ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Both CHP and Wind Power are essential for the implementation of European Climate Change Response objectives, and both technologies are intended for further expansion in the upcoming decade. Meanwhile, wind turbines depend on wind, and CHP depends on heat demand. Consequently, the production in some areas sometimes exceeds the demand. The main purpose of the EnergyPLAN model is to design suitable national energy planning strategies by analysing the consequences of different national energy investments. The model emphasises the analysis of different regulation strategies and different market economic optimisation strategies. The model has been used in the work of an expert group conducted by the Danish Energy Agency for the Danish Parliament. Results are included in the paper in terms of strategies, in order to manage the integration of CHP and wind power in the future Danish energy supply.
