Abstract
A stable and quality-oriented energy supply in Germany is a pre-requisite for a sustainable national economy. Therefore, also for political reasons, the wind energy as a renewable energy source in onshore and off-shore wind power plants plays a more and more important role in this context. But this increase in wind power productions generates new and up to now unknown problems in the German energy system concerning energy transportation, the reduced availability of this energy for meteorological reasons and the thereby caused need for so called “Hour Reserve from conventional power plants”. Also the fluctuation in wind power production in addition to the fluctuations of the consumer power demand and the not measured production from decentralized sources are resulting in substantially high positive and negative reserve power in the conventional power plants which are up to now not well designed for these new requirements. The analysis of these new burdens for the power plants, the development of new energy services and new strategies of control and the design of new conventional power plants in respect with an optimal operation regime are the main goals of this investigation on behalf of VGB PowerTech.
