- Building new indicators for researchers’ careers and mobility based on electronic curriculum vitae: the case of the DeGóis platformPublication . Fontes, Margarida; Assis, José; Araújo, Emília; Bento, Sofia; Henriques, Luísa; Pirralha, André; Santos, LeonelThere are currently two main databases in Portugal regarding researchers’ electronic CVs: • the FCT-SIG (Council for Science and Technology-Information and Management System) – hereafter called the FCT Information System, and • the DeGóis Platform Although this report will be concentrated on discussing the DeGóis Platform, since the latter will prevail in the medium/long term, replacing the former one, we believe it is useful to shed some light on the FCT Information System, as it still comprises the bulk of researchers’ electronic CVs in Portugal.
- System transformation for growth and sustainability : ocean energy in PortugalPublication . Fontes, Margarida; Karadzic, Vanja; Pereira, Tiago SantosABSTRACT: This Report presents the results of research conducted for the OECD Project on Systems Transformation, undertaken in the framework of the Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP). It conveys the results of the Portuguese Case Study. The OECD project on Systems Transformation (2015-2016) corresponded to the second phase of the System Innovation Project (https://www.innovationpolicyplatform.org/systeminnovation-oecd-project) whose objective was to help policy makers re-think innovation policies in the context of sustainability and green growth. It built on and extended the previous work, by applying the policy lessons learned to concrete cases of transitions in the field of knowledge based industrial production and in the area of sustainability. The goal of the project was to study advanced practices in policy support for the promotion of emerging industries and sustainable (green) innovations in OECD economies, focusing on the role of selected policy tools, such as cluster policies, demonstrators, technology roadmapping, and smart regulation. The project aimed at identifying good practices for designing these innovation policy instruments, based on a series of comparative case studies. The Portuguese Case Study addressed the role of systemic policies in the construction of an Ocean Energy System, i.e. a system that originates from the development and diffusion of renewable energies based on the ocean, providing an opportunity to examine how sustainability and structural change goals can be combined.
- Análise técnica do impacto da mudança de hora legal na penetração da geração de energia renovável não controlável no consumo em Portugal continentalPublication . Silva, João M. Henriques da; Couto, António; Duque, JoaquimRESUMO: A análise técnica do impacto da alteração do regime de hora legal no consumo de energia em Portugal Continental, suprido pela geração de energia renovável não despachável (VRE) e, por isso, não regulável em função do consumo, procurou averiguar a presença de eventuais benefícios que poderiam decorrer dessa alteração. Contudo, neste domínio de análise, não foi detetada a existência de qualquer vantagem significativa decorrente da alteração do regime de hora legal vigente para quaisquer outros regimes de hora legal analisados.
- Validation of transmission network and MIBEL data: Deliverable D2.1Publication . Couto, António; Algarvio, HugoABSTRACT: The work presented in this deliverable was developed by LNEG and R&D NESTER as part of the R&D activities of the project OPTIGRID - Methodology for the dynamic line rating analysis and optimal management of power networks. According to the plan activities of Tasks 2.2 and 2.3, the main objective of this deliverable is to present the transmission network and the Iberian electricity market (MIBEL) data gathered and validated to use in each case study. According to the work plan, and as detailed reported in the deliverables from Task 4, three case studies were defined: 1) a region with large distributed wind capacity; 2) a region with large photovoltaic (PV) potential and limited grid capacity.; and 3) market splitting occurrence in MIBEL due to congestion in the interconnections - Figure 1. For these regions, during this project, the high voltage network topology and its electrical characteristics (e.g., cables, resistance, reactance, and susceptance) were collected. The power generation, the loads in the regions under analysis were also obtained. Finally, to address the third case study, the interchange capacity (import and export) available and the bids of the day-ahead and intra-day markets at those hours are also gathered and analysed.
- Market design for a reliable ~100% renewable electricity system: Deliverable D3.5Publication . Morales-España, Germán; Algarvio, Hugo; Vries, Laurens de; Faia, Ricardo; Hernandez-Serna, Ricardo; Johanndeiter, Silke; Couto, António; José, Débora Regina S.; Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios; Lopes, Fernando; Strbac, Goran; Sanchez, Ingrid; Kochems, Johannes; Helistö, Niina; Chrysanthopoulos, Nikolaos; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: The goal of this report is to identify in which respects the design and regulation of electricity markets needs to be improved in order facilitate a (nearly) completely decarbonized electricity system. It provides a basis for scoping the modeling analyses that are to be performed in subsequent work packages in the TradeRES project. These simulations will provide the basis for an update of this deliverable in the form of a more precise description of an all-renewable electricity market design. In this first iteration1 of deliverable 3.5, we analyze how the current design of electricity markets may fall short of future needs. Where there is a lack of certainty about the best market design choices, we identify alternative choices. Alternatives may concern a choice between policy intervention and no intervention or different intervention options. Section 2 outlines current European electricity market design and the key pieces of European legislation that underlie it. The European target model is zonal pricing with bidding zones that are defined as geographic areas within the internal market without structural congestion. That implies that within one bidding zone electricity can be traded without considering grid constraints and there are uniform wholesale prices in each zone. The main European markets are Nordpool, EPEX and MIBEL. Trading between zones in the European Price Coupling Region occurs through an implicit auction where price and quantity are computed for every hour of the next day, using EUPHEMIA, a hybrid algorithm for flowbased market coupling that is considered the best practice in Europe at this time.
