Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SENERGY NETS (Increase the Synergy among different ENERGY NETworkS)
Berichtszeitraum: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-02-29
- Heat and (indirectly) power: through grid services allowing a higher penetration of RES (PV, Wind) without high investment for dedicated flexible infrastructure,
- Gas: through a diminution of the needed consumption.
This demonstration will take place at three District and Cooling assets located in Milan-Italy, Ljubljana-Slovenia and Paris-France, involving several conversion and storage technologies and using improved planning and control algorithms, with the constraint of heating and cooling satisfaction. Energy markets will be the first driver for sector integration, along with the provision of smart and flexible services allowing for cost-effective energy transition to a near carbon neutral energy system. Transferability of the results will be tested with simulation on two additional case studies : an hospital energy system in Cordoba-Spain and a multi-energy power plant in Vasteras-Sweden. The replicability and impact analysis of the project's results will be assessed at the european scale, using GIS analysis and simulation of the european power system and markets.
To achieve its ambitious goal and address the aforementioned challenges, SENERGY NETS has set seven specific objectives:
1. Demonstrate the capability of MES to decarbonize the heating and cooling sector using local RES production and sector coupling
2. Demonstrate the capability of MES to decarbonize the power sector by providing cost efficient flexibility for energy markets and ancillary services to DSO and TSO
3. Enable MES to provide flexibility services by delivering a set of tools for planning and operation
4. Enable DSO to integrate flexibility services from MES by delivering a set of tools for planning and operation
5. Enable flexibility provision at local scale by defining market requirements for DSO ancillary services adapted to MES
6. Maximize the impact by developing and applying a consolidated method to evaluate the overall created value by sector integration
7. Maximize the impact and geographical reach of SENERGY NETS through the deployment of communication and dissemination channels and synergies with other HORIZON projects
At this stage of the project, it's too early to present tangible results beyond the state of the art.
