More and more countries world-wide are targeting high shares of wind and solar photovoltaics in their electricity mix. To integrate high shares of these variable renewable energy sources, the electricity system needs to become more flexible in order to balance supply and demand at all times. The webinar will discuss key design features of future electricity markets, including incentives for more flexible fossil-fuel based and renewable-based power generation, modifications to the design of electricity markets, incentives for more flexible demand, and storage options.
Auctioning RE projects: Lessons learned from auction design for renewable ele...Leonardo ENERGY
This session is part of the Clean Energy Regulators Initiative Webinar Programme.
Theme 7 - Promotion of RE Technologies
Module 6: Auctioning RE projects
An increasing number of countries world-wide are using auctions to procure renewable energy sources in the electricity sector. More than 60 countries had held renewable energy auctions as of early 2015. The webinar explains crucial design features and the important lessons learned from various jurisdictions around the world. The webinar will also highlight potential combinations of of auctions with other support mechanisms. For instance, feed-in tariffs can be applied for smaller-scale projects and RE auctions can trigger investment in larger-scale projects.
Germany is Europe’s biggest energy consumer. As a large and industrial country with moderate natural endowments, it sets an example of what can be done with a progressive energy policy. Germany leads the charge on renewables, has an ambitious energy efficiency policy, is committed to phasing out nuclear power generation and uses ETS revenues fully for the fight against climate change. However, the future of the German energy transition is rather uncertain. Are energy prices sustainable with the current high taxation rates? How to expand the high-voltage grid to integrate wind generation from the North? What will be the future role of coal and gas? This webinar presentation reviews the most important energy statistics for Germany, focussed on a few highlights of its energy policy and concludes with a series of open discussion points.
Energy efficiency: a profit center for companies! Leonardo ENERGY
Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the ener-gy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and fi-nancial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Ener-gy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collabora-tion Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public program-mers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Am-sterdam.
Relying almost entirely on energy from variable renewable energy sources (vRES) will require a transformation in the way power systems are planned and operated. This webinar will present the report "Power System Strategic Flexibility Roadmap". This work outlines steps for overcoming the challenges in creating power systems with the flexibility needed to maintain system security and reliability while relying primarily on variable energy resources. The work is largely a synthesis of the many reports and studies on this subject. It seeks to summarize that body of work for a less technical audience that will need to put in place the policies, technical changes, and institutional systems necessary to make the power system of the future a reality. For this work we gathered opinions from a dedicated power system flexibility advisory panel, through two meetings, e- mail exchanges, and an online survey.

Framework conditions for the integration of flexibility options Leonardo ENERGY
Until high RES-E shares are reached flexibility is not a bottleneck. However, it is important to actually develop the options that have been modelled to increase efficiency in the short-term and provide the options needed in the long-term.
To provide an efficient amount of flexibility barriers that distort competition, hinder options from entering the market or create unnecessary demand need to be adressed.
The presentation provides an overview of the relevant areas that affect the development of flexibility options as well as suggestions on how the framework for flexibility can be designed.

How demand for flexibility will develop in the German power systemLeonardo ENERGY
The Webinar presents the results of a research project on flexibility in the German power sector. It analyses the flexibility demand with a rising share of RES-E and compares different flexibility options.
The project consists of a model-based scenario analysis for 2020, 2030 and 2050 and applies the electricity system model PowerFlex together with a European network model to analyze import and export as a flexibility option.
Flexibility becomes an issue only in the scenario 2030 with 60 % RES-E. In 2020 additional flexibility can increase efficiency, but is not essential to run the system or to integrate RES-E.

Electrification in the energy transition: towards net-zero emissions by 2050Leonardo ENERGY
The European Green Deal envisions a carbon neutral Europe by 2050. Electrification is a powerful tool that can help catapult Europe’s energy transition forward. Accelerated changes are needed in the power, buildings and transport sectors, but they will fail to emerge without robust policies closely aligned with the decarbonisation goal.
In this webinar, Wouter Nijs of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and David Farnsworth of RAP delve into the role that electrification plays in different scenarios for meeting Europe’s climate goals.
Energy efficiency first – retrofitting the building stock finalLeonardo ENERGY
Retrofitting the building stock is a challenging undertaking in many respects - including costs. Can it nevertheless qualify as a measure under the Energy Efficiency First principle? Which methods can be applied for the assessment and what are the results in terms of the cost-effectiveness of retrofitting the entire residential building stock? How do the results differ for minimization of energy use, CO2 emissions and costs? And which policy conclusions can be drawn?
This presentation was used during the 18th webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy on February 3, 2022.

