Renewable Energy Technology Overview and Market Trends Mirzo Ibragimov
On 5-6 December, Tashkent hosted a workshop on renewable energy (RE) policy development jointly organized by the Government of Uzbekistan and the World Bank Group (WBG) in partnership with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The presentation was delivered during the above-mentioned event.
V2G: Measuring Electric Vehicle Drivers’ Willingness to Co-create Flexibility...IEA-ETSAP
Electric vehicle drivers' willingness to provide flexibility to the electric grid was studied through a choice-based conjoint analysis survey of 301 people in Switzerland. The study found that drivers required a flexibility premium of 3.85-45.16 CHF per month to allow different levels of access to their vehicle batteries for grid services. A comparison of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and PV+battery systems showed that flexibility provision came at a higher implicit discomfort cost for heat pumps than electric vehicles or PV systems. While some willingness to provide flexibility was found, further research is needed to understand differences in willingness across technologies and locations.
Why Super Low Loss Amorphous Transformers are a Non-brainer for Britain’s Lea...EMEX
Supply transformers are a common piece of electrical infrastructure on campuses across the UK. Despite some major advancements in super low loss technology, old and inefficient transformers continue to waste thousands of pounds in avoidable electricity costs each year. This session will showcase energy saving capabilities of modern supply transformers and provide you with the opportunity to get best practice advice and first-hand experience from a senior engineer in the estates and environment department of one of Britain’s leading Universities.
This document discusses distributed energy storage and smart DC power systems. It proposes using batteries in homes to store power purchased off-peak and use it to power lighting and electronics during peak times. This could help reduce peak demand, lower costs, and balance the grid by using low-carbon power. Storage could provide benefits like reducing outage risks, enabling time-of-use pricing, and addressing the growing demand for DC powered devices. The company, Moixa, is working on residential, community and commercial deployments of these systems, including a 0.52 megawatt-hour demonstrator project with 300 homes in the UK. Aggregate storage at the edge of the grid could potentially save billions across the UK's infrastructure costs.
Demand Side Response (DSR) reduces electrical usage during peak demand periods to help avoid using expensive power stations. DSR programs involve reducing consumption through methods like on-site generation, adjusting production schedules, and optimizing building management systems and lighting. DSR provides benefits like financial savings, supporting renewable energy, and reducing carbon emissions. It is a growing resource as the electricity network transforms and more intermittent renewable sources are added.

Case Study: Ensuring Security of Supply Through FlexibilityEMEX
Brexit poses many risks to solving the energy trilemma and has created even more uncertainty about what our future energy mix will look like. However, the benefits of flexibility and the role it has to play in balancing the grid is already very clear, and growth in this area will continue despite wider market volatility.
As this flexibility becomes crucial to maintaining security of supply, it is incumbent on big businesses to do their part and be more responsible in managing their energy consumption. Companies will differ in how they can reduce demand and shift consumption out of peak times, but there will be direct benefits for the businesses that embrace it – both savings on energy bills and additional financial incentives for supporting the grid.
In this session we will cover some of the schemes available for consumers with dynamic energy consumption, and the benefits of working with a supplier to integrate flexibility with procurement to ensure the best possible returns.
Increased need for flexibility in the European energy transitionIlkka Hannula
Rapid addition of wind and solar energy puts technical and economic pressure on the existing energy system. Increasing flexibility is key to integration of large shares of variable renewables, and in enabling an affordable renewables-led system. But how to achieve this? And what role will bioenergy play?
Improving Energy Productivity through Energy Efficiency and Renewables for yo...EMEX
This document discusses how improving energy efficiency and increasing renewable energy generation can help address issues with the UK's energy system. It notes that while renewable capacity is growing, it only accounts for about a quarter of electricity generation currently. Improving building insulation and switching to more efficient lighting, heating, and cooling can significantly reduce energy consumption to better match intermittent renewable supplies. Combining different technologies like solar, efficient heat pumps, and combined heat and power can maximize the benefits and allow renewables to meet a larger share of electricity demand. A case study distribution center was used as an example to illustrate how a multi-technology approach could achieve major energy and carbon savings.
Newcastle has implemented several initiatives to reduce its carbon emissions and become more sustainable. It has retrofitted over 40,000 homes with insulation, reducing CO2 emissions by over 31,000 tons annually. It also aims to install renewable technologies like solar panels on 15,000 additional homes through its Green Deal program. Newcastle also works to change behaviors through social marketing campaigns and smart meter libraries. It consolidated IT infrastructure to reduce server hardware from 540 to 208 servers, cutting energy use. Rolling out more initiatives like domestic solar, green procurement, and electric vehicle routing will help Newcastle further cut its carbon footprint.
Unlocking the Innovation Hidden within Today’s Variable-Speed DrivesEMEX
It is more than 40 years since the technology of variable-speed drives (VSDs) entered the market. Yet despite electric motors accounting for some 65 percent of industrial energy consumption, only 5 percent of installed motors are speed controlled. While not all motors are suitable for speed control, there is still a large proportion that could be. Yet when asked what is the most effective way to reduce energy, UK business responded with “change energy supplier”. Without doubt the most effective way to get real energy savings is to install energy efficient motors and VSDs. In this presentation John Guthrie looks at the impact of VSDs on a diverse range of sectors, offering real examples from hospitals and swimming pools to data centres and car parks.

