Mix of power system flexibility means providing 50 wind power penetration in the Danish power system in 2030

摘要

Time series simulations of an example of a realistic modified energy system in Denmark 2030, assuming no internal power transmission bottlenecks, indicates that it is both technical possible and economic feasible to maintain the energy balance on hourly basis, even with a wind power penetration of 50+ %. The analysis was made in 2006 as part of the study Energy Plan 2030 under the Danish Society of Engineers, IDA , using the EnergyPLAN model, developed by Aalborg University, Denmark . The paper presents the actual mix of means used in the simulation, best meeting the objectives defined for the study – high security of energy supply, substantial CO2 emission reduction and increased Danish technology business.
