The increase in variable renewable energy sources for power generation is creating a demand for more flexibility in the other parts of the value chain: networks, consumption and potentially storage facilities. Interfaces with other infrastructures may also provide flexibility. Implementation of these options for flexibility requires a more integrated approach to the regulation of the power sector...
Demonstration is a key step for the deployment of smart grids. Several demonstration projects have been launched in France and others are under preparation to validate both technical solutions, and their economic and social hypotheses. This paper gives an overview of existing and future demonstration projects on smart grids in France in which EDF and/or ERDF are involved. More specifically, three...
Housing sector is one of the important greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions which result global warming. In order to trace the energy use before and after primary energy factor of electricity adjustment, this paper analyzed the primary energy factor of electricity of the end user in Taiwan from 1982 to 2009 first. Then the compositions of the primary energy use and emissions in Taiwan housing sector...
Active response of electricity consumers to various conditions in the electric grid is a goal that is envisaged to be achieved within the smart grids concept. This paper attempts to summarize the knowledge obtained from analyses of the demand-side management (DSM) potential in various countries in order to identify potential benefits of introducing the DSM concept in the Czech transmission system...
The implementation of emission certificates in Europe in 2005 has lead to new uncertainties especially for power companies resulting in additional costs for the power generation. The introduction of certificates goes along with political conditions and objectives particularly in the European Union until 2020. In consequence, these regulations take influence on the power plant scheduling as well as...
