Dr. Ing. Daniel Engebrecht from Mitnetz Ström received Best Paper Award at the ETG Kongress in Esslingen 08-09 May 2019.  The document “Demonstration of a Market-based Congestion Management using a Flexibility Market in Distribution Networks” documented the result of German test cases with NODES.

The paper describes the key findings and results of two real use cases that show the feasibility and advantages of market based congestion management with offered flexibility in the distribution network. Within the project, the partners developed processes to use the flexibility of an industrial park in a real case of congestion in the 110-kV-network of MITNETZ STROM. The feasibility and advantages of market based congestion management was verified in this specific use case. In the processes, the DSO as well as the aggregator of the flexibility (Entelios) use the marketplace of NODES.
