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.

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.

Using human-centred design to improve energy efficiency programsLeonardo ENERGY
Human-centred design is being used to make the NSW energy savings scheme more effective. We started with research that identified six key insights for improved scheme operation. It found that the scheme is complex and its fragmented tools and systems create unnecessary barriers to entry. We then used workshops to develop six corresponding opportunities for improved service delivery. To scale up we need streamlined manual processes, more collaboration and improved digital systems. This is especially relevant given recent announcements that the scheme is being extended to 2050.
This talk will present the research, and will place it in the context of changes announced as part of the NSW Energy Strategy. It will explore small, medium and long term changes to scheme delivery identified through the HCD process and our proposed next steps.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme started in 2009. It has so far delivered projects that will save 27,000 gigawatt hours of energy and $5.6 billion in bill savings over their lifetimes.

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.

Commercialising Grid-Scale Energy Storage Congress 2015 - Programme BrochureAurore Colella
After months of research with utilities across Europe involved in Energy Storage applications, a few things are clear-cut. Stakeholders want to:
- Cut through the technology hype
- Objectively assess the specific applications of grid-scale energy storage across the electricity supply chain
- And very importantly, hear commercial, business case-driven case studies to adopt and implement rather than reinvent the wheel.
For this reason, the Commercialising Grid-Scale Energy Storage Global Congress 2015, taking place in London on 25-26 November, has partnered up with leading European utilities, grid operators, the European Commission and other stakeholder groups to demonstrate and deliver actual results from pilot studies and the future road for commercialising energy storage applications across power generation, distribution and transmission.
The carefully selected case studies will benchmark progress, shape future plans and establish ROI from grid-scale energy storage applied to the entire electricity supply chain.
Many remote areas and islands (RAI) are deploying renewable energy (RE), some with ambitious plans to meet 100% of their electricity or even final energy needs with renewables. For most of them, roof-top PV systems offer clear advantages but most of their deployment potential still remains largely untapped. The setup of consistent prosumer policies can provide a means to achieve the islands’ objectives faster and with lower costs to society.
This report provides guidance to policy makers on the drivers, opportunities, challenges and implementation strategies of PV prosumer policies that can be considered within a comprehensive renewable energy strategy for RAI. It is based on the frameworks and methodologies developed on the IEA-RETD publications RE-PROSUMERS (2014) and REMOTE (2012).
The preliminary results were presented at the IRENA Island conference in Martinique in July 2015, see presentation slides.
UKRI, in collaboration with the dept for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, is seeking to invest up to £1 million to support collaborative projects to plan their route to cluster decarbonisation as part of the £170m Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge (IDC).

Out of scope: - energy innovation that solely develops a single-generation
technology (except for offshore wind or nuclear fission)
- energy end-use efficiency, for example, in buildings, domestic appliances,
industrial processes or vehicles 13

Editor's Notes
Focusing for a moment on where the market is now for flexibility and storage in particular – we’re already seeing rapid changes in response to the opportunities to deliver storage from the NG EFR tender and their commitment to review multiservice contracts and with DNO seeing connection requests in excess of 19GW we are seeing a diverse range of business models coming forward, battery production at scale and a virtuous cycle with falling technology costs.
And we’re seeing a diverse range of business modesl for storage at different scales from distribution level through to models for aggregated dispatch of fleets of Evs.
And much of the recent interest has been spurred in part by dramatic cost reductions in battery technology in recent years – estimates will vary but the reductions are significant. Looking ahead, with the further scaling up of battery production for electric vehicles and in-home usage, battery costs are expected to continue to decline.
We saw some fascinating figures from Aurora on Tuesday suggesting that costs of £100/KWH for Li-ion by 2020 were not unreasonable
DECC published “Toward a Smart Energy System” on 17 December 2015 – this slide is taken from it, and sets out and starts to quantify the benefits of a smart energy system – Storage, together with the other technologies which deliver flexibility will help us to realise there potential savings.
BEIS and Ofgem are committed to energy policy that works for households and businesses. A smarter and more flexible system offers significant benefits for consumers; done right, the system will be more secure, more affordable and easier to decarbonise.
The forthcoming Call for Evidence will set out our approach to delivering these benefits and will invite views and evidence in response to our proposed approach.
Price Signals: Elective half-hourly settlements are expected for consumers from early 2017;
Government and Ofgem will consider the need for and consult further on mandatory options for half-hourly settlement.
Roles: (FPGA) Future Power Generation Architect analysis of functions (IET and Energy Systems Catapult)
Set against this market context I’d like to go through what Government is doing now – we’re working closely with Ofgem and will shortly be publishing our Call for Evidence on Smart Energy.
Our focus has been embedding smart as a key tool for ensuring security of supply and to enable and ease our transition to a low carbon system.
We want to ensure that new and existing technologies can compete on a level playing field and facilitate effective competition – whether that’s through network charging or in the arrangements for ownership of network assets.
We’re also focusing on putting the right enablers in place to allow developers to take up and realise the flexibility which could be on offer through the system via the introduction of wide spread half hourly settlements.
Alongside this focus on the markets we’re working to develop our evidence base and support innovation and research.
But central to all of this, as David made clear, is that we can’t do without partnering with industry to deliver change of this scale and at the pace required.
Not interested in small incremental solutions and innovations which have a limited commercialisation potential
