Narrative | With the increasing reliance of MV and LV level power systems on DERs, it becomes important to ensure a wide interoperability between different aggregation infrastructures and local management systems of DERs, including EVs, energy storages, PV, wind turbines, and smart buildings. Indicators for the achieved interoperability are the ease of transfer of a DER from one Virtual Power Plant (VPP) to another, the coordinated control and monitoring of the resources, and the potential for service matching among the providers. These processes depend on a functional information exchange between a central control and the DER control systems. This test case applies to aggregator platforms as well as peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platforms for energy community management. Two scales of the power system are within the scope of testing: MV/LV distribution networks and LV distribution feeders, each with the potential for various loads, renewable generation and demand side flexibility. | |

Test Specifications to this Test Case will address the PoI for a specific DER type. TS 20.1 covers PoI#2 and PoI#4 for PV systems directly within its testing scope, while providing the means to evaluate PoI#1 and PoI#3 based on the results accomplished by the previously integrated PV system.
