07Development paths from ENSURE project – Transformation of the Energy System up to 2030

Sponsor: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

Development paths from ENSURE project – Transformation of the Energy System up to 2030
The Kopernikus project ENSURE is developing the electricity grid of the future. In order to do this, the project must first know what the energy future looks like for which it is developing the grid. For this, ENSURE has undertaken a hitherto unique attempt: With representatives of the social groups that will be most affected by the energy system transformation, the project has worked out four development paths for the energy system 2030. These initially qualitative storylines were translated into quantitative energy system scenarios in the course of the project. The model results were fed back to the stakeholders to discuss contradictions and, if necessary, make adjustments to make the development paths more consistent. The results have now been published in the brochure "Transformation of the Energy System up to the Year 2030".

06Impact of infrastructure investments such as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline on the European gas market

Client: Nord Stream 2 AG

Impact of infrastructure investments such as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline on the European gas market
As part of a study (Chapter 4.3), EWI quantifies the economic effects of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline using the European gas infrastructure model TIGER. The results of the simulation show that Nord Stream 2 will increase the supply of gas to Europe and thus reduce prices for European consumers. At the same time, it is shown that gas transits through Ukraine will continue to play an important role in the future and contribute to supplying Europe with gas at the lowest possible cost. The study was conducted in cooperation with Frontier Economics and commissioned by Nord Stream 2 AG.

05VISE Policy Brief No. 9: Aggregation of households in (regional) virtual power plants: Regulatory framework and hurdles

Client: Own publication of the Virtual Institute Smart Energy (VISE)

VISE Policy Brief No. 9: Aggregation of households in (regional) virtual power plants: Regulatory framework and hurdles
Regional virtual power plants (RVPPs) are virtual power plants located behind a single distribution network node. They market the flexibility of households by centrally controlling their generation, storage and consumption devices. These can be, for example, PV systems with battery home storage, heat pumps or micro-CHP systems with thermal storage or electric vehicles with smart chargers. RVPP operators can aggregate these units and market them on the wholesale market for electricity and, if applicable, the balancing power market. In principle, RVPPs can be operated economically. However, the current regulatory framework in Germany has a considerable impact on which business models are possible at all and how profitable they may be. Restrictions result in particular from the so-called final consumer status and the associated levies, charges and taxes on household electricity tariffs. The tariff structure makes storage operations involving the withdrawal from and re-injection of electricity into grid uneconomical. The only way to remedy this situation would be a complete netting of all levies, charges and taxes incurred during withdrawal from and re-injection into the grid. However, business models that rely solely on shifting household consumption in order to market the flexibility resulting flexibility are possible: household electricity tariffs are usually time-invariant and relying only on load shifting avoids an additional exchange of electricity with the grid and thus the associated levies, taxes and fees. Additional revenue opportunities also arise from potential direct marketing activities for owners of electricity generation plants subsidised under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) or the Combined Heat and Power Act (KWKG).

04Central and Decentralized Features of Future System Structures – Study within the Copernicus Project ENSURE

Sponsor: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

Central and Decentralized Features of Future System Structures – Study within the Copernicus Project ENSURE
The Copernicus project ENSURE is developing the power grid of the future. In eight communities in Schleswig-Holstein, the project wants to build up this future grid on a test basis in the coming years. In order to do so, however, the project must first know what the future looks like whose grid it is developing. To this end, ENSURE has developed four possible storylines by 2019 on what Germany's energy supply could look like in 2030. On the basis of these storylines, this ENSURE study examines how much centralized and how much decentralized power supply makes sense from a technical and economic perspective - and is socially accepted. The result: no matter which of the four storylines is politically pursued in the coming years - there is always a need for expansion at both the central and decentralised levels of the electricity system. In contrast to previous studies, the ENSURE analysis takes into account various future scenarios as well as parameters relating to market, network and information and communication technology infrastructure. It also includes data on final energy consumption, primary energy use, energy conversion and energy storage.

Coal phase-out: EWI develops methods for determining possible compensation payments for electricity intensive industries
How does the accelerated coal phase-out affect the wholesale electricity price - and how can this effect be estimated in the course of a compensation mechanism? In a new report commissioned by the WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle e.V., scientists from EWI have developed and described three concrete methods for this purpose. In addition, they have analysed what effects the coal phase-out decided by the cabinet will have on the other electricity cost components of industrial companies. The background to this is that both the final report of the so called coal commission and the Kohleausstiegsgesetz passed by the German Cabinet call for a compensation mechanism. This instrument is intended to compensate for possible electricity price increases that the coal phase-out may bring to the electricity intensive industry. The extent to which these compensatory measures are necessary to ensure the continued international competitiveness of German industry is not part of the report.

Discussion of future challenges of supply security in the electricity market 2.0
It is questionable whether the current design of the electricity market will be able to guarantee the current level of supply security in the future. This is because the decline in conventional generation and the simultaneous expansion of supply-dependent renewable energies pose challenges for the market. This is the result of a new study commissioned by Zukunft Erdgas e.V. and carried out by the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI).

