N2 - This work focused on prescribing, designing, implementing, and evaluating a pilot project conducted in the Greek power system that addressed balancing and congestion management issues that system operators (SOs) face within the clean energy era. The considered pilot project fully focused on the development of the F-channel platform, including the idea behind this application, the steps that were taken in the process, and the outcomes of the performed activities fitting into the overall picture of the OneNet project. The specified F-channel platform is a web-based, client-server application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and cloud computation engines to improve the management of the active power for the TSO-DSO coordination. The flexibility of the grid’s resources was identified, and an integrated monitoring system based on the precise forecasting of variable generation and demand was implemented. The focus areas were congestion management, frequency control, and voltage control services, for which corresponding network models were created in close cooperation with system operators. The obtained results are essential for the remaining demonstration results because they offer an incredibly accurate basis for further research into their use in congestion management and other weather-related enhanced transmission and distribution system planning and operation practices.
