Market Value of Smart Grids and Interactions with Wholesale (TSO) and Distribution (DSO) markets

摘要

CIGRE has convened the cross discipline working group (WG) C5.24 with the purpose to explore, and report on accounting methodologies for the market-based value of smart grid developments and their net benefits in the context of electricity markets and commercial risk mitigation. As initial activities, the diverse group of contributors have compiled its collective knowledge and present initial research findings in this paper to contribute to the discussion of the preferential topic, "Localized markets or microgrids interacting with wholesale markets". To build on previous work in this area [1,2,3], this paper documents the initial research findings with some examples and types of the market-based and strategic values associated with smart grid technologies from demonstration programs in Australia, France, Portugal and USA. This paper explores the cost benefit analysis and future scenarios for smart grid and smart city deployment under the preferential topic of localized interaction with the wholesale market. The examples address the adoption and operation of smart grid and smart city technologies and how they may be influenced by, and interact with the wholesale, retail, and newly forming distribution level electricity markets. The WG will further explore what, and potentially how, market signals and schemes can be utilized to harmonize and coordinate resources across the transmission/distribution interface, e.g. for smart grid and smart city technologies and relevant business model application, that are generally at the distribution level yet will impact wholesale energy, capacity, balancing and ancillary services markets. The examples in this paper illustrate priorities of smart grid programs that influence the value, such as de-carbonization and sustainability, grid resilience, energy security, customer comfort/convenience, powering of economic/industrial zones, diversified investors/owners, optimization of combined heat and power (CHP), district heating and/or cooling, and storage.
