Dual focus in the PMFU-section Environment and
RD

• PSO RD in environmentally friendly power
  production technologies is ForskEL
• Environment is registration of the effects on the
  environment from the heat and power generation
• Internal coordination of Energinet.dks in-house
  RD is ForskIN
• Research related to the gas transmission grid is
  ForskNG

Denmark a small part of a large electricity
market
Large market and system benefits from strong
connections to neighbouring areas!

Slogan time..

• Unbundle the electricity sector
• Unravel the grid
• Unleash the renewable energy

8
A Smart Grid must develop from these principles

• Strong grid connections to allow for increased
  flow of electric power and energy from production
  to consumption, also across national borders
• System services made deliverable from all grid
  connected generation capacity to secure system
  robustness
• Establishing of a comprehensive communications
  architecture, to allow for regulation and
  monitoring of all generation and consumption
• Smart utilisation of renewable energy. Especially
  solar, wind, waves and other fluctuating
  production must be regulated directly as well as
  indirectly via forecasts and planning
• Intelligent regulation and increase of power
  consumption. Develop a realistic expectation of
  customer driven demand response and find the
  regional optimum for substitution of fossil
  generation capacity
• Evolution of market products to support the smart
  grid development

What is a smart grid?

• A smart grid can handle
• embedded generation
• high penetration of renewable energy (gt50)
• customer driven demand response
• It offers very high security of supply, with
  fully transparent energy prices
• Smart grids tie the knot between electricity
  market economy and widely distributed ownership
  of generation infrastructure by mobilising demand
  response

Denmark shows the way From national to European
focus
Danish experience combined with international
expertise
Danish laboratory for full scale demonstration
applicable to major part of Europe
Bornholm as an example

The Energy forecast project
The Energy forecast with the spot market prices
for the following day airs every evening right
after the weather forecast on TV2-news at 1930.
It is then possible for families to rake the
prices into account, to postpone a load of
laundry until the night or turning off the floor
heater a few hours when the price is high.
