4 GENERATION - HCASA HOW WE TRADE The Danish power market consists of two zones: Western Denmark (DK1) and Eastern Denmark (DK2) DONG Energy Generation sells electricity to the wholesale markets of North European power exchanges such as Nord Pool and the German EEX European Energy Exchange. The price of electricity is determined on the basis of supply and demand. The price is highly dependent on the water reservoirs in Norway and Sweden and on the general supply and demand situation in Northern Europe. NORWAY (DC) 950 MW 1000 MW DK1 SWEDEN (DC) 620 MW 520 MW SWEDEN (AC) 1700 MW 1300 MW Large quantities of precipitation in Scandinavia increase power production at Scandinavian hydropower plants which leads to lower electricity prices whereas limited precipitation results in reduced power production and therefore increased prices. 950 MW 1500 MW GERMANY (AC) Storebælt (DC) 600 MW 600 MW DK2 550 MW 550 MW 4 GERMANY (DC)

Constant reservation pr. month. Response in seconds or minutes Central power plants: DONG Energy & Vattenfall. POWER Primary reg. reserv. Two parts: National and "free part" Frequency support Possible development National Competion and competion from abroad via interconnections Skagerak New power plants? - Do - New players: CHP plants, waste plants, players in Germany Reduced demand due to Skagerak 4. Increased demand due to increased wind DK1: National competition. DK2: National demand: only national competition. "Free part": nordic competition 5

11 VPP market integration 11

12 Power Hub our definition of a Virtual Power Plant The VPP: is a group of aggregated small units, which are able to offer operational flexibility to the surrounding power world/grid There are 3 main components in a VPP: Intelligence: Ensuring efficient operation within the VPP and offering flexibility to the outside world Infra structure: IT platform, measurements and communication channels are needed to tie real-time applications and business applications together Flexible units: The individual production/storage/consumption units The Power Hub is a service provider (economical VPP) 12

16 Price signal definition of a price flexible consumer approach The price flexible consumer: is an electrical units, which is able to offer operational flexibility to the surrounding power world/grid There are 3 main components in a flexible consumer system: Intelligence: Control system, which based stochastic models of the flexible units responsiveness can compute an price signal in order to provide flexibility to the outside world Infra structure: IT platform, measurements and communication channels are needed to tie real-time applications and business applications together Flexible units: The individual storage/consumption units responsive to a price signal 17

19 Final remarks Concerning VPP's "Production" Power Hub is already operating in Elspot and Primary Regulation "Consumption" Power Hub has been operating in Elspot for a week now Benefits: helps retailers or wholesalers (BR) to fulfill their contracts can be used to provide regulation services Concerning Price signals The provider of price signals should only be retailers or wholesalers (BR), otherwise we will get a complicated after market settlement Benefits: helps retailers or wholesalers (BR) to fulfill their contracts can be used to provide regulation services Without changing the current electrical power market setup, price signal system designs can be applied already today 21
