Resumen de Demand-side flexibility in smart grids
Antonio Moreno Muñoz, Joaquín Garrido Zafra
In most countries, there is a deliberate intention to reduce the usage of non-renewable energy sources and promote the exploitation of renewable generation at all levels. The electricity sector illustrates a successful implementation of these energy policies. Against this background, power systems worldwide are undergoing deep-seated changes due to the increasing penetration of these variable renewable energy sources and distributed energy resources that are intermittent and variable in nature. Under these conditions, achieving a continuous balance between generation and consumption becomes a challenge and may jeopardize the system stability, which points out the need of making the power system flexible enough as a response measure to this trend.
