Electricity exporter Saxony-Anhalt Almost every third kilowatt hour in Saxony-Anhalt comes from renewable energy sources. The largest part of this is wind energy, with over 70%. More than 10 % of all German wind mills are located in Saxony-Anhalt about 2400 wind power plants about 3800 MW capacity about 5000 MWh annual electricity power Including biomass power plants and photovoltaic power plants more than 40 % of the produced energy comes from renewable energy resources in Saxony-Anhalt. Large capacities of wind power plants in the North and East of Germany Authority BMBRS 5
Increasing transportation costs for electricity in Saxony-Anhalt Economical and technical effects -> because of the legal feed-in priority for renewable energy into public grid Increasing grid expansion costs of investment paid by local customers of the grid (grid access costs - no nodal pricing system in Germany) Still missing capacities to store electricity power (different situation in California) More use of electricity in areas with high electricity production necessary Economically back up power plants necessary Existing capacity of hydropower plant storage 6
Principle classification focusing on grid level and size high voltage power grid regional distribution grid Local low voltage distribution Economical available systems have to be integrated into a total system cost-effectively! hydro - pumpaccumulator CAS Central systems Between 25% and 60% of the public electric grid needs mainly capacities to accumulate electric power in order to reduce local step changes in load and an exorbitant expansion of the public electric grid. phase change systems /solarpower district heat - systems and combined power plants PV-generator and battery accumulator heatpumps * local systems Including thermal storage systems for heating 7
Old technology but proven district heating system Facing the fact, not to be able to by Gas and oil on the international market, the heating technology preferred in new urban areas has been district heat systems supplied by central lignite stations. Authority BHWK German Construction of modern flats during the GDR time in the 1960ties. Where this structure is almost extant it can be used as basis for a remodeled energy supply. Energy distribution management together with a controlling system create the new energy supply system effective and cost-efficient. 8
Example: gas steam combined power plant and the use of an existing heatdistrict system Health resort with mineral springs in Bad Elster. About 4000 inhabitants and up to 2000 guests In hotels, bed and breakfast places and health and wellness clinics. It has been already used by the Kingdom of Saxony. Authority Gert Grer In order to avoid pollution of smoke already in 1890 a district heating system for the whole valley was built. In 1995 we start to consult the former heat and power company in order to increase the profitability. Updating the existing steam storage system and heatdistrict system Installation of a modern process and measurement and control technology. Challenge - increasing the amount of coverage!

Chimney Chimney Example gas steam combined power plant for Bad Elster Process indicated diagram of gas steam combined power plant Bad Elster including a storage system of steam. cold exhaust gas Electric load demand on timeline is different to the demand of heat (during small heat demand) District-heat plant Bad Elster Energy supply: Public gas distribution system. Capacity to accumulate gas with demand of several month (strategic energy reserve) gas turbine peak load evaporator and superh. exhaust evaporator and superheater back pressure steam turbine pressure reducer steam accumulator to uncouple heat & electric load Heat converter steam/ warmwater pressure reducer Demand of district heat: Different customers - Public pool - Wellness, spa clinics - hotels, - Homes etc. 10
Example gas steam combined power plant for Bad Elster 5 MW gas turbine and 1,25 MW steam turbine run on electricity load. The lost heat of the whole day turbine runtime can be handed over by accumulation.. To produce electricity power on demand and to hand over the heat on demand using the accumulator capacities increases the efficiency of the district heating and supports the local electricity grid as base load power plant. (voltage stability) Authority Erdgas Südsachsen GmbH tanks to store steam with high pressure and temperature Result: Increasing amount of coverage from 2% up to 15% of the combined heat power plant and reducing costs to operate the local electricity grid. 11
Further example: Solution for a residential area Combined heat for housing blocks of a housing society with local district heating: total size of the flats: 7351 m² heat demand: 730 MWh/a average. 100 KWh /a combined heating for housing blocks 155 m² solar thermal on the roof south 434 KW total power of air heat pumps 360 KW gas condensing boiler approx. 68 MWh/a produced by solar thermal (approx. 440 KWh/m²) approx. 335 MWh produced by air heat pumps approx. 335 MWh produced by condensing boiler Result: Reducing the costs of up to 50% compared to the former gas boiler system! Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions > 25%. 12
