“…This geographical imbalance may be explained mainly with either of two factors: (1) policy priorities and implementation status of policies towards the energy transition vary between European countries; therefore, specific national programs on PEDs or PED-related matters have only been implemented in some countries. An example is represented by the ZEN Research Centre (https://fmezen.no/about-us/); nine pilot projects were spread over Norway with the aim of developing zero emission neighborhoods [10][11][12]. ZEN has public and industrial partners to guarantee a multidisciplinary approach that combines together researchers with building professionals, property developers, public authorities, energy companies, building owners, and users.…”

Towards 100 Positive Energy Districts in Europe: Preliminary Data Analysis of 61 European Cases

Positive Energy Districts and Neighborhoods (PEDs) are seen as a promising pathway towards sustainable urban areas. Several cities have already taken up such PED-related developments. To support such approaches, European countries joined forces to achieve 100 PEDs until 2025 through a comprehensive research and innovation program. A solid understanding and consideration of cities’ strategies, experiences and project features serve as the basis for developing and designing the PED program. JPI Urban Europe has been collecting information on projects towards sustainable urbanization and the energy transition across Europe. The collected cases are summarized in a PED Booklet whose update was recently published on the JPI Urban Europe website. Results presented in this paper provide insights from the analysis of 61 projects in Europe and offer recommendations for future PED developments.

The European Energy Transition envisions a high deployment of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) by 2050. Some estimates expect that 60-to-70% of power generation will be entirely covered by VRES technologies (i.e., solar and wind). This creates challenges for balancing VRES with conventional, flexible generation (e.g., gas and storage). Consequently, VRES are transforming how electricity markets will operate and how balancing needs between day-ahead (DA) and intraday (ID) electricity markets are coordinated. The importance of the ID market increases due to the uncertain short-term nature of VRES. However, there is limited research on how forecasting errors in between market stages affect investment decisions in capacity expansion problems. In this paper, we investigate how an increased amount of uncertainty from forecasting errors between a DA and an ID market affects investment decisions in the power system. We have developed a multi-horizon stochastic capacity expansion model containing both DA and ID markets under uncertainty. The model emulates the European power system developments under given emission targets of EU policies towards 2050. In the comparison of the standard single market approach to the market sequencing, the results indicate: 1.) Forecasting errors significantly impact investment decisions, resulting in 10% lower VRES investments and 40% higher flexible capacity investments, 2.) Cross-border transmission is a crucial contributor to flexibility and volume increases by 10-20% when accounting for forecasting errors, 3.) investment needs for storage capacity decrease significantly compared to an over-valuation in the standard method of capacity expansion models.

“…The transition from unidirectional to bi-directional flow of information between the TSO and DSO to exploit the available generation capacity in the distribution systems is highlighted in [1]. Furthermore, [2], [3] points out the necessity of models linking these two levels in the power system. This has been addressed in literature to a limited extent to present day.…”

The interaction between the transmission and distribution system operators is mainly based on a unidirectional flow of information (transmission-to-distribution system operators). The resources in the distribution systems are, hence, not utilized fully in overall power system operations, regardless that they may serve as sources of flexibility to manage renewable energy sources fluctuations. In the existing literature, is not very clear how the coordination of the transmission and distribution system operators can and should be modelled. Accordingly, there is limited insights to the potential value coordination may bring to the overall power system operations. As a result, this paper presents a modelling approach for coordination of the transmission and distribution system operators, where flexibility is provided by distributed energy resources located in the distribution systems. Key findings suggest that the total costs of power system operations are reduced when distributed flexible resources are incorporated under a joint coordination framework.
