With the growth of renewables, the increased interconnection of European grids, the
development of local energy initiatives, and the specific requirements on transmission
system operator (TSO) – distribution system operator (DSO) cooperation as set forth
in the different Network Codes and Guidelines, TSOs and DSOs face new challenges that
will require greater coordination. The European Commission adopted legislative proposals
on the energy market that promote cooperation among network operators as they procure
balancing and other ancillary services and provide congestion management. Therefore,
this creates the need for a specific project such as the H2020 INTERRFACE project,
having the greater coordination between TSOs and DSOs as its core objective. In this
project, one of the demonstrations is a local asset-enabled energy market to provide
data-driven, simulation-based results, with a realistic market setting. There the
transactions beneficial for the distribution grid are facilitated via dynamic pricing
(DNUT – dynamic network usage tariff). In the demonstration of a local market that
runs based on data, provided from 3 sites (2 Hungarian, 1 Slovenian), local distribution
system operators are involved to provide grid and consumption/production data. This
paper discusses the first results from one demonstration site, which contribute to
the development of local P2P markets. It also facilitates the introduction of grid
calculation based dynamic tariffs by providing practical results from the cooperation
of research entities and DSOs in the H2020 INTERRFACE project.
