Abstract

The Danish power system is characterized by a high share of dispersed generation (DG) and wind power plants. Today about 24 % of the electricity consumption is produced by wind turbines and about 19 % by combined heat and power units (CHP). The paper shows, how the Danish transmission system operator (TSO), Energinet.dk, handles the tasks of providing secure system operation today and in future, using technical and market mechanisms as well.