The project is expected to utilise renewable generation from the Port’s 5MWp solar farm to produce hydrogen, for storage and to demonstrate the flexibility of hydrogen as an energy carrier, relieving grid constraints and enabling more generation onto an alternative energy network that address’ the UK’s carbon plan.
Technology Option and Cost of Increasing Electricity Access in Taraba, NigeriaSPIDER Solutions Nigeria
This study examines the least-cost technology option for increasing electricity access in Taraba state which has the lowest electricity access rate in Nigeria within a 15-year investment period. We employ the Network Planner Tool – a web-based decision support program which integrates geospatial information with demographic and energy demand information, and compare three electrification options: grid-extension, mini-grid diesel-based system, and stand-alone option which uses solar PV home systems supplemented by small diesel system for productive use. The results show that grid-extension is the least-cost option for 98.1% of the demand centres; the mini-grid option is the least-cost cost option for the remaining demand nodes; while the stand-alone option is not least-cost in any demand node. The total cost of achieving 50% electricity access rate in Taraba State is US$1.70 billion, where grid-extension and mini-grid options account for 96.9% and 3.1% respectively. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the mini-grid becomes least-cost for more demand nodes with lower cost of energy storage.
Removing carbon from the processes which are essential to our modern world will be one of our generation's defining challenges. Central to this goal will be the role of Energy Storage within our modern infrastructure. Energy storage will need to be placed at all parts in our infrastructure - both in front and behind the meter applications will be key. These diverse applications will need a portfolio of technologies to deliver services to a range of customers. In this talk we explore some innovation possibilities with a focus on (a) Li-ion roadmap and the role of digitisation, (b) Flow batteries for longer term storage and finally (c) Power2X technologies for Energy Reserve and Chemical Industry.

This session will report on the major findings from two unique BEMS case studies. Context of the studies that utilised TerOpta’s innovative BEMS, specifically adapted for small-scale modular implementation, will be outlined. Details of the power line carrier technology that was used to control connected devices and enable communication throughout the buildings will be shown. Further, the lighting and BEMS energy savings identified will be presented, as well as future energy saving potential.
On 24 February 2016 TransGrid's Executive General Manager of Asset Management delivered a presentation about Evaluating the impact of advancing battery storage and other technologies on energy economics.
This document discusses the importance of improving the efficiency of switch mode power supplies (SMPS) used in telecommunications and industrial equipment. SMPS are crucial as they efficiently convert incoming power sources like AC grids or batteries into regulated DC power needed to operate electronic circuit boards. With growing technological demand, improving SMPS efficiency by even 1% can result in significant cost savings for operators with large networks. The document also mentions new technologies like gallium nitride that promise further efficiency gains for SMPS. Overall, optimizing SMPS efficiency across all loads is seen as an important requirement given rising energy costs and environmental concerns.

