BSOG - Identification of best Energy Trade Scenario using provided Electric Energy Production capacities, Sizing of Storage Capacities
Sector | Industry: Energy Production
Project outcomes:
Identification of best Energy Trade Scenario using provided Electric Energy Production Capacities, Energy Storage Options and Grid Connection Options various configurations, considering:
- 1.1. Identification of the best Energy Trade Market (Bilateral Contracts, Day Ahead Market, Intra-Day, Balancing Market, Technological System Services) using a ranking approach based on compliance, constraints, and risks in all mentioned markets;
- 1.2. Ranking of the Markets based on a financial model with calculation of IRR and NPV taking into consideration CAPEX, OPEX plus grid connection costs;
Sizing of Storage Capacities in relation to the best Energy Trade Scenario identified.
CEZ Romania - Flexibility services from DSO perspective
Sector | Industry: Energy Distribution
Project outcomes:
Analysis of the European and national regulatory framework & potential flexibility service providers;
Analysis of the impact that the emergence of flexibility services would have on the investment plan of a DSO (CEZ distribution company);
Opportunity analysis regarding the acquisition of flexibility services vs. investments (OPEX vs. CAPEX);
Identification of an area that would be suitable for flexibility services in the operating area of DEO.
National Regulatory Authority in Energy (ANRE) - Regulatory framework for (i) controllable OPEX and (ii) flexibility services
Sector | Industry: Energy
As part of this project we prepared two specialized studies regarding regulatory best practices pertaining to:
- Controllable maintenance and other OPEX costs
- Flexibility services framework
The first study covered: a multi-point comparison between Romanian DSOs, an analysis of controllable OPEX influencing factors, European best practices in the field (including efficiency factor), an indication of potentially applicable unit costs, efficiency factor estimation methods, simulations of potential factors applied to Romanian DSOs.
The second study looked into: calculation models and principles to fundament grid reinforcement vs. flexibility (CAPEX vs. OPEX), data exchange between TSO – DSO – consumer/ producer considering the existing it architecture and data flows, flexibility platforms (congestion calculation/congestion auctions), DSO perspective analysis of flexibility organisation: procedures, register, platforms.
