Integration of renewables Increased flexibility for the electricity system â&#x20AC;Ś and how to keep the pendulum stable?

RESMAN program (REServe MANagement) Patrick De Leener Elia Group Innovation Partners Day October 25th, 2012

patrick.deleener@elia.be

Some hard facts for more and more EU countriesâ&#x20AC;Ś 1. At peak demand + few wind & sun: structural import needed 2. When low demand + a lot of wind & sun: structural export needed

ď&#x192;¨ 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

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)

In cooperation with auction offices (CASC, CAO, …)

Day Ahead Central clearing for each hour of the next day

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

In cooperation with Power Exchanges (incl implicit allocation of capacity); Important evolution: market coupling

Balancing Real time management of imbalances + financial settlement

TSO’s using ancillary services delivered by generation and demand side

Ensuring the balance of the electricity system: a matter of “and, and, and, …” to enhance flexibility Generation

Distributed Energy Resources Integration into the GRID

Frank Wellens Elia Group Innovation Partners Day October 25th, 2012

frank.wellens@elia.be

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 44

Flexibility needs on DER for Congestion Wallonia

Flexibility needs on DER: balancing vs congestion Different

Functional need

Balancing = global Congestion = local (always DER)

Trigger for flexibility need

Congestion = …”N-1”grid situation? Balancing = …central resources inflexibility Balancing = also low wind and sun&…

Preserving Measures responsability

Avoiding balancing: BRP Avoiding congestion: TSO/DSO (investment)

TSO in near real time (=balancing)

Market offer

Balancing=Liquid, market driven Congestion=scarse, regulated?

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

Providers view

Balancing = acceptable (free to offer) Congestion = acceptable within certain “quality” limits

Same effect on product (decrease/increase consumption/generation)

 Will flexibility needs for balancing and congestion be one “product” in the long term?

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) â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

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.

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).

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.

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 demandresponse 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 Elia Group Innovation Partners Day October 25th, 2012

frederic.dunon@elia.be

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

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”

Professor Dr.-Ing. Kai Strunz www.sense.tu-berlin.de

25 October 2012

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 Professor Dr.-Ing.
