„… ability to respond to – and to balance – supply and demand under rapid and large imbalances...“ [Gracceva & Zeniewski, 2014] “…expresses the extent to which a power system can modify electricity production or consumption in response to variability, expected or otherwise.” [IEA, 2011]

Flexibility…

Institute for Energy and Climate Research Systems Analysis and Technology Evaluation (IEK-STE) [IEA, 2012]

Different definitions of flexibility of energy systems exist.

The need to address flexibility

Institute for Energy and Climate Research Systems Analysis and Technology Evaluation (IEK-STE)

Past

High share of thermal power plants = sufficient flexibility

Trend

Increasing share of volatile renewable energy sources (RES) = (short- and long-term) uncertainties

Source

Mainly forecast deviations (i.e. wind feed-in, electricity exchange, end-use demand, fuel prices)

Options

Demand response, grid and storage expansion, excess capacity, curtailment of RES

Previous sources of flexibility decrease. New sources and options need to be taken into account in analysis approaches.

  • Full energy system
  • Technology-rich (bottom-up)
  • Medium- to long-term, multiple period time horizon
  • Aggregation
  • Temporal = time slices (i.e. from 6 to 144)
  • Spatial = limited number of regions

Typical characteristics of energy system models

  • Unidirectional
  • Case study: Ireland, 2020
  • Motivation of coupling: accepting that one specific modelling

tool cannot model everything

  • Results:
  • Crosschecking the technical appropriateness
  • Most important technical constraint = start costs

interdependencies

between national & European power plant expansions

General:

  • Global optimum
  • Convergence in iterative model coupling (bang-bang)
  • Computational capacity requirements (hard- & software, time)
  • Expertise in each modelling tool
  • Data basis
  • Obligation of confidentiality (in collaborations)
  • Different base years/ calibration (possibly high effort)
  • Different methods (i.e. costs & end user prices)

  • Spatial
  • RES (repowering, potential,

investment decisions/ capability)

  • Demand (demographic/ migration

movement, economic growth, behaviour, public perception)

  • Method
  • Objective function
  • Discount rate
  • Basic assumptions of approaches
  • System boundary
  • Packages of measures/

technology types

  • Technical assumptions (CHP 

heat led? )

  • Impact of different sectoral detail

level on model results

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Mitglied der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft

  • Flexibility need to be addressed in energy system models
  • Several approaches exist to address flexibility in energy

system models

  • Model coupling is one approach to address flexibility
  • Different types and dimensions of model coupling exist
  • One of the biggest challenges: enough capacity (time,

human resources, hard-/software, data) to cover the scales of model coupling

  • Possible correlations with uncertainties of other time horizons

(compared to flexibility) should be additionally taken into account
