Scouting of demand response and ancillary services procurement from intermittent RES and DG in selected foreign markets

The energetic panorama has suffered a transformation on its framework in these last years. Not only we, as humanity, have decided to shift from conventional energetic resources to cleaner, more sustainable ones, but also the politics involved have been part of the revolution. This link between the regulation and the application of new techniques has proven to be effective on the development of groundbreaking solutions on the energetic field. This work aims to build this base on which the Italian electric system could fund new regulation on the demand response (DR) procedures, including the influence on the ancillary services (AS) market and the overall framework for new generations. To do so, a review on several geographic zones and markets has been done, in order to compare and extract information and with further analysis, hopefully in the years to come, apply and design the regulation for the Italian case. The general procedure included investigate on the economic framework already present on these countries, and the institutions between the customers and the producers, how are they conglomerated, and how does the market behaves and works with these companies.