Power system flexibility relates to the ability of the power system to manage changes.
Solutions providing advances in flexibility are of utmost importance for the future power system. Development and deployment of innovative technologies, communication and monitoring possibilities, as well as increased interaction and information exchange, are enablers to provide holistic flexibility solutions. Furthermore, development of new methods for market design and analysis, as well as methods and procedures related to system planning and operation, will be required to utilise available flexibility to provide most value to society.
However, flexibility is not a unified term and is lacking a commonly accepted definition.
The flexibility term is used as an umbrella covering various needs and aspects in the power system. This situation makes it highly complex to discuss flexibility in the power system and craves for differentiation to enhance clarity. In this work, the solution has been to differentiate
the flexibility term on needs, and to categorise flexibility needs in four categories.
Here, flexibility needs are considered from over-all system perspectives (stability, frequency and energy supply) and from more local perspectives (transfer capacities, voltage and power quality). With flexibility support considered for both operation and planning of the power system, it is required in a timescale from fractions of a second (e.g. stability and frequency support) to minutes and hours (e.g. thermal loadings and generation dispatch) to months and years (e.g. planning for seasonal adequacy and planning of new investments).
Smart Regulation for a 21st Century Energy System_Australian Clean Energy Sum...TransGrid AU
The document discusses the need for smart regulation to enable Australia's transition to a 21st century renewable energy system. It notes that coal generation will decline substantially by 2036 as wind and solar increase significantly. Large renewable energy zones have been identified in NSW, VIC, and SA that could support over 25GW of new wind and solar generation. However, ongoing regulatory reviews have paralyzed progress, unlike Texas which established renewable energy zones and transmission to unlock over 18.5GW of low-cost wind power. Smart long-term regulation and planning is needed to guide Australia's energy transition and reduce high consumer prices.
This document summarizes a workshop about powering Sydney's future energy needs. Sydney is experiencing significant load growth that is challenging the ability of TransGrid and Ausgrid's aging electricity networks to reliably meet demand. Options discussed to address this include replacing deteriorating fluid-filled cables, adding new 330kV or 132kV cables along various routes including Rookwood Road, and utilizing non-network solutions like generation, storage, and demand management. The workshop aimed to consider all options on reliability, cost, and environmental impact to develop solutions in TransGrid's upcoming planning process.

Our latest Point of View report explores when grid parity for solar and wind might happen and what the implications could be. Grid parity occurs where emerging technologies such as wind and solar produce electricity at the same levelised cost as buying power from the grid.
It has long been considered the ‘holy grail’ for renewables as it will usher in a new era of unsubsidised renewables where market forces, not subsidies, would drive large scale deployment. The revenues of any investment now undertaken with a defined economic life (e.g. 30 year) will be affected by the build of unsubsidised renewables (as typical subsidy regimes are 10-20 years in duration).
As a result, investors must ensure their revenue projections post-subsidy period take into account the impact of increasing amounts of competing (unsubsidised) renewables – which will act to lower their capture prices and revenue post-subsidy. If they don’t take this into account, they risk overestimating the long-term profitability of projects built at the moment.
With a focus on Europe, the analysis has been conducted by Poyry’s state-of-the-art electricity model BID3. The report defines grid parity, explores where and when it might happen first and the implication of it being reached.
The document discusses India's power system, including its history, current state, and structure. Some key points:
- Electricity was first demonstrated in India in 1879 in Calcutta and 1882 in Mumbai. The first generating station was set up in Mumbai in 1905.
- India has an installed power capacity of 362.12 GW as of 2019, with coverage of 99.7% of the country. Transmission and distribution losses are around 21%.
- The Indian power system consists of generation, transmission via lines of varying voltages, and distribution to end consumers. It aims to provide reliable power via the national grid system.
- Rural electrification is a key objective, as India is now the 3
The document outlines the process for individuals to connect small-scale renewable energy generators to the national grid in the UK and receive compensation for the electricity generated. It discusses the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and how to gain approval to connect to the grid. It then explains the Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC) scheme and upcoming Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme, including proposed tariffs for different technologies. The FIT scheme will launch in April 2010 and aims to encourage more small-scale renewable energy generation.
Identifying SmartGrid Opportunities to Aid a Low-Carbon Future in the UKIMDEA Energia
This document discusses opportunities for a smart grid to aid a low-carbon future in the UK. It summarizes that by 2020, 35% of UK energy demand will be supplied by renewables and by 2030 the electricity system will be decarbonized while incorporating heat and transport sectors. A smart grid uses demand response and network technologies to provide flexibility instead of building redundant generation assets. The document outlines various transmission, distribution and demand-related issues that a smart grid could help address to enable high renewable penetration at lowest cost.

