Structural chall<strong>en</strong>ges: Expansion of electricity, heat and gas networks<br />

In order to implem<strong>en</strong>t the expansion of r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy, it will be necessary to invest in distribution<br />

and transport networks, <strong>en</strong>ergy storage facilities and flexible gas-fired power plants<br />

to m<strong>ee</strong>t residual load requirem<strong>en</strong>ts. Moreover, the guiding principle of largely r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy<br />

supplies for all sectors consists in intellig<strong>en</strong>t interlinking of power, gas and heating networks.<br />

For the electricity grids, high-voltage direct curr<strong>en</strong>t transmission (HVDC) is an interesting<br />

option for long-distance transport of r<strong>en</strong>ewable electricity. To some ext<strong>en</strong>t the fluctuating<br />

supply of electricity from wind and solar sources can also be offset by g<strong>en</strong>eration and<br />

load managem<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

Expansion of local heating networks makes it possible to exploit the great pot<strong>en</strong>tial of combined<br />

heat-and-power g<strong>en</strong>eration (co-g<strong>en</strong>eration), especially using biomass. Further network<br />

expansion reduces, but cannot completely solve, the problem of storing electricity from r<strong>en</strong>ewable<br />

sources. In addition to short-term storage, large-capacity long-term storage is n<strong>ee</strong>ded<br />

to smooth out fluctuations in largely r<strong>en</strong>ewables-based electricity g<strong>en</strong>eration. Chemical storage<br />

of r<strong>en</strong>ewable electricity is particularly well suited to this task. The <strong>en</strong>ergy sources hydrog<strong>en</strong><br />

and methane are capable of overcoming the limits set by the fluctuating supply of r<strong>en</strong>ewable<br />

electricity and <strong>en</strong>suring reliable <strong>en</strong>ergy supplies at all times with a high perc<strong>en</strong>tage<br />

of r<strong>en</strong>ewable electricity. R<strong>en</strong>ewable electricity, the future “primary <strong>en</strong>ergy”, can be stored for<br />

w<strong>ee</strong>ks and months by linking power and gas grids and made available for motor fuels and<br />

high-temperature heating.<br />
