4 Future energy challenges Tomorrow s Smart Grid challenges are the interaction between three factors. 1. Increased production of renewable energy on the supply grid With increased production from wind and solar plants, etc., the delivery of energy to the grid will fluctuate much more. When it is windy, a lot of wind energy will be produced; when it is cloudy, less solar energy will be produced, etc. In order to avoid periods of congestion/ failure in the energy supply, it will be necessary to create a balance with large capital expenditure to create a larger and more robust power grid as a result. This is simple in Denmark, as our energy grid is very robust, but in many other countries this will present a challenge, and therefore attention is directed to Denmark to find system solutions. 2. Consumer behaviour Private homes, businesses, offices and public institutions are all consumers of energy. Their consumption patterns over the years, months, weeks, days and hours are based on decades of secure access to all the energy they need. Therefore, the consumption pattern is not aligned with the future production pattern for renewable energy, e.g. washing clothes at night or ensuring that an entire residential area can charge its electric cars at the same time. Security of supply is vital. Nor are the price structure and energy taxes aligned to this new world, so there are no incentives within the private sector to change behaviour. Furthermore, knowledge of private consumption patterns is limited, as remote meters have only become widespread in recent years. Actual data processing is not widespread and so it is not possible to survey consumption in greater detail, e.g. which products use what and when. 4

5 3. Prosumers the new consumers The renewable energy market is rapidly developing. New products for energy production from the wind, sun, ground, fuel cells, etc. appear every day, and efficiency is improving from year to year. Several of the products can be mounted directly in the home of the consumer, for example solar cells on roofs. This means that a private person or business is not only a consumer, but also an energy producer a prosumer. This presents a number of challenges to energy security and balance, as the energy will now be flowing in both directions within the grid. Finally, roll-out of electric cars is also expected to create huge challenges to energy security and efficiency, as the process of charging such cars puts a significant burden on the grid. Work is being carried out worldwide to create solutions to meet these challenges, including local energy storage options to contribute to the energy balance, as well as solutions in which electricity, heating, cooling, hydrogen and gas are combined in total intelligent energy storage systems. It s all about creating a balance between production, consumption and storage, so that renewable energy can be exploited in the best possible way. Photo: GreenWave Reality

6 6 Concept Green Tech Center is research, development, test, demonstration, commercialization, education, networking and entrepreneurship under one roof. Green Tech Center gathers a lot of knowledge, development and entrepreneurship within the Smart Grid field under one roof. Researchers and developers working with energy in a broad sense. Companies with products can be included in future solutions. Educational institutions that teach and train in energy installation, etc. Networks that research, communicate and build relationships between international clients, producers and investors, etc. Entrepreneurship facilities & business service. Green Tech House A three-storey building visible from the E45 motorway. The office building contains a number of office premises, from 20-person companies to one-man businesses. It is also possible to rent individual desks in an open, modern office environment. Green Tech House can house 200 workplaces, and currently 60% of the building is reserved by companies and public institutions working within the field of energy. In addition, there are a number of shared functions available, e.g. reception, canteen, meeting and project rooms. Green Tech Lab Here, entrepreneurs, companies and educational institutions are offered facilities such as workshops, laboratories and training facilities. Another important area in Green Tech Lab is the tech room. This collects all the technology and data from the Energy Park. The tech room is also connected to data to and from Green Tech House, as well as the Velje North industrial area. Green Tech Lab is the central hub within development, research and teaching for all partners associated with Green Tech Center.

7 Green Tech Park This park is a playground for testing, demonstration and commercialisation of energy-producing and energy-saving solutions. An energy park with platforms customised for the various demands of energy producers (wind, sun, ground, fuel cells, etc.) An infrastructure for electricity, heat, gas, hydrogen and communication makes it easy to test and demonstrate solutions that have an effect by working across traditional forms of energy (e.g. storage of excess electricity in hydrogen or heat). Here, a product, e.g. a wind turbine, an inverter or an optimisation unit in a single system linked to the national grid, can be installed quickly and cheaply. The project function can be demonstrated quickly in a comprehensive solution where customers, investors and others can see the effect of one or more products in a single system. A control room gathers and processes all this data so users can get rapid results from their products in the bigger picture easily and cheaply. Partners only pay for use of the facilities, as the infrastructure and data capture/measurement/processing in the system has already been paid for.

10 Triple Helix cooperation Green Tech Center is a strategic collaboration between a number of private companies, educational institutions and public parties. Public authorities Business Scientific institutions The key to the future Cooperation and knowledge shared across businesses, public authorities and educational institutions provides the best conditions for the production of new knowledge that companies can use as specialisation parameters. Therefore, Green Tech Center has implemented this three-dimensional element to guarantee companies the best possible conditions for development. At the heart of Green Tech Center is Open Innovation. It s all about creating competitive benefits that individual companies cannot obtain on their own. It brings together people with different professional backgrounds, and the meeting between different disciplines creates the ability to think creatively. Next, the consumer is involved in the innovation process itself. This can be done by allowing the consumer to relate to and comment on the various stages of the innovation process, or by allowing them to test the renewable energy platforms in Green Tech Park.

12 Smart Grid Focus This requires collaboration when it comes to devising future intelligent solutions. The switch to a fossil-free society is probably the biggest challenge facing Danish society in recent times and will require the development of innovative energy system solutions that will have export potential beyond its borders. Source: Bo Nørregaard Jørgensen, Associate Professor, The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute Building an intelligent electricity system a smart grid is like doing a puzzle, where some of the pieces are either missing or do not fit. It is intended that Smart Grid will provide answers to tomorrow s solutions involving renewable energy from sources such as wind power and solar cells, as a replacement for fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. European transmission and distribution companies have produced a visionary strategy to enable the European electricity system to accommodate the large amounts of renewable energy agreed by EU Member States in the Climate and Energy Package from By 2018, approx. EUR 2 billion (nearly DKK 15 billion) will have been invested. This will create huge demand for intelligent solutions and products, and Danish companies are in a favourable position with regard to this market. The research team at the University of Southern Denmark is a natural partner for close cooperation with businesses and other for-profit institutions at Green Tech Center for analysing the opportunities that may provide answers to the challenges ahead. 12

13 Smart Grid future solution A Smart Grid can only work if the electricity system is able to draw on everything and everyone from the largest producer to the smallest consumer. An intelligent system that links up the electricity system in all directions. Establishment of a Smart Grid will also increase the digitalisation of Danish households. There will be more metering, control and communication electronics in homes, which will provide consumers with an overview of their consumption and the ability to achieve automated and intelligent electricity consumption. Green Tech Center s vision is to establish an internationally recognised Smart Grid test facility to demonstrate Smart Grid functionality. With the demonstration facilities involved in Green Tech Park, a platform has been created where research, education, testing and consumer analyses can provide the inter-dimensional knowledge base necessary for the development of future Smart Grid solutions.
