Flexibility and technology integration
Bioenergy for Provision of Flexibility to Multi-Energy Systems Through Model-Based Control
Short Introductive summary
A sustainable energy supply can only be achieved by a flexible, cross-sectoral energy system utilizing the specific advantages of the various renewable technologies. Biomass can provide controllable technologies in order to compensate for the volatility of most renewable energy sources as well as the demands among the different sectors. However, most of the existing technologies currently on the market and those in research are not able to provide this flexibility, since their concepts and in particular their control strategies were not designed for highly flexible operation. Thus, new and more advanced control strategies, able to handle strongly varying operating conditions (fuel variations, load modulation, etc.) automatically, have to be developed. This contribution approaches to highlight the potential for an increase in flexibility by advanced control strategies for both, the control on technological as well as on system level. The general requirements in terms of automation and control as well as specific approaches on technological and system level will get presented, and their potential regarding flexibility provision will get evaluated based on industrial applications.
