N2 - FlexControl is a vision, a concept and a product – a vision for the control of future power
systems based on renewable energy and distributed control, a generic concept for smart
control of many power units and ‘product’ implementations of the concept in different
applications.
The general development trends for power system towards more stochastic power
generation from wind and solar, more distributed generation and control, and the
introduction of demand responses from a huge number of small, flexible loads, require
new architecture, design and means of controlling of the power system in order to
maintain the power balances and the high security of supply and power quality in all
parts of the grid.
FlexControl is a flexible, modular, scalable and generic control concept designed for
smart control of a huge number of distributed, controllable power units (DERs) in the
power system. FlexControl is based on aggregated, indirect and rule based
communication and control, and open standards. The indirect control is based on
responses to the frequency, the voltage and the broadcasting of global or local price
signals. The paper presents an overview of the FlexControl concept, with its elements,
options and applications.
