Main persistent challenge: Balancing
Note: Load data and wind data from Germany 10 to 16 November 2010, wind generation scaled, actual share 7.3%. Scaling may overestimate the impact of variability; combined effect of wind and solar may be lower, illustration only.

Larger and more pronounced changes

Netload implies different utilisation for non-VRE system
Main persistent challenge: Utilisation
Note: Load data and wind data from Germany 10 to 16 November 2010, wind generation scaled, actual share 7.3%. Scaling may overestimate the impact of variability; combined effect of wind and solar may be lower, illustration only.

A sustainable energy system is a smarter, multidirectional and integrated system that requires
long-term planning for services delivery

Flexibility is key!!
Electricity and thermal systems Opportunities for deep integration
© OECD/IEA 2014
Holistic assessment of flexibility options with detailed time-resolved system models • E.g. demand response from heat
pumps with heat storage/flexible district heating)
Heat mapping to evaluate global
economic potential for DH • Spatial distribution of heat
demand based on bottom-up projections
• Part of energy system scenarios looking at all technology options for heating buildings
Future heat/electricity analytical work

Global Urban Population
Global urban populations are growing rapidly, and with them demand for energy in cities
