Abstract :
The energy system is due to substantial changes by reason of an ongoing decentralization of power supply. A challenge will be to provide ancillary services by distributed units since they are volatile regarding their power feed-in and hard to predict. This paper presents a method that allows for the evaluation of how reliable distributed units can participate in the provision of ancillary service products. This method can be used in order to assess unit coalitions with respect to their reliability.
