Our researchers from INESC TEC have just published a new article on Elsevier. The paper “network-secure bidding optimization of aggregators of multi-energy systems in electricity, gas, and carbon markets” presents a network-secure bidding optimization strategy to assist aggregators of multi-energy systems in calculating electricity (energy and reserve), gas and carbon bids considering multi-energy network constraints.

The proposed strategy is based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. Results show that joint optimization of multi-energy systems reduces aggregators’ costs by 89% compared to a single energy-vector approach.

The full article is available here.

To support the development and performance evaluation of the ATTEST toolbox components, a set of relevant test cases have been developed in the last weeks.

Each test case consists of a series of files containing electric grid information (grid topology, generation and load data, assets data, etc.) that supports the simulation of a real (or realistic) situation, whether it is a scenario for long term planning, operation or asset management.

To build the test cases, the ATTEST team mapped the existing network and installed capacity of Portugal, Croatia and the UK in 2020. Then, researchers collected official policy documents (such as ten-year development plans for transmission and distribution, energy strategy) and projections to support high-level estimations of energy generation and consumption up to 2050.

The result is yet to be fully released, but we have published a set of infographics that resume the key data for each country. You can find them on the resources page.
