Grid operation of the future using the example of flexQgrid

Abstract:
The increase in renewable power generation as well as flexible consumption units in distribution grids requires new concepts for the coordination of flexibilities and their utilization for congestion management. As grid operation is becoming more complex due to the energy transition, congestion management concepts are required to support grid operators. This paper describes the congestion management that is developed in the project “flexQgrid” based on the grid traffic light concept with an automated system in the red phase and the visualization of the new information for the operators.
