The ability of end-users to shift theirelectricity profiles has considerable potentials and can serve many purposes, e.g. to curb the peak loador to increase self-consumption. However, evaluation methods designed for flexibility from conventionalpower plants may be inadequate for flexibility from end-users due to the diverse constraints of underlyingprocesses and limitations related to individual needs. This work presents a comprehensive and modularflexibility model developed from common operational characteristics of flexible processes as an alternativemethod.The model is applied to two examples: First, the operation of a combined heat-and-power plant includinginput and output storage is optimized with the objective to increase profits from electricity sales on the spotmarket. Second, a steel rod production line consisting of melting, casting, and milling processes is scheduled sothat operating costs, including peak power costs, are minimized. Moreover, potentials of flexibility as externalservices and related costs are analysed. In this paper, the model is used to calculate the optimal costs (e),time-dependent flexibility potentials (kWh) and costs of flexibility provision (e/kWh). Thus, the adaptabilityand versatility of the model are demonstrated. As a modelling template, the model can ease the efforts ofstakeholders in the characterization and evaluation of various flexible processes, especially those from smalland medium-sized users.

However, to make flexibility available to the market, it has to be correctly quantified, and its cost has to be estimated. In this work, a methodology for generic flexibility quantification is proposed and developed in a Python environment using model predictive control. The chosen methodology allows to quantify the adjustable power, and also to determine the corresponding cost of the flexibility provision. It was observed that the available flexibility and its cost is influenced by many factors such as system components, human behavior, building thermal parameters, and price signals. Also, the inclusion of even a low share of households with batteries or electric vehicles smoothens the aggregated flexibility profile, and a considerable amount of flexibility is available at almost any point in time.
Datei herunterladen Weidlich A, Zaidi AOperational Flexibility of Small-Scale Electricity-Coupled Heat Generating Units 2019 Technology and Economics of Smart Grids and Sustainable Energy , Band : 4, Nummer : 8, Seiten : 1 - 16» Kurzfassung anzeigen « Kurzfassung verbergen Kurzfassung Heat generation that is coupled with electricity usage, like combined heat and power generators or heat pumps, can provide operational flexibility to the electricity sector. In order to make use of this in an optimized way, the flexibility that can be provided by such plants needs to be properly quantified. This paper proposes a method for quantifying the flexibility provided through a cluster of such heat generators. It takes into account minimum operational time and minimum down-time of heat generating units. Flexibility is defined here as the time period over which plant operation can be either delayed or forced into operation, thus providing upward or downward regulation to the power system on demand. Results for one case study show that a cluster of several smaller heat generation units does not provide much more delayed operation flexibility than one large unit with the same power, while it more than doubles the forced operation flexibility. Considering minimum operational time and minimum down-time of the units considerably limits the available forced and delayed operation flexibility, especially in the case of one large unit.

Internationale Energiewirtschaftstagung an der TU Wien » Kurzfassung anzeigen « Kurzfassung verbergen Kurzfassung Energy systems require flexibility - an ability to respond to changes - to integrate higher shares of variable renewable energy. On the whole, flexibility potential from prosumers is significant and stems from various processes. As each flexibility option is unique, before utilization, its potential first must be assessed. This paper presents a universal flexibility model, so called generic characteristic flexibility model (GCM), as tool to characterize and assess most, if not all, flexibility options from prosumers. GCM establishes a generic flexible process with components representing physical parts, e.g. machine and storage, and various administrative decisions, e.g. changes in output delivery or operating hours. Each component is described with essential characteristics and constraints. As demonstrations, three flexible systems representing various sectors – a district heating system, a household appliance, and a production process - are characterized and modelled using GCM. Flexibility in these systems is utilized to minimize costs under time-varying electricity prices and subject to operational constraints. This in turn proves the concept of a universal flexibility model. GCM eases burdens of actors - flexibility providers and users - to develop assessment tools for each flexibility options. Its pre-defined structure and characteristics also support identification of flexible processes and communication between actors. Thus, it helps promoting the utilization of flexibility from prosumers.
