Balancing the Belgian electricity system for maximal use of Renewable Energy generation by a Grid Injection Limit Algorithm and optimal Battery deployment
Techno-Economic Assessment of power-to-gas systems.
Given the fact that there is a major peak in solar energy around noon, the current injection into the grid must be limited when there is a lot of sun to prevent overloading of the electricity grid. In a short internal study by EnergyVille it was already established that, with an injection limit on solar panels, 50% of the electricity production can be generated via wind and sun without overloading the grid or without the need for batteries. With the installation of an optimal extra battery capacity, up to 70% renewable electricity can be used without putting extra strain on the grid.
The BREGILAB project will examine in detail how this can be practically realized at minimal cost for network expansion and batteries. The following topics are being studied:
In this way, the BREGILAB project forms an essential element to prepare Belgium for the further rollout of solar and wind energy in the coming decades.
