Summary
Distribution networks are evolving with the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), shifting from passive systems to active participants in the power grid. To help distribution system operators (DSOs) maintain quality operation, ancillary services,traditionally used at the transmission level, are now increasingly needed in distribution grids. These services support frequency, voltage, loading, and black start capabilities. This work proposes a Multiperiod

Simulations were conducted on a 90-bus test feeder, a real grid in Curitiba, Brazil, and a Barigui Park microgrid pilot. Results show that
MPOPF can coordinate optimal dispatch and operation of ancillary services, supporting reliable and flexible grid management. A digital twin of the Barigui Park microgrid was also developed for real-time testing, including communication with the utility's SCADA system via IEC 608705-104. This approach aids understanding of microgrid operations and DSO integration, offering multiple perspectives for planning and managing active distribution networks.
