OSMOSE is preparing the necessary flexibilities for the electricity system of tomorrow

The integration of a rapidly growing share of non-dispatchable Renewable Energy Sources (RES) like wind and solar into the traditional electricity system will require a significantly increased level of (system) flexibility.

Osmose project started in January 2018 with an end in December 2021, have to found and develop flexibilities required to enable the Energy transition to high share of RES (Renewable Energy Sources) through a holistic approach.

This approach captures synergies across needs and sources of flexibilities, such as multiple services from one source, or hybrizing sources, thus resulting in a cost-efficient power system.

The project proposes four TSO-led demonstrations (RTE, REE, TERNA and ELES) aiming at increasing the techno-economic potential of a wide range of flexibility solutions and covering several applications, i.e.: synchronisation of large power systems by multiservice hybrid storage; multiple services provided by the coordinated control of different storage and FACTS devices; multiple services provided by grid devices, large demand-response and RES generation coordinated in a smart management system; cross-border sharing of flexibility sources through a near real-time cross-border energy market
