A flexibility model supporting sector coupling for energy transition

The article proposes a flexibility model suitable for multi-energy systems. Multi-energy systems belong to distributed generation, allowing the coupling of sectors such as electricity, gas, heat, cooling, etc., and can support the power system by providing ancillary services. Flexibility supports sector coupling by increasing the import of surplus production (renewable), thereby avoiding curtailment and exporting during production deficits (renewable).

The flexibility model proposed in the article includes a techno-economic algorithm, implemented via Mixed-Integer Linear Programming, for co-optimizing participation in multiple markets. Generally, flexibility is channeled through energy and balancing markets. This work specifically delves into the case of flexibility provided by ancillary services.

 

The model is simulated using a real district heating plant in the eastern area of Milan, Italy, participating in the balancing market. The results highlight the barriers posed by current regulations and market rules in accepting flexibility from Multiple Energy Systems (MES). However, encouragingly, there is significant flexibility available from a wide range of multi-energy systems. This potential represents an enabling factor for the integration of the anticipated large share of renewable generation in the coming years.
