“…In 2015, electricity produced from renewable energy sources contributed more than one quarter (28.8%) of the European Union's gross electricity consumption. In particular, more than half (51.3%) of annual electricity demand in Denmark in 2015 was supplied by renewable energy sources [2], and this value is expected to reach 100% by 2050 [11,46].…”

“…District heating networks with 100% renewable energy can be a reality in the near future. Furthermore, higher penetration of wind and solar energy in the energy mix together with storage technologies can increase flexibility to cope with variability in power generation, and redispatch in case of forecast errors [102].…”

Large solar collector fields are very popular in district heating system in Denmark, even though the solar radiation source is not favourable at high latitudes compared to many other regions. Business models for large solar heating plants in Denmark has attracted much attention worldwide. Denmark is not only the biggest country in both total installed capacities and numbers of large solar district heating plants, but also is the first and only country with commercial market-driven solar district heating plants. By the end of 2017, more than 1.3 million m 2 solar district heating plants are in operation in Denmark. Furthermore, more than 70 % of the large solar district heating plants worldwide are constructed in Denmark. Based on the case of Denmark, this study reviews the development of large solar district heating plants in Denmark since 2006. Success factors for Danish experiences was summarized and discussed. Novel design concepts of large solar district heating plants are also addressed to clarify the future development trend. Potential integration of large solar district heating plants with other renewable energy technologies are discussed. This paper can provide references to potential countries that want to exploit the market for solar district heating plants. Policymakers can evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of solar district heating systems in the national energy planning level based on the know-how and experiences from Denmark.

“…A wind resource simulation tool, WasP, was also developed at the planning stage by DTU for estimating the potential wind power resources of prospective new wind turbine installations [38]. Additionally, using the two-price regulation in the balancing market penalizes the forecast error, which can result in a system imbalance [39]. All these measures work as incentives to keep the power system balanced with high wind power generation.…”

The current status of wind power and the energy infrastructure in Denmark is reviewed in this paper. The reasons for why Denmark is a world leader in wind power are outlined. The Danish government is aiming to achieve 100% renewable energy generation by 2050. A major challenge is balancing load and generation. In addition, the current and future solutions of enhancing wind power penetration through optimal use of cross-energy sector flexibility, so-called indirect electric energy storage options, are investigated. A conclusion is drawn with a summary of experiences and lessons learned in Denmark related to wind power development.Key words: energy system flexibility; high wind power penetration; integrated multi-energy system; Danish wind energy 1 Current status of Danish wind power and energy system Denmark is an international leader in the implementation of a renewable, secure and cost-efficient energy system using a high share of wind power. In 2016, Denmark achieved a wind power penetration of 38%; while supplying 99.996% of domestic electrical power throughout the year, resulting in one of the highest energy security levels in Europe [1]. The Danish economy since the 1980s has grown by around 80% while maintaining constant energy consumption and, at the same time, decreasing CO 2 emission by 34% [2]. Danish knowledge and development of green energy has also attracted foreign economic investment in renewable energy. In 2017, Apple announced the establishment of one of the largest international data centers in Western Denmark. The Apple data center will be powered by renewable energy and its surplus heating will be injected into the local district heating system [3].
