. This paper presents a real-world implementation
of a TSO-DSO-customer coordination framework for the use of
flexibility to support system operation. First, we describe the
general requirements for TSO-DSO-customer coordination,
including potential coordination schemes, actors and roles and the
required architecture. Then, we particularise those general
requirements for a real-world demonstration in Sweden, aiming to
avoid congestions in the grid during the high-demand winter
season. In the light of current congestion management rules and
existing markets in Sweden, we describe an integration path to
newly defined flexibility markets in support of new tools that we
developed for this application. The results show that the use of
flexibility can reduce the congestion costs while enhancing the
secure operation of the system. Additionally, we discuss challenges
and lessons learned from the demonstration, including the
importance of the engagement between stakeholders, the role of
availability remuneration, and the paramount importance of
defining appropriate technical requirements and market timings.
