Modelling and optimal scheduling of flexibility in energy-intensive industry

  • KU Leuven

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Current environmental trends such as the rapid penetration of renewable energy resources (RES) and decommissioning of controllable but polluting generators are putting stress on the reliable operation of electricity systems. This reduction of flexibility and the increase in volatility in the supply-side call for compensation from other sources in the grid. Although the development of energy storage systems (ESS) is creating an opportunity to relax the energy balance constraints in the grid, it is currently not sufficient to solve the constantly growing need for flexibility.