Grid Integration: Future for Electricity TransmissionTorben Haagh
The European Commission has targets for 20% of energy to come from renewable sources like wind power by 2020. This will require upgrades to Europe's electricity grid infrastructure to integrate more offshore wind power. The document discusses plans to build over 35,000 km of new transmission lines and upgrade 7,000 km of existing lines at a cost of 23-28 billion euros over 5 years. This will help connect renewable generation to areas of demand, improve security of supply, and facilitate a single European electricity market. However, integrating variable wind power over long distances poses technical challenges around transmission efficiency and managing periods of low generation.

2. UK Energy Future 2020: 35% of energy demand to be supplied by renewable generation 2030: Decarbonisation of electricity system .... .... while incorporating heat and transport sectors into electricity system A major change to generation mix and demand growth. Cessation of (non-abated) coal and gas and existing nuclear 30% Wind; 30% New Nuclear; 30% New Carbon Capture Coal/Gas Demand growth and wind integration is technically feasible with a traditional network. The problem would be the cost of a “dumb” approach. So, what do we need to be “smart” about?
3. Providing for the New Generation Patterns Energy v. Capacity Wind farms provide low carbon energy and displace fuel-burn from conventional coal and gas Most coal and gas stations are not closed because their capacity is needed occasionally to cover peak demand which coincides with times of no wind Utilisation of generation assets falls Transmission Constraints Wind is in the north, demand in the south Constraining-off wind (in north) and constraining-on coal (in south) is very expensive But, how is new transmission capacity best provided
4. Can we afford “predict and provide”? Asset Utilisation Smart Grid= paradigm shift in providing flexibility: from redundancy in assets to more intelligent operation through incorporation of demand side and advanced network technologies in support of real time grid management 55% Smart 35% BaU 25% 2030 2020 2010
7. Offshore Wind Farm Expansion in the UK 1.25 GW capacity installed 3.2 GW being added in 2010/11 New offshore wind farm zones recently announce total about 32 GW Some new wind farms are 200 km from shore EHV AC cable connection has a difficult/expensive reactive power problem Connection will have to be DC Voltage source DC required to run wind turbines
19. But this is a DC network on an unprecedented scale and complexityNordic 5GW 3GW Benelux & Germany Poland & Baltic 10GW UK & Ireland 4GW 2GW 4GW 19GW 21GW France Central Europe 10GW 4GW South East Europe 41GW 3GW 10GW Italy & Malta Iberia
20. Increased Electric Demand in a Low-Carbon Future Traditional electrical demand may well (perhaps must) reduce but .. Two further demand sectors need to be met: heating and vehicles How does this demand affect Peak demand : average demand ratio Generation asset utilisation Loading on final LV distribution
21. Electric Vehicles in Commercial District BaU SMART Significant correlation in arrivals to work i.e. significant peak load imposed by EV charging Significant opportunity to optimise charging as EVs will remain stationary for several hours (e.g. 8h)
22. Generation asset utilisation with Smart demand management Value of demand response: almost 40GW less installed generation capacity required
23. But is a flat demand profile the best answer? Annual Wind Power Variation Demand will need to respond to generation patterns through price or other signals Demand will also have to respond to local network constraints This may need to be resolved regionally
24. Responding to frequency excursions Frequency (Hz) ? + = 10s 10 mins 50. 0 Frequency control 49.2
25. Anything to worry about? ...but the beer is getting warm! fridges are supporting the system
