We are delighted to announce that the OSMOSE Final Brochure in its two versions: the Executive Summary and the Full version are now available on our website under the Resource Center section. The brochure aims to give an overview of the challenges addressed, the work performed, and the main achievements reached by the consortium when tackling the vast and complex question of power system flexibility.

Many thanks to our partners for their active involvement in this project and the great results obtained and much appreciation to the European Commission for funding this work under the Framework Programme Horizon 2020.

We are proud to announce that our Osmose partner: Terna SpA had a significant presence during the AEIT conference to present six papers:

• « An innovative short-term congestion management algorithm for the Italian subtransmission grid: the Zonal-EMS Demo of the OSMOSE Project ».
• « An innovative algorithm for the power loads forecasting in Italian transmission grid: development and main results of the PREVEL software of Osmose project ».
• « H2020 OSMOSE PROJECT: Electrical Grid flexibility services from industrial loads through Demand Side Response (DSR) ».
• « Experimental Assessment of Cooperative Sensors Network-based Dynamical Thermal Rating: the first evidences from the H2020 OSMSOSE Project ».
• « Weather-Based Dynamic Thermal Rating in WP5 of H2020 Osmose Project: implementation and preliminary results ».
• « Project OSMOSE: implementation and first results of voltage regulation tests from wind power plants ».

We invite you to read the papers and to share the Osmose knowledge with your colleagues.
Thank you for the great work: Luca Orrù, Fabia Gasparotto, Gino Albimonti, Francesco Silletti, Leonardo Zeni, Giuseppe Lisciandrello, Leonardo Petrocchi and Alessio Siviero.

DESPlan identified potential congestions and determined the optimal sizing and siting of BESS to solve them. Solutions were found at the minimum cost, as, with the BESS contribution, the congested branches were able to continued being exploited close to their rated capacity without overloading.

These studies may help describing potential congestion cases that may arise in the Portuguese transmission network if the network development is carried out as described in this report and conditions established in the OSMOSE scenarios occur.

Among them, the cross-border provision of reserve, as detailed in the deliverable D1.4.2 available below for download: REN successfully applied its PSMORA model to the Continental South West (CSW) region to analyze security of supply criteria from the perspective of operational reserve assessment. The impact of short-term RES uncertainty (forecast error) on CSW system operation was assessed for the scenarios “Current Goals Achieved” 2030 and 2050, and the respective flexibility needs calculated, completed by sensitivity analysis. The 2030 scenario was also updated to include the Portuguese National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) ambitions on RES installed capacity.

OSMOSE D.1.4.2 Cross Border Resserve Exchange

Key highlights in this issue:

• Videos on WP6 and WP5 demonstration released
• First results of WP2 nodal and zonal market design simulations
• FAT completed on the storage system of WP4 demonstrator
• 5 industrial sites upgraded to provide 88MW for congestion management, 5.5MVar for Automatic Voltage Control and 0.4MW for aFRR in the Italian-WP5 demo
• All software pieces of WP6 deployed and tested individually successfully
• A series of webinars organised in May with ISGAN and June with H2020 project EU-SYSFLEX
• Three intermediate deliverables to be released shortly by WP1 respectively on: cross-border provision of reserve energy, stability services provided by flexibility, and integrated analysis of different flexibility services to the power system

The IEC61850 is an international standard defining rules and guidelines for substation protection and automation system communication, configuration and testing, supported by a datamodel and a configuration language. It provides an engineering process to allow efficient device configuration. OSMOSE provides and demonstrates the required extensions for engineering process extensions to support an efficient top-down end-to-end engineering process from concept and specification to configuration. The project also provides recommendations for IEC61850 WG10 in order to integrate the projects developments into a future release of the standard.

During the webinar, the interoperability needs and issues were presented, as well as the IEC61850 scope and structure, its applications fields, and complementarity with other standards. The webinar concluded on the ongoing developments within the OSMOSE project for the standard’s implementation (subject of a second webinar).
