It is expected that congestion will occur on the<br>low-voltage grid (LS-grid) (both supply and demand). This problem is only<br>getting worse given the sustainability and further electrification. Congestion on<br>the LS network is mainly caused by small consumers (KV) = households.<br>Challenges are: large numbers of customers with multiform energy profiles and<br>relative unpredictability and the (legally) very limited possibilities for grid<br>operators to take control. ACM recently introduced the congestion<br>management code decree. Which leads to a new role; congestion service<br>provider (CSP), which aims to involve the KV segment in congestion<br>management. This project responds to this.<br><br>The aim of this project is to develop a technology for hybrid heat pumps based<br>on an open standard, whereby a collective of small consumers can contribute to<br>congestion management by means of a CSP via a market platform (GOPACS).<br>Aim is to control up to 100 HWPs behind one district transformer to prevent<br>congestion on the LS network. Aggregation of a collective of small consumers to<br>contribute to GOPACS through a CSP.<br><br>The philosophy is that (A) the rate must first apply as an incentive (dynamic rates),<br>then (B) a request for flex can be made and if that is not sufficient, (C) the use of<br>an emergency measure (power limitation) is used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><a href=\"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2024\/12\/two-pager-task-2-netherlands-dalen.pdf\">Two page summary<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dalen, Netherlands Due to the high energy prices and the government&#8217;s push of hybrid heat pumps,it is expected that around&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","filters":[97,93,84],"markets":[29],"applications":[39],"class_list":["post-764","case_studies","type-case_studies","status-publish","hentry","filters-design-study","filters-distrubuted-hp","filters-the-netherlands-country","markets-the-netherlands","applications-system-integration-flexibility"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_studies"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":765,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/764\/revisions\/765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"filters","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filters?post=764"},{"taxonomy":"markets","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets?post=764"},{"taxonomy":"applications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/applications?post=764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
