Technical potential and revenue chances of flexible electricity generation and load devices

摘要

This paper presents a current market analysis for short-term flexibility options realized by electricity generation and load devices. An assessment of appropriate flexibilities is given by evaluating the technical potential under consideration of constraints. For these flexibilities two distribution channels are discussed by showing the historic capacity fees and energy prices for minute reserve and the remuneration for interruptible load. Furthermore the revenue potential for different heating technologies in residential buildings is evaluated in detail. This evaluation considers the availability of the devices based on individual load profiles and the prices on the minute reserve market per time slice in dependence of the activation. The results show that the revenues vary strongly by year and heating technology.
