EVALUATION

AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF THE LCNF
Denmark: Energinet.dk and the Danish Energy Association
Following on from
recommendations
on establishing a
Smart Grid in
Denmark, the
Danish Energy
Association and
Energinet.dk
have produced a
road map for the
roll-out of the
Smart Grid.
Some
demonstration
projects also
carried out.
The roadmap focuses on the role
of grid companies and provides
recommendations for them in
developing a Smart Grid.
Denmark’s demonstration
activities include Energinet.dk’s
cell controller pilot project 70 , the
EV integration project EDISON 71
and the EU-financed EcoGrid 72 .
The Cell
Controller Pilot
Project was
conducted as an
international
cooperation
between
Energinet.dk,
Syd Energi Net
A/S, Spirae Inc.
(USA),
Energynautics
GmbH
(Germany)
Siemens A/S
(Denmark), 47
Wind-turbine
owners and 5
Local CHP
plants.
Partners in the
EDISON project
included
Danskenergi,
Dong Energy,
Eurisco, IBM,
Óstkraft and
Siemens.
Denmark has carried
out a large amount of
strategic work on
Smart Grids –
developing 35
recommendations on
implementation of a
Smart Grid in Denmark
(2010) and then
producing a roadmap
for grid companies
(2013), which contains
actions on a timeline to
2019. There is a clear
focus on moving to
100% green power
that helps focus their
smart grid strategy. In
comparison, the UK
does not have an
overarching strategy.
Funding for the various
large projects appears
to be from different
sources and does not
appear to be through a
mechanism such as
LCNF.
The scope of EU Smart Grid projects has shown a transition from R&D projects in the
initial years with greater budget and project numbers on demonstration and deployment
from 2008 onwards, see Figure 36.
