Denmark aims to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2045, with a power system based on renewables by 2030. Wind and solar capacities are expected to increase more than fivefold over the next decade, providing the electricity needed for the electrification of transport and heating, and supporting new large Power-to-X plants. This system will feature a significant amount of power-electronic interfaced production and consumption, fundamentally changing its dynamics. Energinet is responsible for the power, gas, and upcoming hydrogen systems in Denmark, and thus for developing a highly integrated and sector-coupled energy system. This presentation will discuss the necessary system development and R&D pathways to facilitate this transition.
Featured Speaker: Anders Bavnhøj Hansen, Chief Engineer, Energinet
