ÌǹûÅɶÔ

Odense, Denmark – January 30, 2025: As part of their program for the day, Energinet visited the ÌǹûÅÉ¶Ô Center for Energy Informatics on January 30th to hear more about some of the projects being developed at the center. Energinet, the Danish national transmission system operator for electricity and natural gas, is an independent public enterprise owned by the Danish state under the Ministry of Climate and Energy.

During their visit, representatives from Energinet engaged with researchers at the ÌǹûÅÉ¶Ô Center for Energy Informatics, discussing the latest research in energy markets and market participation, and exploring potential areas for collaboration. Key personnel from the Center for Energy Informatics presented projects particularly relevant to Energinet. The main areas of the discussion included:

• Optimization of the home charging of electric vehicles: With the increasing number of households purchasing electric vehicles, the electricity grid faces growing challenges. This project investigates the importance of balancing fluctuating electricity prices and tariffs while ensuring grid reliability to avoid overloads. The project proposes that centralized charging in local flexibility markets could be a viable solution and is thus worth further investigation.
• Process2Market – Evaluation tool for electricity market participation: A tool developed at the center was presented, designed to evaluate the techno-regulatory feasibility of market participation. By answering a simple questionnaire, the tool provides you with scores for each submarket, ultimately helping you evaluate the efficiency of participating in certain electricity markets. It emphasizes the importance of accurate forecasting to stay at the cutting edge of market participation.
• Digitalization and test for dynamic and flexible operation of Power-to-X components and systems: The DynFlex project aims to result in integrated PtX facilities that operate safely, flexibly, and efficiently, thereby increasing the reliability of the electricity system. These facilities will interface with sector coupling in areas such as district heating and transportation. The project develops new methods to test and operate individual PtX components and the overall system, improving the business case for PtX facilities.
• The importance of collaboration between industry and research institutes: The visit highlighted the significance of fostering collaboration between researchers, consumers, and industry to make the most of each other’s skills and knowledge effectively.

This visit marks a significant step towards fostering collaboration and innovation in the energy sector. Energinet's visit provided an excellent opportunity for both organizations to share knowledge and insights, paving the way for future joint projects that will contribute to Denmark's green transition and energy security. We look forward to seeing the innovative solutions that will emerge from this collaboration and the positive impact they will have on the energy sector.