- Stakeholder engagement plan: Deliverable D6.1Publication . Couto, António; Algarvio, Hugo; Sijm, Jos; Rinne, Erkka; Kochems, Johannes; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: This deliverable presents the approach implemented to perform a stakeholder analysis and to produce the TradeRES’ stakeholder engagement plan. It includes the description of the tools used for the stakeholder engagement, namely the webinars, tutorials, experiments and surveys. Before establishing the engagement plan, the identification and prioritization of the relevant stakeholders at the European and national levels are performed. To support this step, a stakeholder mapping approach is followed by clustering each target group into the following categories: “Key player”, “Meet their needs”, “Keep informed” and “Monitor”. This classification takes into account the level of interest and influence of each stakeholder in the project. The communications between the consortium and the stakeholders as well as the preferable channels for these communications are also presented. The engagement plan includes a description of the communication tools, objective, frequency and expected contribution of the different stakeholders. The project comprises different stakeholders to follow closely the work developed providing feedback on the modelling methodology and scope, on market design choices, and on our research results. The stakeholders’ knowledge has been effectively involved since the beginning of the project, namely in activities related to construct reference energy systems for 2030, and their role will be crucial during the iterative process of shaping market designs and testing as well as validating the newly developed open-access market tools.
- Characterization of new flexible players: Deliverable D3.2Publication . Chrysanthopoulos, Nikolaos; Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios; Strbac, Goran; Schimeczek, Christoph; Kochems, Johannes; Vries, Laurens de; Sanchez, Ingrid; Algarvio, Hugo; Couto, António; Pinto, Tiago; Hernandez-Serna, Ricardo; Johanndeiter, Silke; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: The subject matter of this report is the analysis of the electricity markets’ actors’ scene, through the identification of actor classes and the characterisation of actors from a behavioural and an operational perspective. The technoeconomic characterization of market participants aims to support the upcoming model enhancements by aligning the agent-based model improvements with the modern market design challenges and the contemporary characteristics of players. This work has been conducted in the context of task T3.2, which focuses on the factorization of the distinctive operational and behavioural characteristics of players in market structures. Traditional parties have been considered together with new and emerging roles, while special focus has been given on new actors related to flexible technologies and demand-side response. Among the main objectives have been the characterization of individual behaviours, objectives and requirements of different electricity market players, considering both the traditional entities and the new distributed ones, and the detailed representation of the new actors.
- Design of ancillary service markets and products: Challenges and recommendations for EU renewable power systems: Deliverable D3.3Publication . van der Welle, Adriaan; Morales-España, Germán; Sijm, Jos; Serna, Ricardo Hernandez; Kochems, Johannes; Couto, António; Algarvio, Hugo; Kiviluoma, Juha; Vries, Laurens de; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: The overall objective of the current study is to analyse the implications of the transition towards a renewable, climate-neutral power system in the EU for the demand and supply of ancillary services (AS) of this system in general and for the market design and related EU regulation of these services in particular. The study focuses predominantly on electricity balancing services (‘frequency control’). However, other ancillary services – not ably reactive power services (‘voltage control’) and system restoration services (‘black start’) – are, to some extent, considered as well. More specifically, the study analyses in particular (i) the current situation (‘base case’) of ancillary (electricity balancing) services in the EU, (ii) the future situation (‘towards a 100% renewable EU power system’) of these services, and (iii) the major challenges and recommendations for the main ancillary services markets in the EU in order to improve the performance of these markets in the coming years, i.e. up to 2030 and beyond.
- Development of DLR analysis and power system models: Deliverable D3.1Publication . Algarvio, Hugo; Duque, Joaquim; Couto, AntónioABSTRACT: This deliverable presents the work developed by LNEG as part of the R&D activities of the project OPTIGRID - Methodology for the dynamic line rating analysis and optimal management of power networks. According to the plan activities of Tasks 3.1 and 3.2, the main objective of this deliverable is to integrate the mathematical model for the Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) analysis in the optimal power flow model for a generic AC power system, previously developed in LNEG. The main limiting factor for the transmission capacity of overhead lines (OHLs) is usually defined by a thermal constraint. For OHLs several effects are present, some with a positive contribution while others can lead to the potential congestion of the electrical networks. The seasonal line rating (SLR) methodology, traditionally used by the system operators to ensure that the grid does not operate over the maximum pre defined conductor temperature, determines the line’s ampacity from constant weather conditions using: 1) seasonal basis information or 2) conservative weather conditions. These conditions usually underestimate the real transmission capacity of OHLs. Thus DLR analysis allows assessing more realistic current limits for the power lines could present a method to deal with potentially congested electrical networks enabling the optimal integration of distributed renewable power generation.
