Growing shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in the electricity system increase the need for flexible balancing of supply-dependent feed-in of RES and time-varying demand. Besides flexible, conventional technologies and demand-responses, storage is an important option. Through the use of an...

Growing shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in the electricity system increase the need for flexible balancing of supply-dependent feed-in of RES and time-varying demand. Besides flexible, conventional technologies and demand-responses, storage is an important option. Through the use of an...

We simulate Finnish future energy system with large amounts of CHP (combined heat and power) and wind power. The Nordic countries have ambitious wind power targets, which means a substantial need for balancing power. One third of electricity in Finland is produced by CHP, and a large amount of...
