Generation Adequacy in the Nordic and Baltic Area : The Potential of Flexible Residential Electric Heating

• Generation adequacy is a concern in today's electricity market where intermittent renewable energy sources are rapidly becoming a greater share of the generation mix. This paper focuses on the North-European power system that is comprised of the system areas of the Nord Pool spot market. Sequential Monte Carlo Simulation is applied to assess the generation adequacy of this multi-area system for several future scenarios defined within the Nordic Flex4RES project. The paper gives insights into the characteristics of these adequacy problems that the system could face in a more sustainable future and quantifies their magnitude. Finally, some solutions based on the demand flexibility of residential electric heating are discussed.
