Periodic Reporting for period 3 - CoordiNet (Large scale campaigns to demonstrate how TSO-DSO shall act in a coordinated manner to procure grid services in the most reliable and efficient way)
Reporting period: 2021-07-01 to 2022-06-30
Coordinet objectives:
To demonstrate that coordination between TSO/DSO will lead to a cheaper, more reliable and more environmental friendly electricity supply to the consumers through the implementation of three demonstrations at large scale.
To define and test a set of standardised products and the related key parameters for grid services.
To specify and develop a TSO-DSO-Consumers cooperation platform starting with the necessary building blocks for the demonstrations.

WP1 has been completed in RP1.
WP2:
the main objective of the WP2 had been met in RP2, but the work in this RP allowed for updating and extending the communication requirements to take into account the outcomes of demonstration activities and to provide input for extracting the lessons learnt and the final recommendations of the project.
WP3: The steps completed within RP3 to contribute to achieving this objective, as stated in the Grant Agreement, are the following:
In RP3 the second demonstration phase was successfully completed. The detailed definition of the performed tests for each BUC, the outcomes of the tests for all demonstration sites, and the KPIs have been documented in D3.6. and submitted at the end of May 2022. The analysis of the entire demonstration campaign, with focus on the second phase, was documented in the final report of WP3, D3.7 submitted in June 2022.
WP4: As agreed on in the GA, this objective has mostly been achieved in the Swedish demonstration.
The following activities have ensured the achievement of the objective:
1. Definition and execution of a process of large scale market-based customer engagement through open and non-discriminatory calls in the sub-demo sites,
2. Maximization of acceptance and utilization of local markets in DSO and TSO organisations.
3. Design and development of a well-accepted market platform for all users.
4. Integration of the market place into existing systems, applications and data, and to field devices (Smart Meters).
5. Definition of business models and future planning and operation models able to benefit and value the increased efficiency resulting from the collaboration between TSO-DSO-market participants in the value chain of Ancillary Services.
6. Definition of a market design process suitable to encompass regional constraints as a pricing factor.
WP5: Within RP3, four deliverables were submitted, i.e. D5.5 D5.7 D5.8 and D5.9. D5.5 describes the activities related to customer and consumer engagement as well as the organization of support schemes. It was submitted two month late, in M40, due to a delay in the installation of the equipment in the irrigation pumps at the Kefalonia pilot site. D5.7 presents the advancements on the deployment of the identified adaptations and modifications, which were implemented and tested during the second phase of the Greek demonstration within the CoordiNet project. D5.8 presents the results of the final testing of the CoordiNet solution as well as a list of the results compiled, while D5.9 presents the evaluation of Phase 2 Testing according to the evaluation procedures described in Task 5.1
WP6: During RP3, the vast majority of the work was related to WP6.
the results of the different analyses have been included in the CoordiNet Roadmap (and coordinet public booklet), together with further analyses and insights from project and external stakeholders. The roadmap provides recommendations for an adapted market design at EU level and necessary policies to support this. In the three demo countries a more detailed assessment has been made, and findings have thereafter been generated.
WP7 and WP8 continued to support the Project and the Consortium activities.

O1: Achieved in RP1.
O2:
In addition to RP2 results, the project delivered the Update and extension of a service catalogue to represent the identified information exchanges between the three main blocks in the architecture. (D2.6)
O3
The Spanish demonstrator plays a key role in achieving Objective 3:
Connection of the agents to the grids to provide flexibility to system operators
Adaptation of the system operator’s tool to include DER capabilities.
Definition of standardized products
Definition of veto rules/mechanisms in the use of flexibility by TSO and DSOs.
O4
Mostly achieved in the Swedish demonstrator.
The following activities ensured the achievement of the objective:
Definition of a process of large-scale customer engagement in the sub-demo sites

Definition of a market design process suitable to encompass regional constraints as a pricing factor.
O5
Mainly assigned to the Greek demonstrator. In order to be able to reach this objective, we have analysed the results of the different demonstrators based on technical, environmental and economic KPIs for the different tested BUCs. This allowed us to evaluate the tested products for grid services in the chosen coordination scheme(s) based on the lessons learned from the demonstrations. In addition, we have performed a Scalability and Replicability analysis, which comprised a quantitative simulation-based assessment showing how changes in certain technical and market boundary conditions affect the performance of the business use cases and coordination schemes, and a qualitative analysis that identifies the key regulatory barriers for upscaling and replication. Furthermore, we focused on the technical feasibility, security and re-use of the architectural and technical knowledge gained through the demonstrators
O6
Scalability and Replicability analysis was done to evaluate the feasibility, the impact on existing markets and the potential of replicability/scalability of the proposed coordination schemes and standardized products for grid services, through qualitative and quantitative analyses. Further, overall architecture and implementation guidelines for an integrated market platform for further deployment and scaling up across the EU have been provided and recommendations for improved customer engagement (including incentives) have been identified based on the knowledge gained by the demonstrators.
Finally, the results of the different analyses have been included in the CoordiNet Roadmap, together with further analyses and insights from project and external stakeholders. The roadmap provides recommendations for an adapted market design at EU level and necessary policies to support this. In the three countries where demonstrations were carried out, a more detailed assessment has been made, and findings have thereafter been generated
