Main content

The low-carbon society requires major changes in the energy system, including an increase in distributed generation from new renewable energy sources, such as wind and sun, as well as changes in electricity consumption, for instance due to electrification. New renewables are to a large extent more variable and less predictable than traditional energy sources, and this creates a demand for more flexibility by other players in the system, including consumers. Distribution networks are heavily affected by both changes in distributed generation and load patterns, and their ability to handle these changes efficiently is essential. 

In this seminar, we will discuss the need for local flexibility and demand response and how this can be accommodated in the electricity market, by changes in tariffs and local flexibility markets. 

The seminar will take place at UiB. We will serve food, so all participants should register by October 31. Click here to register.
