Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources is one of the key challenges for the transition of the energy supply chain towards a low carbon society. Due to the intermittency of wind and solar power additional storage and flexibility is required for their integration into the electricity system. Based on a scenario analysis for Germany, the economic and environmental effects of flexibility from electrical cooling as an example for demand side management in a smart grid as well as traditional flexibility from pumped storage power plants is evaluated with the PowerFlex model developed by Ö ko-Institut. In the 2030 scenario with new flexibility, about 500GWh of renewable electricity could be integrated in addition which leads to cost reduction effects as well as a decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.
