Acquisition of a balance responsible party under grid restrictions in an extended scheduling system

An approach for an optimization problem to combine acquisition of a balancing group and grid restrictions given by distribution system operators is introduced in this paper. It is embedded into an extended scheduling system which enables communication between balance responsible parties and system operators. As the optimization problem should be used inside a DayAhead or IntraDay process it was formulated with linear restrictions and with a linear objective function to keep a short computation time. The optimization problem is very modular, hence it can be used for different use cases and is of course easily expandable. We give a proof of concept for the optimization problem and discuss advantages and disadvantages.
