Abstract

AbstractFor a stable power grid operation, the appropriateness of several technical parameters is required like voltage bands, transformer and cable loading, losses during operation, and back‐feeding of power into higher voltage level grids. Biogas plants can operate in a flexible mode and in this way influence the above‐mentioned parameters. By using real grid data, different scenarios of flexible biogas plants and their effects on grid related technical parameters are analyzed. Results show that the flexible operation of biogas plants can achieve improvements on such parameters compared to their operation solely orientated at an optimum at the European Power Exchange (EPEX Spot SE). In this way, flexibly operated biogas plants can reduce the need for grid expansion.
