11 Energy Concepts Motivation The transformation of an urban energy system to high share of RE and high efficiency is a long-term process dealing with high complexity. A systematic approach with a long-term energy concept is necessary, to achieve following goals: Reduction of carbon dioxide CO 2 Reduction of air pollution by fine dusts etc. Replacing fossil fuels by local RE Reducing energy import dependency Creation of local value by producing, installing and operating RE systems Increasing the energy efficiency Stabilizing energy prices for consumers

12 Energy Concepts Results Energy concepts are answering following questions: How will the energy demand develop based on the expected framework conditions (population, economy, efficiency measures, living standard,...) and the proposed energy efficiency measures? How much energy will be saved by energy efficiency measures? Which share of the expected energy demand can be met with RE, locally (generated in the city) and from the region around the city? Which capacities of power plants and heat/cold generation units (Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro, Biomass,...) are necessary and how much energy will be delivered by each of the technologies? What will be the costs of implementing the energy concept and what could be the local added value? All results are delivered as reports and associated action plan recommendations

28 General Approach The analysis follows a multiple layer data analysis from statistics to specific data (as far as accessible)

29 Structure of the Energy System Frankfurt/M 2050 Based on 95% renewable energy sources regionally generated Result of a temporal highly resolved simulation (hourly basis). RES Potentials: All RE and waste potential of the city, 50% of the potential of the region and 11.6% of the potential of the federal state of Hessen from Wind und Biomass (= share of Frankfurt citizens of Hessen) Federal state»hessen«surrounding region»frankfurtrheinmain«wind PV Hydro Generation on city area 22% 20% 84% 0,4% Export District Import -18% 10% Electricity 24% Building level Accumulators 2.0 GWh 5% -5% City of Frankfurt am Main 4964 GWh 100% Consumer 17% Local mobility Efficiency: Reduction of the energy demand from 2012 to 2050 From fossil fuels + electr. to electric vehicles only - 79% Waste Solid Biomass Biogas 23% 17% 6% CHP CHP CHP CHP Boiler Heat pump 9% 21% Residential 32% 18% Services - 64% - 72% - 53% - 78% Solar thermal All data final energy Total generation 9759 GWh District and heating 42% industry 12% 22% Heat 36% Accumulators 2.3 GWh 5276 GWh 100% 42% 61% Industry - 11% - 10%

31 Capacity and Potential of Electricity Producers What is the potential for wind and solar energy in the surrounding of BA? How much electrical energy can be produced?

32 Electrical Grid Analysis and Assessment A detailed analysis of the grid capacity is mandatory

33 Analysis of the demand (electricity, heat, mobility) Minimize the (hourly) difference between RES generation and demand

34 Analysis of the existing power generation portfolio The Flexibility of the conventional power generation is crucial

35 Energy Concept: Approach Discussion and Elaboration of Objectives/ Requirements for the Energy Concepts Determination of the energy system, status quo Determination of load profiles (time series) Potential and time series of Renewable Energy feed-in for the target years Energy concepts for the pilot regions/citiy Target years and boundary conditions Energy balance of the city / district Load time series of target years Load time series of target years

36 Summary and Conclusion Regional and local energy supply structures are embedded in global markets and structures The fluctuating character of RES is pronounced extremely on regional level and requires the exchange of electricity with other (remote) regions A full supply with regional located RES is only pronounced in rural areas and requires an extremely high storage capacity Regional energy management reduces the exchange (import and export) with the respective higher level, and thus the grid capacity The sector coupling electricity-heat-transport is the key component for increasing the flexibility and takes place in the distribution grid Regional energy management systems (VPP) are required for the interaction between sectors and for the provision of ancillary services
