16 CONCLUSION Main results High renewable energy penetration in the French power system seems technically feasible (for a slightly reduced demand) BUT with: A shift in power exchanges with neighboring countries The massive installation of new power plants The need for new dispatchable power plants (biomass, fossil) but which ought to produce very few 11%-31% cost increase compared to a BAU scenario The deterioration of power system s margins to deal with disturbances ETSAP 2015, October, Sophia-Antipolis 16 / 20

17 CONCLUSION Perspectives: Endogenization of kinetik indicators (1/2) We aim at building renewable energy penetration scenarios that enable maintaining kinetik reserves above a certain level Making the calculation of kinetik indicator endogenous in the model Discretizing the model: description of each unit of power production and discret investments (Remark: H kin varies non-linearly with units capacity) Need a good description of the current power system and the disaggregation of future power plants according to their size Database Platts (2013) for France 1. Classification List of power plants by kind of fuel, kind of power production and size of the unit 3842 operating units For the BY power system 2. Creation of VT file List of process, their commodities in and out, their capacity and the value of H kin for each 729 processes ETSAP 2015, October, Sophia-Antipolis 17 / 20

18 Perspectives: Endogenization of kinetik indicators (2/2) CONCLUSION Such an endogenization has already been realized in the CMA for the Reunion Island: It has been showed that intermittent renewable energy share could reach up to 60% without deteriorating too much kinetik reserves Kinetik indicator in 2030 for teh different hours of the day for 4 typical days in 3 scenarios Source: S.

19 Perspectives: A new indicator for assessing power systems robustness (1/2) The kinetik indicator can be seen as an image of the reliability of a power system as it assesses how this power system will be able to meet demand when there is a mismatch between production and consumption. But the calculation of this indicator is based on the conservation of synchronism over the power system: without synchronism, kinetik reserves from the different power plants could not be aggregated. Based on the Kuramoto model which depicts the dynamics of non-linear coupled oscillators connected through a network (Kuramoto, 1975), and more recent work (Filatrella et al., 2008, Dörfler and Bullo, 2013) we use a new indicator which assesses the stability of synchronal states of power systems. (1) ΔP ε G λ 2 G 1 CONCLUSION Where G is the graph representing the power grid, ε G its edges, P the vector of productions and consumptions and ΔP ε G a norm on the differences between adjacent nodes production/consumption. λ 2 G is the algebric connectivity of the graph G.

20 CONCLUSION Perspectives: A new indicator for assessing power systems robustness (2/2) The condition (1) can be understood as the power grid connectivity must dominate the power system heterogenity. A first analysis using this condition on the current Reunion power system has been conducted: ETSAP 2015, October, Sophia-Antipolis 20 / 20
