European Demand Response Center (EDRC)

EU has 27 countries and 27 different markets for VPPs based on DR. The only way to access targeted markets efficiently is in partnership with strong market players TSOs, Utilities and ESCOs. Good overview is provided by SEDCs snapshot of EU DR potential and the barriers. SUMMARY: This project focuses on development of an automated European Demand Response Centre (EDRC) through aggregation and intelligent networking of industrial and commercial consumers and suppliers with integration of renewable energy sources (RES) for economic and ecological optimization of balance energy actions, such as peak power, grid stability and congestion issues.

CHALLENGE - PEAKING CAPACITIES

Demand response measures in Austria could be equivalent to the capacity of a state-of-the-art combined cycle unit (400 MW) or even more.

FOCUS OF THE PROJECT

Regional focus

Austria European perspective and validation through international expert workshops Follow-Up project within EU FP 7 Program ICT Call iBADGE Cross-Border Balancing Market Tool: Austria, Italy and Slovenia Follow-Up Commercial: Cloud for Stakeholders across Europe

Stakeholder focus
Energy-intensive consumers (industry), consumers with emergency power generator, transmission system operator, distribution system operator, regulator, traders, municipal utility, suppliers, etc. Energy-intensive industry (consumer/prosumer): selection based on the energy consumption/1000 production 7 industries were selected based on their potential for DRM Private households were not considered

VPP DRIVERS / HOW TO DEFINE VALUE

COMMERCIAL VPP MAX FINANCIAL OUTCOME The electricity retailer challenges are: - Retaining customers - Increasing revenues TECHNICAL VPP OPTIMIZE POWER SUPPLY & DISTRIBUTION The power sector specific challenges are: - Increasing share of RES; distribution of RES - Underinvested aging infrastructure with long lead times for new projects - Public resistance against new projects (transmission lines, nuclear, coal, etc.) - Increasing consumption - Environmental issues
