Abstract
Modern power systems rely on power generation from renewable sources, predominantly from wind and solar. However, the intermittency and variability of these sources require additional power system flexibility. Due to retirement of conventional thermal generation, the need for flexibility is increased, while the flexible resources are reduced. Thus, new flexibility resources are sought. This paper examines real-world examples of the increased flexibility requirements, identifies the new sources of flexibility in the form of batteries and demand response, presents relevant mathematical models, and provides guidelines on future research needs in this area.
