Abstract

This study describes a decentralised control scheme for reserves activations in the future (2030+) power system. The proposed web-of-cells (WoC) concept has been developed within the European ELECTRA Integrated Research Programme on smart grids. The concept proposes a decentralised control scheme, focusing on local inter-cell tie-line power flow deviations. The WoC concept, the different roles, and the associated control scheme are described and discussed in detail here, including an outlook of validating its robustness and responsiveness.
