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

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

Both should be paid for in future?
Congestions offers will become more
liquid (ANM)?

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
DERIG’s objectives for Elia Belgium (3/4)
• 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
DERIG’s objectives for Elia Belgium (4/4)
• 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]
Elia Group Innovation Partners Day
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

• 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)

3. Role of Universities in ELIA Group Plan
• 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”

3. Role of Universities in ELIA Group Plan
• 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
