Integrated Energy System Analysis
Models for a better understanding of future integrated energy systems.
Goal
Developing, improving and implementing models to better understand the connections and interactions of future integrated energy systems with an increasing share of renewable energy sources in the electricity supply.
Description
The project contributes to the energy transition in the following way:
Variable energy sources such as wind and solar are expected to make up a significant share of electricity generation. Integrating this generation requires increasing flexibility in both supply from other sources and demand. This flexibility applies not only to the electricity system but also to other parts of the energy system (such as the supply and demand of gas, heat supply, agriculture, and industrial processes).
Understanding the potential interconnections and interactions between the different parts of this increasingly integrated energy system (such as gas, electricity and heat) is vital to make the right investment decisions on infrastructure, energy production and spatial planning, to design policies and regulations that will provide the right incentives and to enable flexibility from across the energy system.
Our role
We are the lead partner for the distribution subsidy in this project, and we monitor and support the progress. We report on this to the subsidy provider (Province of Groningen), and support the dissemination of project results to stakeholders.
