Integration of renewables

Increased flexibility for the electricity system

… and how to keep the pendulum stable?

Patrick De Leener [email protected]


October 25th, 2012

RESMAN program

(REServe MANagement)

25

Some hard facts for more and more EU countries…

1. At peak demand + few wind & sun: structural import needed

2. When low demand + a lot of wind & sun: structural export needed

Market functioning in a European context is essential for the European electricity system

Horizon 2020 (BE-DE-NL)

- RES (wind, solar) will represent more than 50% peak demand

- RES capacity will continue to increase: > x3 in next 10 years

26

Integration of RES: need for a cost-effective adaptation of grids for 2020…

~€104 bn investments, to be compared with

2% of the bulk power prices and

less than 1% increase of end-users’ E-bills

+1.3% per year grid length to match

a major shift in generation mix and

+3% p.a. of generation capacity growth

… and implemention of a EU wholesale market model

NWE

Forward

Year ahead/ Month ahead (capacity auctions by TSO’s)

Day Ahead

Central clearing for each hour of the next day

Intraday

Continous adaptation of positions until 1- 2 hours before real time

Balancing

Real time management of imbalances + financial settlement

In cooperation with

auction offices

(CASC, CAO, …)

In cooperation with Power Exchanges

(incl implicit allocation of capacity);

Important evolution: market coupling

TSO’s using

ancillary services

RESMAN programme

RESMAN provides the vision and architecture of the future balancing market and integrates different solutions for balancing our systems

Define a vision and architecture for the future

balancing system & balancing market

… involving new players: aggregators, balancing

service providers (BSP)

… for seamless integration of national market

to (future) European market

Design & develop new products (energy & capacity) to

be provided by current & innovative technologies

Better capture existing sources of flexibility

Investigate new sources of flexibility (RES, DER,

Active demand, Storage, EVs,…)

High priorities

31

RESMAN programme

Dimension our reserves optimally

Develop new methods & tools to optimal dimension

the reserves needed for maintaining system stability…

… considering large share of variable generation &

demand, as well as of converter-connected devices

… according to appropriate reliability criteria, source

from within and beyond our control area

Implementation of a dynamic reserve management:

Methodology and tools for dynamic management of

reserves & flexibility…

…linking with appropriate observability of balancing

needs and…

… taking into account reserve requirements, technical

capabilities, availability, grid constraints,…

To be developed in the future

Distributed Energy Resources Integration into the GRID

Frank Wellens [email protected]


October 25th, 2012

1. What it is all about at Elia…

“Decentralized energy resources – integration into the grid “

• “energy resource”

decentralized production, demand facilities, storage

Offering flexibility for balancing & congestion

• “decentralized”

≥30kV = local transmission: covered by Elia tools & mechanism

<30kV = distribution: tools & mechanisms to be developped

• “Integration into the grid”

In an economic acceptable way

Planning and forecast needs

Technical needs

Market needs

The Elia DERIG program DERIG is a R&D program in the

innovation action plan to answer

mainly :

• The balancing needs from DER

and will partly contribute to

answer :

• The infrastructure needs (linked

to DER)

• The needs for new knowledge

DERIG is focusing on the “local

TSO/DSO grids” and will interact with

the other programs RESMAN, OPFUT,

STORAGE, GRIDFUT, POWERTECH,

KNOWFUT

53

Objectives of DERIG (1/4)

• Demonstrate how to integrate Decentralized Energy Resources into the grids with a view to ensuring flexibility for both system operators and market players;

• Define new standards for increasing interoperability among all the parties;

• Develop novel grid planning and operation approaches

in order to facilitate the deployment of DER.

54

DERIG’s objectives for Elia Belgium (2/4)

• Develop a methodology and tools for integrating distributed generation in the transmission system at grid development level and operational planning :

These should focus on the specific nature of TSO/DSO interaction and should be based on risk-based reliability criteria.

Demonstrate strategies to maximize system utilization and active management of the network

including new technologies such as Dynamic Line Rating (DLR).

55


• Identify, select or develop tools for local congestion management due to a high concentration of RES in specific areas :

Develop a methodology and tools for the supervision and control of DER production for implementing an Active Network Management (ANM) strategy along with DSOs.

