Heating without the hot air: Principles for smart heat electrification

•

1 j'aime•536 vues

This document discusses principles for smart heat electrification in Europe. It notes that heating accounts for around 50% of energy use in the EU, with 75% currently generated from fossil fuels. The residential sector is most important for space heating. The document outlines four principles for heat electrification: 1) prioritize energy efficiency to reduce costs and enable thermal storage, 2) recognize the value of flexible heat loads for integrating renewable energy, 3) understand how load changes affect emissions, and 4) design electricity tariffs to reward flexibility. A range of policies are needed to accelerate the replacement of fossil fuel heating with low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps.

Webinar recording at https://youtu.be/Ph9AW2PEgBg This webinar addresses the key drivers of the PV market and industry in the coming years based on the Trends 2019. Gaëtan Masson, Operating Agent of IEA PVPS Task 1, will look at the past developments and future scenarios, from a global market development point of view to some key price evolution features. From social aspects of PV, collective and decentralised self-consumption policies to floating PV, this webinar will browse the global landscape of PV development. Izumi Kaizuka, deputy chair of the IEA PVPS Task 1, will present the trends of the PV Industry. The production of polysilicon, ingots, wafers, PV cells and modules have been growing with the growth of the PV market. The gap between manufacturing capacity of PV module and the demand contributed to the recent price reduction thus resulted in lower LCOE of PV power. Across the value chain, the PV upstream sector makes efforts to improve efficiency, output and reliability. Further progress of cost reduction is expected. In the downstream sector, players are also applying various methods to reduce LCOE.

What behavioural factors act as barriers to energy saving behaviours, to the uptake of energy efficient, clean energy technologies and of sustainable mobility options? How can energy ministries, regulatory agencies and utilities leverage behavioural insights (BIs) to design and implement more effective energy policies and programmes? In this webinar, Elisabetta Cornago from the International Energy Agency will present insights from the forthcoming Users TCP and IEA report on behavioural insights and demand side energy policy. Through the webinar, she will highlight behaviourally-informed policy interventions and programmes designed to encourage households and businesses to curb their energy consumption, to prompt investment in energy efficiency and in the uptake of renewable energy, and to encourage a shift to sustainable transport behaviours.

Residential and small commercial electricity consumers will provide most of the flexibility needed in the power system to achieve the energy transition at lower cost. This flexibility will allow the electricity grid to take on more renewables and need less grid reinforcements. Consumers are happy to participate (>75% opt-in rate) via an aggregator and be rewarded with energy savings reducing their electricity. Because it reduces the overall costs of running the energy system, it means that all consumers benefit from lower energy prices. The business case is now proven as more and more countries worldwide ensure demand side response can participate in wholesale markets as an alternative to generation and the EU has provided support through its recent Clean Energy Package. Pierre Bivas from Voltalis will share his experience of operating flexibility from more than 100,000 households in France, and now installing another 150,000, backed by the European Investment Bank, while also developing in other countries with local partners.

Transformation of Ireland’s electricity sector

The transport sector has not seen the same decline in greenhouse gas emissions as many other sectors. CO2 emissions from passenger cars and trucks form a persistent problem and policymakers struggle to find effective solutions to meet the goals. First, there is this ongoing race to the bottom among declared CO2 values with a growing gap with the emissions in real-world use. Second, manufacturers are only responsible for the performance of their cars under idealized circumstances, as measured during vehicle emission tests. Third, the economic and life-style aspects of owning and driving heavy and expensive cars are forces in the opposite direction. And last, the European Union has only limited systems in place for the monitoring and verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In this presentation, Norbert Ligterink (PhD), senior research scientist at TNO, guides you to understanding the complexity behind this broad and persistent problem.
