Alan Burtin (EDF R&D Vice-President Energy Management) — June 16, 2016
The presentation examines the impacts of the integration of a large share of variable renewable generation into the generation mix of the European interconnected electricity system. The analysis, which is based on the results of long term studies performed by EDF R&D, aims at improving the current understanding of the technical and economic feasibility of a massive deployment of wind and PV across the European system. This results relies on an EU system wide approach based on a chain of advanced power system simulation and optimization tools. The study addresses several aspects of the system integration of variable generation in particular, including the characterization of variable RES generation, the need for generation and interconnection infrastructure, the role of demand response and storage, the impacts on short-term system operation and VRE market profitability.
