Successful adoption of distributed clean energy resources requires the enhancement of system flexibility from both the generation and the demand side. This paper presents a case study on the Punggol Digital District of Singapore exploring both distributed generation, storage, and demand side flexibility. The distributed generation resources investigated include rooftop photovoltaic systems and waste-to-electricity generation via hydrogen and fuel cell technology. In the urban use case, the local demand to be served far exceeds the local distributed clean energy generation potential. Therefore in this context, flexibility is the key added value of collective self-consumption, which could be leveraged as a valuable grid service in the city-state to support the integration of variable renewable energy resources. In this context, this work presents the assessment of the flexibility that can be provided by the cooling demand and electric vehicles by the control of respective demand-side resources.
