Abstract:

The presentation will focus on flexibility as the main way to increase the integration of renewable energy into the grid. After a quick study of the problems caused by the high penetration rate of renewable energies, the flexibility ecosystem is addressed. Three major assets can be exploited for this purpose: the electric vehicle as mobile storage, the intelligent building as a major consumer and HVDC connections for their capacity to effectively enhance, secure and control energy flows. In conclusion, some obstacles are presented and discussed.
