在“双碳”目标的推动下，建筑供暖的电气化比例将显著提升，热泵的部署也将加速增长。热泵不仅能提供高效的供暖方式，还可以通过需求响应机制为电力系统提供灵活调节能力。对供热方而言，这有助于降低热泵运行成本，拓宽供热企业的收入渠道，从而提升热泵的市场竞争力。对供电方而言，这能保障电力系统的安全稳定运行、减轻电网扩容压力，降低供电成本，并促进可再生能源电力消纳。… View Summary +
In der kommende Jahren soll Deutschland seine Abhängigkeit von fossilem Gas stark reduzieren. Damit einher geht zwangsläufig ein schrittweiser Rückbau der Gasnetze, da sich diese ohne signifikante Belastungen der Verbraucher nicht mehr wirtschaftlich betreiben lassen. In einer Studie hat… View Summary +
Part of RAP and ICCT’s Benefits of EVs Through Smart Charging Global Project Smart charging optimizes electrical vehicle charging by adjusting timing and power based on price signals reflecting for example when grid capacity can be used or when renewable… View Summary +
This executive summary is part of a global project by the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) studying the economic and environmental benefits of deploying smart electric vehicle (EV) charging in specific geographies. The study identifies those benefits as avoided system costs… View Summary +
This document presents the modeling results from the China section of RAP’s global project, Quantifying the Benefits of Electric Vehicle Managed Charging. Our key findings include: From the perspective of the grid dispatch center: Managed charging of electric vehicles provides… View Summary +
电动汽车灵活性是近年来能源领域关注的热点之一。随着电动汽车数量的迅速增长，其充电负荷对电网运行造成了新的挑战，也提供了新的机遇。通过分时电价等经济激励手段，电动汽车的充电灵活性已经初步显现，尤其是在工商业用户侧，相关实践和试点项目取得了长足进展。然而，在居民侧，虽然电动汽车充电负荷规模庞大且潜力巨大，但其灵活性的挖掘和利用仍处于初级阶段，存在很大的提升空间。 … View Summary +
The term anticipatory investment has been coined on a recognition that we need to build electricity grids at a quicker pace, in greater volume, and with view of a longer time-horizon than before in order that grids do not present… View Summary +
电力现货市场的价格波动有利于提高市场效率和体现新能源的环境效益，但同时也会引发公众和政策制定者对价格波动的担忧。因此，当前中国电力现货市场设置了价格上限和下限，旨在稳定价格，避免剧烈的价格波动。但在实际操作中，过紧的价格管控也可能抑制市场价格调节机制的发挥，不利于清洁能源发展。比如，价格上限过低限制了灵活资源（如储能、需求响应）投资和参与，导致峰时电力供应不足，以致煤电资源冗余，反而增加系统成本；价格下限则阻碍了低价可再生能源的竞争优势体现，模糊了资源调度的优先顺序，并影响需求侧响应的积极性。… View Summary +
Denmark is a European frontrunner in heating decarbonisation. The country’s district heating systems serve the majority of buildings nationwide, especially in urban and suburban areas. District heating in Denmark increasingly relies on clean energy, benefits from efficiencies and economies of… View Summary +
Growing demand for electricity in buildings is creating new opportunities and challenges for electric and natural gas planning. Planning processes for the electric and gas systems are largely separate, and only a few jurisdictions have started to examine how they… View Summary +
Virtual power plants (VPPs) have received wide attention in China from central government agencies, provincial governments and, in some cases, municipal governments. Central and provincial policy directions have called for broader adoption of VPPs and successful programmes have been piloted. View Summary +
Part of RAP and ICCT’s Benefits of EVs Through Smart Charging Global Project With economic forces and policy efforts encouraging transport electrification, it is critical that electric vehicle (EV) demand on the power grid be carefully integrated to avoid unnecessarily… View Summary +
Industrial energy use — including for heat in industrial processes — is a significant source of carbon emissions in Europe, accounting for 20% of the region’s greenhouse gas emissions. To meet climate and renewable energy goals, industrial decarbonisation needs to… View Summary +
