Motivation The cost-effective transition to a low-carbon European power system The rising cost of electricity and its effects on the competitiveness of the European Industry the IndustRE project sees the industrial electricity demand flexibility as an opportunity to deal with both challenges at the same time
Objectives The project brings together the large industry with the renewable energy community in order find common ground and create win-win situations. Formulate business models Develop tools to facilitate their adoption Quantify the potential benefits for the power system and industrial consumers Formulate regulatory and policy recommendations
Project Focus & Geographical Coverage
Business Models Available tools Flexible demand only + contract with offsite VRE + contract with onsite VRE Savings Energy costs 1 Supplier price response Market price response 3 Long-term electricity supply 5 Long-term electricity supply Network and other regulated costs ToU network tariff Volumetric tariff response Revenues System services 2 Balancing provision and other services 4 Bilateral balancing provision
Demand flexibility audits Demand flexibility audit execution in 3 major steps: Identification: Quantification: Valorization: Which industrial processes or equipment of the facility contain demand side flexibility? How much flexibility is available in the identified parts? How much money can be made with the quantified flexibility? business model day-ahead regulation business case calculation method PP business case day-ahead company X BE market data day-ahead flexibility model company X