Demonstrate these solutions with the regional DSOs and regulators.

56


• Facilitate the involvement of DER in future balancing markets

• Design business models and market mechanisms for the trading of ancillary services provided by DERs or active demand through different participants (suppliers, aggregators, DSOs, prosumer DSOs, BRPs).

• Integrate demand flexibility into the system through demand-response mechanisms and

• Demonstrate such integration.

• Make recommendations to the legal and regulatory bodies on the implementation of the proposed business models and electricity markets.

GRIDFUT - Grid of the Future

Frédéric Dunon [email protected]


October 25th, 2012

Some quotes EC Roadmap 2050 (85% reduction of energy related CO2 emissions compared to 1990: “Our current energy system and ways of producing, transforming and consumming energy

seem unsustainable for the future due to high GHG emissions, security of supply risks and competitiveness risks related to high energy costs and underinvestments”

“The composition of energy mix would differ significantly in a decarbonised system with

strong increase in RES in all scenarios (up to 60% share of RES in primary energy consumption) ”

EC: “EC will as a matter of priority promote demand response, including the roll out of smart grids

and meters and the development od demand response services and promote the integration of storage and flexible generation”

EC: “All Member States can benefit from a coordinated approach to assessing generation adequacy

in the internal market” EC: “To avoid the risk that competition distorted and ensure that renewable energy resources are

developed cost effectively, the Commission announced that it plans to prepare guidance on best practice and experience gained in renewable energy support schemes...”

In Germany: “nuclear moratorium in 2011... DC backbones in 2020” NSCOGI: “Even with relatively small volumes of offshore RES expected in the North Seas between

2020 and 2030 in the reference scenario some meshing emerged, particularly in the Channel” EC Roadmap 2050: “All policy options require more and more sophisticated energy infrastructures” “ Discussion about policies for 2020 – 2030 should start now” “The Skagerrak 4 link shows that voltages up to 500kV are currently possible. Therefore it would

appear that a ±500kV, 2000MW system could be procured, installed and commissioned by 2017. Cigre foresee no technical obstacles to developing and constructing VSC HVDC converters for very high voltage and power (e.g. 600kV, 3000MW)”

60

Main consequences

- Bulk transmission capacity

- Massive RES integration

- Integration of controllable devices

- System flexibility

- Uncertainties

Need of infrastructure and software both developed in a smart way

- Acceptability

- Governance

61

multiple scenarios

GRIDFUT provides the methods and tools in order to develop the pan-EU grid

subject to massive RES integration and numerous uncertainties

Market Design Develop a vision on how market could support an optimal use

of the available and to be developed infrastructure.

• Facilitating the deployment of grid infrastructure by leveraging on synergies with other infrastructures, collaborating with the community and enhancing grid technologies

62

Conclusions

• Knowledge is very broad

• Time dependent

• Anchoring is more than storing

• Too much person dependent often (people move within the company but also in the knowledge surroundings)

• Exchange of human resources (e.g. German system of professors coming out of industry, guest professors for specific courses)

• E-MERGE Smart Grid Lab at TU Berlin• Co-operation with European

Institute of Technology EIT




• ELIA Group´s “Innovation & Knowledge: Projecting Ideas, Delivering Solutions is

an excellent way forward

• Universities are eager to strongly support both theme thrusts “Balancing Needs”

and “Infrastructure Needs”

• Universities can play a key role in supporting the three approach pillars of

“Expertise Know-how”, “Partnership”, “Innovation Culture”

7




• Expertise Know-how: To best leverage know-how, one could affiliate core topics

with core partner universities

• Affiliation could be made based on modeling capability

• Partnership: Is an important element of

Preserving know-how

Extending know-how

Leveraging know-how

• Universities help to do so through research and education

• Beyond bilateral agreements between partners, co-operation in the context of

national and EU projects can provide very high value

• In such EU projects, universities would need to reach minimum critical

involvement to be effective

• Innovation Culture: is important and needs dedication for a good period to pay off

• Universities can be a key supporter of that pillar, too
