Abstract

A high share of electricity generation from hydro, wind and PV is expected to lead to considerable, weather-related fluctuations in power supply. System flexibility is required to compensate short-to long-term (seasonal) differences between generation and consumption. This paper aims for assessing short-to long-term flexibility needs of the Austrian electricity system by 2030, which is intended to rely, almost exclusively, on RES and the use of flexibility options for meeting those needs. For this purpose, a high-resolution power and district heating model is used for the calculation of two distinct scenarios. Flexibility needs and coverage are quantified for these scenarios for different timescales, namely: daily, weekly, monthly and annually.