The need to model coupled energy networks to transition to a decarbonized futureLeonardo ENERGY
Webinar recording at https://youtu.be/2A-aVb6OHTE
The coordination between planners and operators of coupled energy systems will allow the further integration of renewable energy sources in the electricity network by storing energy in fuel form over long periods of time using power-to-gas, the recovery and more efficient use of heat, and the decarbonization of industrial processes and transportation modes that can’t be electrified. Energy networks, such as electricity grids and natural gas pipeline networks, have traditionally been planned and operated independently. In order to enhance the integration and coordination of different energy networks, they must be planned and operated in coupled ways. Different energy networks have historically been and are still modelled by different tools. In this presentation we will discuss the need model coupled energy systems in a single framework and we will introduce encoord’s Scenario Analysis Interface for Energy Systems (SAInt), a software application to model, plan, and operate coupled energy networks.
DSM (Demand Side Managament) has changed since it was first introduced in the 1980s as an active policy instrument to make energy systems perform better and more economically. In the years since and primarily in the early years of the new millennium technology has provided new opportunities with smarter applications, decentralised power making use of local renewable sources and with a booming IT for management. We rather talk about Integrated DSM (IDSM).
Policy challenges to make energy systems sustainable and reduce (prevent) climate change has been more pronounced with the Paris accord as the ultimate example. Still market uptake is slow and well beyond expectations (and needs).
It is time for DSM to shape up and deliver!
Speaker for this webinar: Hans Nilsson
* Presents the results of the European Power Quality Survey.
* Estimates costs of wastage generated by inadequate power quality.
* Involved interviews and web-based submissions over 2 years in 8 European countries.
* Concludes that PQ costs in Europe are responsible for a serious reduction in industrial performance.

Which methods can be applied for the assessment and what are the results in terms of the cost-effectiveness of retrofitting the entire residential building stock? How do the results differ for minimization of energy use, CO2 emissions and costs? And which policy conclusions can be drawn?
This presentation was used during the 18th webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy on February 3, 2022.

The need to model coupled energy networks to transition to a decarbonized futureLeonardo ENERGY
Webinar recording at https://youtu.be/2A-aVb6OHTE
The coordination between planners and operators of coupled energy systems will allow the further integration of renewable energy sources in the electricity network by storing energy in fuel form over long periods of time using power-to-gas, the recovery and more efficient use of heat, and the decarbonization of industrial processes and transportation modes that can’t be electrified. Energy networks, such as electricity grids and natural gas pipeline networks, have traditionally been planned and operated independently. In order to enhance the integration and coordination of different energy networks, they must be planned and operated in coupled ways. Different energy networks have historically been and are still modelled by different tools. In this presentation we will discuss the need model coupled energy systems in a single framework and we will introduce encoord’s Scenario Analysis Interface for Energy Systems (SAInt), a software application to model, plan, and operate coupled energy networks.
DSM (Demand Side Managament) has changed since it was first introduced in the 1980s as an active policy instrument to make energy systems perform better and more economically. In the years since and primarily in the early years of the new millennium technology has provided new opportunities with smarter applications, decentralised power making use of local renewable sources and with a booming IT for management. We rather talk about Integrated DSM (IDSM).
Policy challenges to make energy systems sustainable and reduce (prevent) climate change has been more pronounced with the Paris accord as the ultimate example. Still market uptake is slow and well beyond expectations (and needs).
It is time for DSM to shape up and deliver!

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

It is widely recognised that there are substantial additional energy savings to be made from taking a system approach – considering how products are combined and operate together. However, political ambition has not resulted in regulation. During this workshop, policy makers and key stakeholders will discuss implementation barriers and explore possible remedies.
The European Copper Institute commissioned research to look into the experience with developing system related ecodesign and energy labelling regulations to date (Brocklehurst, 2021). In their review, the authors analysed the common characteristics and challenges related to ecodesign and energy labelling of eight product groups that, at least to some extent, go beyond a ‘simple’ product.
During this workshop, the authors will present the findings of their study. Policy makers will be invited to present their views on taking the systems approach in ongoing product regulation initiatives. During a debate, we will invite stakeholders to share their experiences and views on systems approach in product regulation. We will evaluate implementation barriers and explore possible remedies.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Load shedding No In high-price periods the heat pump is
temporarily halted. As a result, the room
temperature falls and comfort is
compromised.
Load increase No Normally, a gas boiler is used to provide
heat, but at times when prices are low, an
electrical heating rod takes over.
33. Storage technologies can facilitate RE
integration in various ways
1. Load shifting
2. Frequency response
3. Reduce grid congestions
4. Reduce RE curtailment
5. Ramping

34. Storage technologies
• Storage is currently highly dominated by pumped hydro capacity
• „New“ storage technologies are (still) expansive flexibility options
• The need for new storage depends on the (none-)availability of other flexibility
options – backup capacity has to be provided on a system level (not individual plant
level!

36. Key takeaways and summary
36
• Increasing shares of wind and PV increase the need for flexible power systems
• There are numerous flexibility options, including grid expansion, flexible
(dispatchable) power plants, flexibility from wind and PV, demand response and
storage.
• Each region/countries needs to analyze and compare the costs of various
flexibility options
• Several European countries already integrate high shares of wind and PV into
their systems (e.g. 39% in Denmark; 21% in Spain).
• Not discussed in this presentation: Security of supply/resource adequacy in
markets with high share of wind and PV

43. IRENA’s Africa Clean Energy Corridor
• Communiqué called for an Action Agenda with five main pillars
o Zoning and Resource Assessment – to site renewable power plants in areas with
high resource potential and suitable transmission routes
o National and Regional Planning – to fully consider cost-effective renewable
power options
o Enabling Frameworks for Investment – to open markets and reduce financing
costs
o Capacity Building – to plan, operate, maintain and govern power grids and
markets with higher shares of renewable electricity generation
o Public Information and Awareness – to raise awareness on how the
corridor can provide secure, sustainable and
o affordable energy
