Multi-Level Traffic Light Signals Integrating Energy Market and Grid Needs.

The freedom of customers to produce and manage their own energy shares also enables them to act system friendly and achieve implicit benefits. We show how to aggregate the different stakeholder aims, from comfort needs and congestion management up to demand-supply balancing at different levels. First, a traffic light like signalling is sketched, which unifies the communication of different aims, and how to respond level by level. In the end, we show exemplarily how the individual signals can be prioritised and aggregated to achieve a unique unambiguous message enabling the customers to actively support energy system stability and thereby a sustainable energy transition.
