Wind Power Integration

Project Summary

Full Title: Large-Scale Integration of Wind Power into Different Energy Systems
Project ID: 124
Principal Investigator: Henrik Lund

Purpose

The analysis presents the ability of different energy systems and regulation strategies to integrate wind power. The results make it possible to compare short-term and long-term potentials of different strategies of large-scale integration of wind power.

Project Description

Type of Project: Analysis
Category: Energy Infrastructure
Objectives: Based on the Danish energy system, in which 50% of the electricity demand is produced in CHP, a number of future energy systems with CO2 reduction potentials are analysed, i.e. systems with more CHP, systems using electricity for transportation (battery or hydrogen vehicles) and systems with fuel-cell technologies.
Inputs:
  • Description: Energy systems and regulation strategies are analyzed in the range of a wind power input from 0 to 100% of the electricity demand.
Outputs: The ability of different energy systems and regulation strategies to integrate wind power is expressed by the following three factors: the degree of electricity excess production caused by fluctuations in wind and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) heat demands, the ability to utilize wind power to reduce CO2 emission in the system, and the ability to benefit from exchange of electricity on the market.
