Research Questions: Will new plants be flexible?

Incentives for investment and operation from

  • Taxes
  • Subsidies
  • Electricity distribution grid tariffs

And what role do heat storages play? ?

LCOH: Production cost of heat, before revenue from consumers

Breakdown of subsidies, taxes, tariffs and other elements

Results: 6-7000 FLH baseload on CHP in all cases with heat storage

Net Heat Production Cost (NHPC) versus Electricity Spot Price (Start costs excluded) Electricity Spot Price [EUR/MWh-el] 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 NHPC [EUR/MWh-heat] 120 100 80 60 40 20 Oil boiler Electric boiler Bio CHP HeatPump

Bio CHP always cheaper

Results: High capacity charges can eliminate demand-response

Energy charge tariff (EUR/MWh) allows demand-response Capacity charge tariff (EUR/MW/month) eliminates demand-response

Conclusion: Will new plants be flexible?

Taxes

  • Only marginal impact on operation from CHP

and electric boilers in this configuration Subsidies

  • Crucial for investment in flexible district

heating Electricity distribution grid tariffs

  • High capacity charges (EUR/MW) can

eliminate demand-response What role do heat storages play?

  • No regrets for investment and operation

Electricity price

EXTRA: Why capacity tariffs can be bad for flexibility

12 000 EUR x 10 MW = 120 000 EUR 10 MW x 3 hours = 30 MWh 120 000 EUR/30 MWh = 4 000 EUR/MWh Standard house 18 MWh/year = 72 000 EUR/year Example: 10 MW electric boiler, which pays to dispatch when electricity spot price is 7 EUR/MWh Completely infeasible to
