Current and future electricity sector

based on the PRIMES reference scenario, IPM energy modelling:

EU energy demand rises from 3,300 TWh in 2010 to 4,920 TWh in 2050 peak demand rises from 500 GW in 2008 to 740 GW in 2050 (~+1% p.a.) Western and Northern regions show lower growth (except for Spain, Belgium and Ireland) Eastern countries show higher growth

Renewables take over

renewables generation rises from 19% in 2010 to 32% in 2020 and 50% by 2050 mostly wind power: 5 % of total generation in 2010 to 25% in 2050

  • ther sources less dominant:

solar ~ 6% in 2050 significant Biomass and Hydropower

  • ther renewables (geothermanl, fuel cell, etc.) ~3% in 2050

but very significant regional differences (East/West and North/ South)

GHG emissions from power generation

falling from 1,200 Mio. t in 2010 to 670 Mio. t in 2050 linked to an increase in carbon prices and to a large share of renewables

Basic principles of the electricity system

electricity cannot be stored in the grid electricity generation has to match exactly power demand in each moment in time, otherwise voltage imballances occur power sources have different degrees of flexibility

time needed to reach operating capacity time needed to reach efficient power generation costs of shut down and restart

slide-9
SLIDE 9

www.ecologic.eu

Basic principles of the electricity system

electricity providers face the task to match the load profile with the least costly selection of power plants

dispatching of power plants according to the marginal cost of power generation (usually nuclear and wind) flattening load curves to reduce the need to adapt power supply

reduced peak loads leading to lower peak production costs

establishing a better coordination better power sources and sinks

reduced excess generation capacities preventing negative prices Smart Grid Technologies

Increasing shares of renewables

wind has low marginal costs, but is highly intermittent

  • ver 10,000 GW of additional wind capacity installed in EU 27 (2009)

need for back-up generating capacity (mostly gas)

wind can be disconnected and re-connected on a very short-term basis but: priority grid access for renewables

constraint on dispatching (other constraints can be CHP, such as in DK) impact: over-supply of wind energy at times of high wind and low demand result: negative electricity prices (-120€/MWh in December 2009 in DK)

The way out…

different approaches are feasible:

  • a. transfer of excess electricity
  • b. storage of excess electricity
  • c. demand management / demand control

with different opportunities and challenges and different implications for EV integration

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 12

slide-13
SLIDE 13

www.ecologic.eu

Transfer of excess electricity

national electricity grids are interconnected through

European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E)

transmission capacities are designed for small scale balancing transfers, not for large scale transmission of excess capacities bottlenecks are already reached, especially in times of high wind (DK > DE or DE > PL)

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

www.ecologic.eu

Transfer of excess electricity

need for significant investment in additional transmission capacity

Commissioner Oettinger estimated total investment needs in energy sector to be 1 trillion € by 2020 (07 October 2010) Strategic Energy Sector Information system (SETIS) expects 400 to 450 billion € until 2040 in grid investments (25% transmission, 75% distribution)

need for legal framework to support new transmission lines need for political support for new transmission lines

at EU and MS level

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 14

slide-15
SLIDE 15

www.ecologic.eu

Transfer of excess electricity

upgrading the transmission system:

high voltage direct current (HVDC) long distance and undersea cables flexible alternative current transmission systems (FACTS) gas insulated lines (GIL) high temperature superconducting (HTS) cables

additional transmission capacity: 50 to 70 GW (300% increase) by 2050 also, 10 to 15% additional back-up generating capacity needed (ECF)

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 15

Storage of excess electricity

pump storage

currently in use low capacities (max 6.7 GWel in DE, one plant ~8.5 GWh)

compressed air storage

under development very high potential capacity (~3TWh)

battery storage, such as EVs

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 16

slide-17
SLIDE 17

www.ecologic.eu

EV as flexible sinks

EVs as one-way storage or flexible sinks 1 million EVs ~ 10 GWh or stored electricity

initially limited storage potential in GWh (at least until 2020) not permanently available (use requirements, load condition of battery) but significant short term balancing potential

in DE, currently 7GW 1 million EVs can absorb up to 3GW regulating energy high potential for grid stabilisation / regulation

