1 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Danish TSO Research and Demonstration Activities towards a Future Smart grid EcoGrid Energinet.dk, PMFU section Programme Coordinator, Lise Nielson Project Coordinator, Jeanette Møller Jørgensen

2 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Energinet.dk is the Danish TSO for the electricity and natural gas grids System responsibilities Transmission system Security of supply Environment Market Economics of the society

3 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Dual focus in the PMFU-section: Environment and R&D  PSO R&D in environmentally friendly power production technologies is ForskEL  Environment is registration of the effects on the environment from the heat and power generation  Internal coordination of Energinet.dk’s in-house R&D is ForskIN  Research related to the gas transmission grid is ForskNG ForskEL Miljø ForskIN ForskNG

4 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly NordicDK Germany TWh Consumption Border between hydropower and thermal power dominated systems Denmark – a small part of a large electricity market Large market and system benefits from strong connections to neighbouring areas! WIND

5 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Primary Production Capacity Primary production plants Local plants Wind turbines Development from the 1980s Local Production Capacity

7 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Slogan time.. Unbundle the electricity sector Unravel the grid Unleash the renewable energy

8 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly A Smart Grid must develop from these principles: Strong grid connections to allow for increased flow of electric power and energy from production to consumption, also across national borders System services made deliverable from all grid connected generation capacity to secure system robustness Establishing of a comprehensive communications architecture, to allow for regulation and monitoring of all generation and consumption Smart utilisation of renewable energy. Especially solar, wind, waves and other fluctuating production must be regulated directly as well as indirectly via forecasts and planning Intelligent regulation and increase of power consumption. Develop a realistic expectation of customer driven demand response and find the regional optimum for substitution of fossil generation capacity Evolution of market products to support the smart grid development

9 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly What is a smart grid? A smart grid can handle ­embedded generation ­high penetration of renewable energy (>50%) ­customer driven demand response It offers very high security of supply, with fully transparent energy prices Smart grids tie the knot between electricity market economy and widely distributed ownership of generation infrastructure by mobilising demand response

10 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly ? ? Phase 1 PSO project Phase 2 ForskIN Phase 3 ForskIN+EU PSO apply Start phase Writing end 2011 ? ? EU SmartGrid project with European partnership participation Case testing in Denmark Now, until end 2012 EU application Project leader = Kjeld Nørregaard, Danish Technological Institute Energinet.dk Annual System plan, data platform, and other activities will provide information to and from EcoGrid.dk Danish participation: 1 TSO, 1 University, 1-2 Industry partners Cooperation Coordinator = Lise Nielson, Energinet.dk

11 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly Denmark shows the way: From national to European focus Danish laboratory for full scale demonstration applicable to major part of Europe Danish experience combined with international expertise Bornholm as an example

12 LNI & JMJ, SmartGrid 2nd General Assembly The Energy forecast project “The Energy forecast” with the spot market prices for the following day airs every evening right after the weather forecast on TV2-news at 19:30. It is then possible for families to rake the prices into account, to postpone a load of laundry until the night or turning off the floor heater a few hours when the price is high.
