Improved forecasting
• C&I forecasting:
• Based on weighted historic data
• Separate for weekdays, weekends & holidays
• RES forecasting (3E):
• Numerical Weather Prediction Forecasts (ECMWF, GFS, ICON)
• Advanced power models of wind park & solar plant
• Improve forecast accuracy
• Continuous training against measurements or satellite data
• Day-ahead: train & combine with Analog Ensembles or Gradient Boosting
• Intraday correction: Train Time-Series Model for each horizon independently

Automatic bidding to regional aFRR market
Enabling automatic energy bidding based on the market rules
1. Create internal merit order based on the DR & DG in the pool
2. Apply the backup policy of VPP operator
3. Select the bid size (market rule)
4. Minimum bid price is calculated (DR & DG marginal costs)
5. Bid price based on the revenue optimization strategy by VPP operator
6. Submitting bids to local TSO to be forwarded to aFRR market

Real-time activation control
Processing of received activation message (setpoint) from the connected TSO and de-aggregating received setpoint for controlling individual DR&DG
Steps:
1. Receive setpoint from local TSO (real-time)
2. Creating internal real-time merit order list (considering: availability, price, … of DR&DGs)
3. De-aggregate incoming setpoint signal (from TSO) to meet the internal merit order list and distribute individual signals (setpoints) to the DR&DG
4. Monitor any deviations of the activated DR&DG and reduce deviations by closed-loop controller
5. Report pool performance data to the TSO for validation purposes
Reducing DR/DG set-point Increasing DR/DG set-point