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 17

slide-18
SLIDE 18

www.ecologic.eu

Why not Vehicle to Grid (V2G)?

faster cycling of EV batteries increased wear and tear of batteries (costs) shorter lifetime

very high costs for V2G

  • nly very high incentives would overcome this barrier

car owners require final control over battery to ensure mobility and accessibility of their EV

Impacts of EV charging

100% EVs ~ 223 million cars (EU 27 today) with 20 kWh/ 100km and 10,000km yearly mileage

2,000 kWh annual energy per car total fleet consumption 446 TWh i.e. total electricity increases by 13%

total electricity need not likely to become an issue for a long time

Impacts of EV charging

peak and off-peak charging

for 1 million EVs

  • ff-peak charging successfully

avoids an increase in peak load for small numbers of EVs

2/2/2011 Brussels, Electric Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop – Max Grünig 23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

www.ecologic.eu

Impacts of EV charging

no bottlenecks at the transmission level (even for uncontrolled charging in the initial time) potential bottlenecks at the distribution level constraints are more in the domain of the hourly load profile than in total energy consumption additional risks due to geographical clustering (suburbia, male, high income)

similar charging patterns

Grid resilience

European distribution grids feature different degrees of grid resilience:

differentiated picture, most issues in new Member States and the Med

Underperformers Best-in-class Estonia Denmark Hungary Germany Lithuania Netherlands Poland Latvia

slide-26

www.ecologic.eu

Impacts of EV charging

assuming 3 kW charging (at 10 kW, very different picture) in MS with mature distribution grids, no risks for initial roll-out in MS with weak distribution grids, severe risks for initial roll-out but: not all MS anticipate EV uptake at similar levels

hot spots: France, Netherlands, UK, Germany, Denmark attention should focus on potential issues in these lead markets

UK, Italy, Spain

long-term: high investment needs in a large number of MS (East and South)

Different charging options

Currently, three basic systems are competing for market dominance in EV charging:

charging with household connections (110 to 220 V AC at 30 kW) so-called fast-charging (300-600 V DC, at more than 40kW) battery swap systems

In addition, there are a number of developments proposing a contactless inductive charging process.

Monitoring of EV charging

Option Application Strength Weakness Residential smart meter Residential charging Detailed use of consumer energy use for electric vehicles Privacy issues; Manipulation issues; Requires more widespread use of smart meters Commercial data collection Commercial charging Relatively easy and cost effective to implement because most utilities are already collecting the information No individual car data available Tachographs/ onboard communication devices installed in vehicles Residential and commercial vehicles Provides a detailed picture of vehicle activities; Activities could be analysed or taxed according to use (i.e., higher taxes for driving during peak periods); Some car manufacturers already install communication devices Costly and burdensome to implement; Privacy issues; Manipulation issues

Monitoring of EV charging

first impressions:

On Board using digital tachograph – very costly and issues with data protection (but feasible if combined with km-road-charge) Monitoring through separate metering at dedicated (public) charging stations (viable option) Monitoring through smart metering (preferred option)

EV taxation

Direct versus indirect taxation

Indirect taxation preferable Power providers submit data and pass on tax burden to the final customer.

Smart metering allows tax discrimination of transport electricity and can thus maintain revenue equilibrium Similarly, per-km road-charging can achieve revenue equilibrium

Discussion

No bottlenecks at total electricity demand / transmission level? No issues for mature distribution grids (F, NL, DE, DK)? Severe risks for weak distribution grids (UK, IT, ES)? No viable business model for EV charging, yet? Which standard for EV charging? Which approach to EV monitoring / metering? Need for perspective on electricity taxation (customers expect a cheap fuel), which way: per-km charging or electricity metering?
