DSO Toolbox
Project Overview
Distribution System Operator's Toolbox
Modern DSOs are in need of novel tools and methodologies that will enable them: to perform cost / benefit analysis regarding the incorporation of different technologies and the adoption of various emerging added-value services into the Distribution Grid modus operandi; to decide on the technically credible and economically viable operation of the Distribution Grid, especially in light of the presence of a large number of intermittent production units and while operating in island mode; to decide on the composition and functional characteristics of the various types of production units, as well as to the planning, scheduling, operation, supervision and control of the various assets of the Distribution Grid; and, to dynamically shape the load-curve in order to respond to the production conditions and dynamic conditions of the Distribution Grid.
In the light of the above, the aim of the project is to develop a toolbox that will facilitate DSOs in the fulfillment of their tasks, both in the planning and at the operational phase.
Intracom Telecom Participation
Intracom Telecom is the Coordinator of DSO Toolbox. From a technical perspective it participates in the implementation of a tool for techno-economic analysis of the impact of incorporating different technologies and added-value energy services into the Distribution System modus operandi; a tool for the operation of the Distribution Network at emergency conditions; and a tool for power quality monitoring in a Distribution Network. Finally, Intracom Telecom implements an Enterprise Service Bus for information' and services' integration and interoperation within the DSO's IT ecosystem.
