Political framework targets and commitments Europe is in the middle of a historic transition of the energy system Denmark has a leading position 2020: Wind power will constitute 50% of the electricity consumption 2050: Denmark must be independent of fossil-fuels Strategic commitments of Energinet.dk: - Security of supply - Efficient green transition - Healthy investment climate 22 October 2015 Energinet.dk and the Danish Energy System 5
Energy consumption in Denmark towards 2050 The Green Energy Transition in Denmark is primarily based on: 1. Highly increased energy efficiency specially through electrification 2. Much more fluctuating power production from specially wind and sun/waves Based on figure from the Danish Government s plan: Our Future Energy 22 October 2015 Energinet.dk 6 and the Danish Energy System

Challenges Having 4,9GW wind power installed in the system, a change of 1 m/s in wind speed can result in a change of > 650 MW generation The meteorological forecasts rarely agree on the same wind speed. Thus we constantly look for the best combination. 22 October 2015 20 Energinet.dk and the Danish Energy System
Operational system balancing and grid security Energinet.dk has developed two specialized IT systems to manage the large amount of variable renewable generation: Operational Planning System providing information on imbalances in the coming hours on the basis of forecasts, up-dated generation plans, on-line measurements and DGM input Distributed Generation Management System (DGM) providing the basis for forecasting renewable generation and grid security calculations (load flow) 22 October 2015 Energinet.dk and the Danish Energy System 21
