Title: Complementarities of supply and demand sides in integrated energy systems

Abstract

New small-scale demand-side technologies, such as micro combined heat and power technologies (uCHPs) and heat pumps (HPs), offer opportunities to increase system-wide efficiency. Furthermore, the technical and economic characteristics of demand-side technologies could also complement the supply side by providing system services, such as adequacy and flexibility, which are increasingly required due to high variable renewable energy penetration. A capacity expansion methodology that captures the interactions between the supply and demand sides is developed to find cost-optimal and adequate investment portfolios. For the case study presented, the integrated energy system leverages the technical and economic complementarities of different supply and demand-side technologies. As a result, system integration using demand-side technologies improves the value proposition for decentralization given that the technologies can provide heat demand, while also meeting electricity demand and providing adequacy and flexibility.

Decentralized control of units in smart grids for the support of renewable energy supply

Journal Article Sonnenschein, Michael ; Lünsdorf, Ontje ; Bremer, Jörg ; ... - Environmental Impact Assessment Review

Due to the significant environmental impact of power production from fossil fuels and nuclear fission, future energy systems will increasingly rely on distributed and renewable energy sources (RES). The electrical feed-in from photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind energy converters (WEC) varies greatly both over short and long time periods (from minutes to seasons), and (not only) by this effect the supply of electrical power from RES and the demand for electrical power are not per se matching. In addition, with a growing share of generation capacity especially in distribution grids, the top-down paradigm of electricity distribution is gradually replaced bymore »« less

Integrating Demand Response and Distributed Resources in Planning for Large-scale Renewable Energy Integration

Conference Alsonte, Peter ; Piette, Mary Ann ; Schwartz, Peter

The electricity grid is transitioning from a centralized and uncoordinated set of large generators and loads to a framework that also includes decentralized and coordinated "distributed energy resources" (DER). Advances in renewable generation, energy storage, efficiency, and controls technology present a significant opportunity for demand-side investment that is matched to the needs of the future grid infrastructure and operations, but the complex interplay of controls technology and grid operations makes estimating and realizing the potential of DER a significant challenge. Supply curves for conserved energy have long been used to synthesize energy efficiency opportunities for electricity system planners and showmore »« less

The Demand-Side Opportunity: The Roles of Distributed Solar and Building Energy Systems in a Decarbonized Grid

Technical Report O'Shaughnessey, Eric ; Shah, Monisha

Building energy systems represent a significant and largely untapped demand-side grid resource. Buildings use about 75% of electricity in the United States, including around 80% of peak demand, meaning that changes in building energy use have significant implications for grid operations. Building energy technologies-including energy-efficient devices, flexible loads, and energy storage-can be coordinated and aggregated to perform similar functions as centralized grid assets. Recent advances in information and communication (ICT) technologies have significantly improved building energy technology automation, coordination, and aggregation capabilities. With declining costs and technological advances, building energy systems can increasingly compete with conventional grid assets such asmore »« less

Economical and Engineering Aspects of Proactive Demand Participation: Centralized versus Bilateral Control Structure

Technical Report Yu, Nanpeng ; Dubey, Anamika ; Liu, Chen-Ching

The electric grid of the U.S. is evolving from a system characterized by large and centralized fossil-fueled power plants and passive customers to a network with high penetration of distributed energy resources and proactive customers. This project facilitated the evolution of the U.S. electric power grid by enabling proactive participation of demands in electricity market at the power distribution system level. This project has three major achievements. First, we designed a centralized distribution system operator managed electricity market and developed a three-phase alternating current optimal power flow algorithm to coordinate the operation of large-scale flexible loads and distributed energy resources.more »« less

Value-based need for local demand- and supply-side investments

Book Stein, V

Ontario Hydro produces over 90% of the electricity used in Ontario. The system load peaks in winter at about 24,000 MW, and has an annual load factor of about 68%. Various areas in the Province are approaching the limits of the regional transmission facilities and transformer capacities to serve local residents growing demand for electricity. In response to this. Ontario Hydro, in conjunction with the affected municipal utilities, is undertaking Local Integrated Resource Planning initiatives to find the most desirable plan of demand-side management (DSM) programs, transmission & distribution (T&D) upgrades, and local generation considering the needs of each area.more »« less
