15 Nordic electricity system - economic gains through cooperation Diversified generation system High share of non-fossils Large storage capacity Strong interconnections AC and DC Integrated markets Day-ahead, intraday and regulating Coordinated operation Sharing of reserves Coordinated planning Nordic and regional grid planning The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 15

16 50 Years of common grid planning Nordic and European Nordel was founded in 1963 by Nordic transmission system operators: Create preconditions for an effective and harmonized Nordic electricity market ENTSO-E was established as a result of the EU 3 rd Energy Package 2011: Promote the completion and functioning of the internal market in electricity and cross-border trade The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 16

17 Nord Pool Spot common Nordic spot exchange Before market opening: Many years of bilateral trade on DC and AC interconnectors between the Nordic countries Market opening: 1993 Statnett Marked AS established in Norway 1996 Joint Norwegian-Swedish Nord Pool 1998 Finland joins 2000 Denmark joins Market share in Nordic Market: 84% The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 17

18 Phases of the power market Finansiel markets Spot market Intraday market Regulating market 12:00 Day ahead Operating day Scheduling Measuring Settlement Imbalances = Schedules Measurements Balance responsible parties pay costs for imbalances The Danish Energy System 18

21 Spot trade of energy and implicit auctioning of grid capacity - lowest possible costs through optimal system utilisation Capacity allocation handled by spot exchange via implicit auctioning Grid congestions leads to price differences between bidding areas Implicit auctioning ensures optimal utilisation of grid and generation system The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 21

22 Market Coupling in Europe (2015?) Stepwise Nordic development Trade on interconnectors Wholesale market Detail market Stepwise development from regional to European market coupling The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 22

23 Conclusions from the Nordic countries Economic gains from market based efficient international merit order dispatch in diversified generation system Improved security of supply from international cooperation The path is a stepwise development of: Coherent grid planning Transmission grids and interconnectors Coordinated system operation Electricity markets Trade on interconnectors Whole sale markets & retail markets Regional market coupling ENTSO-E is now following the same route on a European level!

25 Challenge of the transition Electricity generation and electricity consumption do not go together October Energinet.dk 13

26 Flexibility in the power system Flexibility on both side generation and consumption Flexibility by the second and by annual energy balance Flexibility governed by market prices Flexibility incorporated in all new consumption Storage of electricity is optional Power-to-gas for bulk storage Power-to-gas for renewable gas October Energinet.dk 26

27 This is how we deal with the challenges What do we do, when the wind is not blowing and the sun does not shine? October Energinet.dk 14

28 What is needed for efficient operational planning Prediction of RES with a resolution of 5 minutes continuously updated with meteorological forecasts and online generation measurements Prediction of Demand with a resolution of 5 minutes updated with online calculation of demand Schedules for Exchange with neighboring areas with a resolution of 5 minutes updated with new trades Schedules for all Generation with a resolution of 5 minutes updated with knowledge of schedules Information about all remaining available resources Including new knowledge about renewables Integration of renewable energy through flexibility measures 29

29 Challenges Having 4,5GW wind power installed in the system, a change of 1 m/s in wind speed can result in a change of > 600 MW generation The meteorological forecasts rarely agree on the same wind speed. Thus we constantly look for the best combination The Danish Energy System 30

30 Wind power forecasting Two forecasting tools are used one external and one internal: External forecast: Combined forecast based on 4 meteorological prognoses hour forecast Hourly update Internal forecast: Combined forecast based on 3 meteorological prognoses. Day ahead (12-36 hour) and short term (0-6 hour) forecast Several updates pr. hour We are constantly improving and looking for new competitive forecast providers! The Danish Energy System 31

36 Green transition The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 7

37 The energy system is changing Denmark is in the middle of a historic transition of the energy system By 2020, wind power will constitute 50% of the electricity consumption (Energy Agreement) By 2035 fossil fuel independent electricity and heating (Government goal) By 2050, Denmark must be 100% fossil fuel independent (Broad political vision) The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 8

38 Energy consumption in Denmark towards 2050 The Green Energy Transition in Denmark is primarily based on: 1. Highly increased energy efficiency specially through electrification 2. Much more fluctuating power production from specially wind and sun/waves Based on figure from the Danish Government s plan: Our Future Energy The Green Transition of the Danish Energy System 39
