Evolution of generation In sunny and windy days Spain is handling more than 90% REN in the system Denmark 16 central+1000 local CHPs+ 8000 wind turbines still growing
Germany today & its High aspirations CO2e emissionsin Mt -80% to -95% -40% -55% -70% • Full decarboinsation of the power sector is needed. • Since nuclear and CCS are highly unlikely options: • Nearly 100% RES by 2050.
Demand Supply Demand curve, France, 1 year. Source: ECF 2010 Problem: Variability • Too little supply causes system instability • Too much supply requires forced shut-downs
Loads in the grid of Vattenfall Transmission (Feb. 2008) Source: Vattenfall transmission Problem: Variability too large for storages?
Transmission grids: reduce variability Variability in NL only: 0-90% Variability in EU27: 10-50%
Demand-response: Shifting peaks and valleys Source: ECF 2010
SmartGrid • Regional, decentral supply • Generation close to demand-centres • Virtual power plants • Final customer load management Source: Smartgrids technology platform
SuperGrid • Wide-area supply • HVDC grid • Stochastic smoothing on different time scales • Access to all good sites Source: Desertec foundation
The grid today- Regulatory failures National regulatory system
Three steps to a European grid Energy planning „What energy will we have in 2050?“ „How much and what grid do we need?“ Grid planning • How do we finance and build the grid in line with • Environmental • Social acceptance • Economic concerns? Grid implementation
What are the challenges? Technical Political Energyplanning Technological outlook 50 years Grid planning Social consensus needed Little experience, new grid models Large EU-wide needs vs. „old“ - procedures - financing Grid implementation Major source of policital risk on„local level“
Legislation & Co:What is currently happening? EU legislation Other Energy planning • Energy Roadmap 2050, Renewables targets 2030, Energy Efficiency Grid planning • ModPEHS/ E-Highways • 10-year-plan • Guidelines for trans-European Energy Infrastructure • „Connecting Europe Facilty“ Grid implementation
Proposed guidelines for trans-European Energy infrastructure „Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)“ Proposal for guidelines for trans-European Energy Infrastructure • EU funding for projects with EU-relevance, 2014-2020 • Continuation of prior Ten-E funding • 9 Bio EUR for Energy • Criteria to select „projects of common European interest“ • Ambitious improvement of permitting procedures for these • Focus on participation • „One stop shop“ • 3-year time limit • Cost allocation between member states • Eligibilty for CEF-funding
