The role of demand response in the energy system of the Netherlands, 2030-2050

report
In 2017, the (then) Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) published the major findings of the FLEXNET project on the demand and supply of flexibility by the power system of the Netherlands over the years 2015-2050 (Sijm et al., 2017a, 2017b and 2017c). In 2018, ECN joined forces with TNO and, subsequently, merged into the unit Energy Transition (ET) of TNO. One of the tools used for the FLEXNET project is the COMPETES model, i.e. a
European electricity market optimisation model, including a variety of power generation technologies and flexibility options (on an hourly time resolution). Since the FLEXNET project, i.e. over the last four years, the scenarios and databases of this model have been updated, whereas the flexibility options in this model have been further extended and improved. This applies in particular for the options demand response and energy storage (including both electricity and green hydrogen storage). The role of storage in the energy system of the Netherlands has been analysed as part of an externally funded study, published in 2020 (for details, see Sijm et al., 2020).
