Integrid - Bridging the Gap

37 Figure 4.16 – Alcântara WRRF SCADA System with integrated p-Optimizer controller. Figure 4.17 – Alcântara WRRF energy flexibility available in VPP. Establish flexibility processes and demand response strategies In real-time, WRRF can be requested to reduce/ increase its energy consumption during a predefined period. At each moment, WRRF makes the amount of power (increase/decrease) and time duration available to the distribution system operator (DSO). Based on this information, the DSO can send flexibility activation requests through the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) – Figure 4.17. Figure 4.18 – Flexibility demand needed
