DEMO 2 DERINT (Leader: DONG)

www.twenties-project.eu

Virtual Power Plants is a new source of

flexibility to the power system

Virtual Power Plants will create services out

of controlling distributed energy resources

Power Hub is almost just

another power plant

Power Hub delivers services to

several markets just like

traditional power plants and with

the same reliability

Each distributed energy resource

(DER) serves multiple purposes

in the VPP, and can produce

several service dependent of type

of DER

Power Hub controls the DERs

under full respect for the DERs

primary purpose

The Virtual Power Plant is extended during the project

www.twenties-project.eu

Building the VPP

In the first year of the project

focus was on building the VPP:

• Building the conceptual

solution, including the IT

solution

• Attracting and installing control

of the DERs

• Running the daily operation,

selling and producing services

by optimizing the DERs

Year 2 Year 3 Year 1

Extended functionality and size

Just before the beginning of the

second year, the VPP started

selling its services to the market.

The second year’s objectives was

to continue the development of

the VPP, by adding more

functionality to the VPP and

increase the size of the VPP.

The VPP is now able to interface

to many different types of DERs,

by using a generic driver, and

the VPP is active in more

markets.

Innovative diversified offerings

The third year’s focus will be on

demonstrating the full potential of

the VPP technology,

demonstrating new and

innovative VPP services:

• Delivering virtual inertia at the

Faroe Islands in order to

reduce the number of black

outs.

• Delivering local reactive power

control.

In addition to this more DERs will

be added, both on the consump-

tion and production side, including

integration of wind power into the

portfolio.

Power Hub is productive and it works

The VPP responds better to grid incidents

than Dong Energy Power's portfolio

The need for DC breakers

Without DC breakers

fault any on the DC grid would need

to be cleared from the AC side of all

terminal

Lots of power lost

With DC fault location and DC

breakers, only the faulted branch

would be lost

Other branches can still transfer

power

What performance is required of a

DC breaker?

and what is the likely cost?

DC breakers add

significantly to the cost

of the H-Grid

Incremental offshore capacity

in addition to the radial links

lowers operational costs

Including a

cost for

unsupplied

energy

has a

major

impact

A net benefit accrues to the H-Grid

when either DC breaker costs are

excluded or unsupplied energy

costs are included (or both)

Preliminary findings

The benefits of increasing offshore network capacity to wind energy

production and use are clear but what form that network capacity

should take is uncertain

The cost of DC breakers will be a critical factor

Understanding the variability of flows across a meshed offshore

network is critical to optimisation

Creating the business case for offshore grids is challenging

Development of offshore wind generation and offshore network

capacity must be accompanied by measures to price carbon at an

appropriate level

Quantify the reduction or increase of the power losses within the

distribution network

The increase of the losses profile in HNet and in MNet depends on the

characteristics of the network evaluated

In a distribution network with a significant common infrastructure

(HNet) the optimal operation corresponds to wind farms generating

reactive power

In distribution networks with a small common infrastructure the

optimal operation of the wind farms is that they consume the

reactive power generated in their own infrastructure

For common distribution networks that allocate wind farms, the loss

reduction is not very significant.

• Find Economic impact of demo 5

• Transit capability of existing transmission network will be enhanced:

• The result may be an increase in the NTC between neighboring countries

• The aim of the study is the assessment of the economical balance of this changes (impact on market prices) at a cross-border scale including Benelux, France and Germany

Main objective

• Cost-benefits assessment (CBA) • Benefits in terms of « Total Welfare » provided by the DLR vs costs to implement it

• Only cross-border effects assessed (no internal reinforcements benefits evaluated, only trade effects)

Simulate possible system states (boundary

conditions) under which wind may be curtailed

For each case, compute the amount of wind

curtailment (local wind power that cannot be

evacuated due to line overloading)

How wind curtailment is reduced when line

capacity limits are increased due to:

FACTS (line reactance sensitivities)

RTTR (line capacity sensitivities)

Preliminary findings and conclusions WP17 (1)

1. Coordinating overall cable route evaluation

Transnational cable routes are subject to partial evaluation of route sections at fairly

local level.

WP17 recommends that cooperation agreements with and between national planning

authorities are entered to facilitate overall and holistic evaluation of cable route

design.

Mediation with competing sea users,

primarily nature conservation, shipping

interest and other infrastructures

Preliminary findings and conclusions WP17 (2)

2. The EIA is a transnational reference

The Environmental Impact Assessment is applied by all planning authorities and may

serve as a common skeleton.

WP17 recommends that a common road map for EIA studies is applied with shared

practices for scoping of studies and documentation.

Note that impacts from cable installation and operation seem fairly limited. Up to date

cable installation disturbs less than a meter band in the seabed.

Preliminary findings and conclusions WP17 (3)

3. Best available technology as reference

The cable technologies and impacts are very similar from the one project to the other.

In practice there is a lot of repetitive work when preparing documentation for

planning consents.

WP17 recommends that best available technologies are nominated by a transnational

body.

Preliminary findings and conclusions WP17 (4)

4. Benefits of interconnectors are to be recognised against competing

interests

The socio-economic justification of interconnectors is weak when balancing with

Natura2000 sites, shipping and other sea uses.

WP17 recommends that interconnectors need to be recognized as vital infrastructure

for renewable electricity.

Preliminary findings and conclusions WP17 (5)

5. Early screening of route design is preferable

Maritime spatial plans with corridors and gates for preferential use may partly serve

as tool for cable routing.

WP17 recommends that, next to master plan for offshore grids, also tools for

mediating and possibly acceptance of routes in restricted zones are necessary

(co-existence with other sea uses).
