Narrative

A network-integrated booster heat pump is used to also provide services to the electrical system. In the local electrical distribution network congestion may appear, and other flexibility options are available.

This test seeks to characterize the impact of the use of local flexibility on available regulating power from a local district. The test targets an examination of the ability of the system to provide these services when under conflict.

Function(s) under Investigation (FuI)

The heating system provides services to the electrical system (a) congestion management - electrical import and export limitation; and b) regulating power provision.

Object under Investigation (OuI)

The characterization concerns the Booster Heater Controller and the Electric Storage Controller in combination with the District Supervisory Controller.

Domain under Investigation (DuI)

• power (low voltage distribution network)
• heat (coupling points to thermal network)
• control (storage and heat network control)

Purpose of Investigation (PoI)

Characterize the impact use of local flexibility on available regulating power from a local district.

System under Test (SuT)

“PCC” denotes the point of common coupling for the district to the external networks. All units connected downstream of the respective PCCs must be considered.

Functions under Test (FuT)

• electrical and heat exchange (at respective PCC)
• electrical energy bound violation
• total district electricity export
• total district thermal energy import

Qualification Strategy

The PoI is addressed first using a simple implementation to verify the test concept and the functional principles, the outcome of TS01 is a preliminary characterisation of the same TCR as TS02. TS02 will then refine and validate the characterisation on a more realistic study case.
