Local Energy Balancing Demand for Germany

摘要

While generating electricity it is necessary to match produced electricity with the amount of energy consumption. Due to the high growth of fluctuating renewable energies in Germany even today there are temporal imbalances between supply and demand which will occur even more often in future. As a part of the joint project both Fraunhofer Institutes for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology (UMSICHT) and Application Centre System Technology (AST) developed a method to determine the local energy balancing demand (EBD) considering regional characteristics, including grid restrictions, for Germany. Therefore local distribution and the kind of imbalances are analysed. In doing so, a positive energy balancing demand is existent if there is a lack of electricity and a negative one is existent if there is a surplus of electricity in the grid.
