  • 4. Results

Overview

  • Importance of the grid: Model endogenous

grid extension significantly reduces demand for storage

  • CHP plants can contribute significant

flexibility

  • DSM will be used to cover peak hours. Will

be valuable only in combination with grid extensions

  • CHP and DSM complement each other well
  • By using CSP imports demand for storages

can be significantly reduced.

  • Long term storages will only become

available if other flexibility options are not used.

Recommendations

> Integrating renewable energy > Frieder Borggrefe > Petten December 4th 2014 www.DLR.de • Chart 20

  • 1. Understand your indicators
  • 2. Get your costs right
  • 3. Understand the sensitivity of your key parameters
  • 4. Don’t underestimate the grid …

… but it is only half the cure

  • 5. Don’t spend to much time on CAES-modelling …

… it is better spend in modelling the heat sector
