However, their implementation is limited due to lack of practical demonstrations and tests that can rigorously quantify their ability to support the grid's integrity. In this paper, provision of time critical frequency control ancillary service is demonstrated by means of integrating PowerMatcher, a well discussed demand side management mechanism in literature, with real-time power hardware. The co-simulation platform enables testing of demand side management techniques to provide ancillary services.Keywords-Ancillary services, demand side management, transactive energy markets and real-time power hardware-in-theloop simulation.

Design of the Smart Grid Architecture According to Fractal Principles and the Basics of Corresponding Market Structure

“…WoC is the latest concept introduced into the landscape of the smart grid concepts. The cell definition has evolved very dynamically in a short time [28][29][30][31][32], is generic and does not appear unique in the literature [31,32]. In the cell-based decentralized control framework WoC, cells are defined as "non-overlapping topological subsets of a power system associated with a scale-independent operational responsibility" [31] without specifying the criteria for the practical definition of its size.…”

“…load shedding). Nevertheless, demand capability to contribute to frequency control has been underestimated in the past due to the complexity involved in the realtime monitoring and control of aggregated loads [94]. In contrast, with the advancements in measuring and monitoring techniques, demand side managements (DSMs) have started to gain more consideration and application from various TSOs in managing the power system efficiently and in accommodating a higher share of renewable energy generation [95].…”
