Abstract

The present paper reports different results of a pan-European study being carried out in the frame of the European GridTech project. Specific attention is paid on the techno-economic evaluation of the application of innovative grid-impacting technologies towards RES exploitation in the future European system: three main technology categories are addressed. This paper focuses particularly on the effects and benefits that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current), bulk energy storage and Demand Response (DR) c1an provide the pan-European system with, in mid-term scenarios (2020 and 2030).
