R&D NESTER PRESENTATION ON DYNAMIC LINE RATING AT THE IBERO-AMERICA CONFERENCE EVEX2021
R&D NESTER participated in the Ibero-America conference Evex2021 (Energy Virtual Experience 2021), which was hold from December 6th to December 10th, with a presentation of an abstract entitled "Aplicação do Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) para minimizar o Market Split no MIBEL".
This presentation focused on sharing the results already obtained in the scope of the OptiGrid project, founded by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia), in partnership with LNEG (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia).
This conference main topic was the Ibero-Americana energy transition in a world after COVID-19.
Besides the presentation made, a paper related with this topic is going to be published. This paper focused on the presentation of the results of three case studies, addressing wind power, solar power and Market Splitting, respectively. In the first case study, the North of Portugal was used in order to take into consideration all the wind power available.
The DLR was compared with the traditional approach, showing improvements in terms of line capacity. In the second case study, the South of Portugal was used in order to take into consideration all the solar power available. Similar results were obtained.
The results of these two case studies also suggested that in some cases, the limiting factor was not related to the power line capacity but was instead associated with other required technical constraints in the electrical network configuration.
The final case study, related with the market splitting, shown that the number of hours in which Market Splitting occurs was reduced with the application of the DLR.
