Value of Demand Flexibility in the European Power SectorFinal Report03-10-2023This report explores different scenarios for the European power and district heating system each representing varying degrees of demand flexibility.The scenarios comply with the EUs objective of becoming climate neutral by 2050.When we compare the Reference scenario,which assumes frozen policy with regards to flexibility and minimal advancement in demand response(DR)technologies,with the Flex scenario,where regulatory changes,technological advancements,and heightened consumer awareness enabledemand response,we observe the following advantages:A socio-economicbenefitof 15.5 billion annually by the year 2050.A substantial reduction in consumer costs,amounting to approximately 26 billion annually by 2050.A decrease in averageconsumer power prices(wholesale)from 61/MWh to 55/MWh.The abatement of 40 million tons of CO2 in 2030.A reducedneed for approximately 300 GW of battery capacity and 90 GW less gas peak capacity.Additionally,an integration of 100 GW more solar capacity into the energy mix.Investments in interconnectors between bidding zones decreasedby 21%(61 GW)The modelling considers only benefits of demand response in whole-sale electricity markets including the need for investments in interconnectors between bidding zones.Any positive(or negative)effects of demand response on distribution grid cost and internal transmission grid cost are not considered in the modelling.Possible revenues from selling ancillary services are not considered either.These findings underscore the potential benefits associated with embracing demand response and fostering a flexible energy landscape.Please note that the costs related to realizing the potential for load-shift among certain consumers,including households,services,industries,andelectric vehicle(EV)owners,have not been factored into the analysis.Key findingsIntroduction4Project context5Danfoss is actively engaged in assessing the role of demand-side flexibility within the forthcoming European power system landscape.Against this backdrop,we have prepared a long-term analysis spanning the milestone years of 2025,2030,and 2050.The primary objective of this analysis is to quantify the holistic value that various forms of demand flexibility can contribute.Our evaluation hinges on a set of key metrics that encompass socioeconomic impact,monetary advantages for consumers,reductions in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption,and power prices.To gain a thorough understanding,these critical aspects will be investigated through the lens of three distinct scenarios,each representing varying degrees of demand flexibility.The analysis will be conducted by utilizing the Balmorel power system model to examine European day-ahead markets.This approach will focus on optimizing the intricate interplay between supply and demand dynamics,with the primary aim of minimizing costs for the overall system solution.Note,that the modelling considers only benefits of demand response in whole-sale electricity markets including the need for investments in interconnectors between bidding zones.Any positive(or negative)effects of demand response on distribution grid cost and internal transmission grid cost are not considered in the modelling.Possible revenues from selling ancillary services are not considered either.Balmorel is a fundamental partial-equilibrium model of the power and district heating system.The model finds least-cost solutions based on assumptions such as the development of fuel prices,demand development,technology costs and characteristics,renewable resources and other essential parameters.The model is capable of simultaneoussimultaneous investmentinvestment andand

pumps and electric boilers are among the options to supply the district heating demand.Other options are fuel-based district heating generation from heat only boilers or CHP.Depending on the scenario the model may invest in steel tanks and pit storagesInvestment and operational cost for additional electric boilers or heat pump capacity.Using alternative options for heat generation yields additional cost.Investment cost and operational costs of steel tanks and pit storages.Power-to-XDemand for production of e-gasses,e-liquids and hydrogen based on EU commission scenarios.Modelled as electricity consuming generation facilities(electrolysers).Depending on scenario model optimised hydrogen storages can be installed to enable flexible use of electrolysers,while demand is modelled constant.Investment and operational cost for electrolysers and cavern storages included.Demand buckets in the modelThe development in new capacity is driven by demand development,technology costs and resource assumptions.Moreover,important political targets are taken into account,including minimum buildout for renewable energy,coal phaseout plans and nuclear plans.WindWind andand solarsolar:As a minimum level for renewable energy,countries are expected to fulfil the levels of wind and solar power set out in ENTSO-E TYNDP-scenario National trends towards 2030.Key national are included as well,Germany for example,is expected to pursue higher targets for wind and solar power as set out in the Governments Easter Package from April 2022,aiming for 215 GW solar power and around 120 GW of onshore wind in 2030.Additionally,80%of the ambitious 30 GW offshore wind target by 2030 is assumed realised.Beyond 2030,investments are based on model optimisation.For onshore wind and solar PV,country specific caps are employed to reflect a realistic deployment that considers planning and grid constraints at the local level.These constraints are gradually relaxed over time.NuclearNuclear capacitycapacity is determined exogenously.The capacity based on plans from World Nuclear Association for decommissioning but with new plants being built in the UK,Finland and Poland.The total capacity declines from around 100 GW in 2021 to 90 GW in 2050.ThermalThermal capacitycapacity:Current plans for decommissioning of coal-fired capacity are considered.Other than that,decommissioning of and investments in thermal power capacity is determined by the model.Investment in biomass capacity(wood chips,wood pellets,straw)is constrained at 30 GW by 2030(corresponding to a fuel input of approx.1.900 PJ)to reflect that the current pipeline of new biomass capacity is limited.Towards 2050,the biomass constraint is lifted to 40 GW.Generation capacity in Europe12Buildout requirements and

study,with key flexibility aspects varying across three scenarios.I.A“Reference”scenario reflecting frozen policy and limited development of DR technologies.The reference displays relatively low levels of flexibility,including inflexible electricity consumption patterns among a certain portion of the PtX capacity.II.The PtX sector is expected to provide the highest level of flexibility in the system in upcoming years,due to its demand magnitude but also characteristics.Therefore,an intermediate scenario(“PtX Flex”)will be analysed to shed light on the value that PtX related flexibility brings to the system on top of reference case.III.Finally,the most flexible scenario(“Flex”),will reflect the addition of further demand-side flexibility actions in each demand category,showcasing the overall emerged value from the deployment of different flexibility measures.An overview of the varying aspects between scenarios can be seen in the following slide:Definition of