IEA Market Report Series: Coal 2019
The report finds that the rebound in global coal demand continued in 2018, driven by growth in coal power generation, which reached an all-time high. Although coal power generation is estimated to have declined in 2019, this appears to have resulted from particular circumstances in some specific regions and is unlikely to be the start of a lasting trend. Global coal demand is expected to remain broadly stable over the next five years, supported by robust growth in major Asian markets.

09Development of the momentary reserve and estimation of the need for Fast Frequency Response in the European network system

Client: Siemens AG

Development of the momentary reserve and estimation of the need for Fast Frequency Response in the European network system
Together with ef.Ruhr, EWI investigated the development of frequency stability in Germany on behalf of Siemens AG. With the help of the European electricity market model DIMENSION, the power plant parks of two scenarios were optimized for the year 2040. The first scenario exclusively depicts the German coal phase-out, while the second scenario additionally assumes that the European countries with a high proportion of conventional power generation will make a change towards renewable energies. As indicators for the frequency stability of the resulting systems, ef.Ruhr uses a point model to determine the frequency gradients, grid start-up time constants and dynamic frequency minima. The analyses carried out show that there is a need for action in order to be able to guarantee the frequency stability of the energy supply system in the year 2040 without restrictions. The decrease of the instantaneous reserve due to decreasing energy from conventional power plants results in the shortfall of the permissible frequency minima as well as in a critical increase of the frequency gradients, which can cause critical system states in each case. An increase in the instantaneous reserve or an acceleration of the primary control power can guarantee frequency stability.

The Trilateral Gas Talks: What would an interruption of Russian gas exports via Ukraine mean for EU consumers?
Gas supplies are secured for this winter – even if the current negotiations between the EU Commission, the Russian company Gazprom and the Ukrainian company Naftogaz over gas supplies from Russia via Ukraine to Europe should fail. Ten years after the Russian-Ukrainian gas conflict, the current gas supply contract expires at the end of the year. In a study entitled “The Trilateral Gas Talks: What would an interruption of Russian gas exports via Ukraine mean for EU consumers?”, EWI examined how a failure of the negotiations and a resulting interruption of gas supplies, as in 2009, would affect consumers in Europe.

06Effects of CO2 prices on the building, transport and energy sectors

Client: E.ON SE

Effects of CO2 prices on the building, transport and energy sectors
In a new short study, the EWI examined the real impact of CO2 prices on private households and the overall energy system. The analysis was carried out jointly with the Institute for Future Energy Consumer Needs and Behavior (FCN) of RWTH Aachen University on behalf of E.ON SE. The FCN estimated investment and consumption decisions of private households in the transport and building sector on the basis of empirical models. On this basis, the EWI derived feedback effects of these decisions in the energy system. Thus, the effects of a CO2 price were consistently mapped in the overall system.

CO2 Pricing in the Building Sector and Necessary Additional Instruments
CO2 pricing provides incentives for investments in climate-friendly heating technologies and energy-efficient renovation. But a tax on greenhouse gases or an emission trading system alone will hardly be enough to make them economically attractive. Additional policy instruments are needed to do justice to the special features of the building sector. These are the key findings of a study conducted jointly by the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI) and the Institute for Public Economics at the University of Cologne (FiFo) on behalf of the Zentraler Immobilien Ausschuss e.V.

Impulse for the current climate policy debate: Assessments based on the dena lead study Integrated Energy Transition
Together with the German Energy Agency (dena), EWI has examined developments in power generation and the end-consumer sectors of buildings, industry and transport since the publication of the "dena Lead Study Integrated Energy Transition ". The analysis compares the changes between 2015, the base year of the dena study Integrated Energy Transition, and today with the transformation paths and model results in 2030. The EWI figures show: The efficiency improvements in the sectors assumed in the dena study cannot be observed. Regarding the expansion of renewable energies, particularly in wind energy, a significant decline is expected. Various indicators show that there are currently no incentives for a rapid and cross-sectoral reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the analysis of the key figures by the EWI, dena develops comprehensive recommendations for action so that Germany can still achieve the its climate target in 2030.

03Effects of the phase-out of coal-fired power generation by 2038 on the electricity market, CO2 emissions and selected industries

Client: Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Digitalization and Energy of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIDE)

Effects of the phase-out of coal-fired power generation by 2038 on the electricity market, CO2 emissions and selected industries
At the end of January, the Coal Commission presented its final report. The EWI examined the effects of that report on behalf of MWIDE NRW (Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia). The European electricity market model DIMENSION+ was used to compare the developments of a reference scenario with those of the phase-out scenario. Based on this analysis and further investigation, an international comparison of electricity prices for selected power-intensive industries was made. In the scenario analysis, the EWI reaches the following key results: The recommended exit path makes it possible to achieve the 2030 climate target for the energy sector even with a moderate increase in demand for electricity. Whereas this target is clearly missed in the reference scenario. However, in the coal phase-out scenario, an ambitious expansion of the number of peak-load power plants by 2025 is necessary in order to ensure security of supply. Electricity prices will rise significantly in both scenarios due to rising prices for CO2 certificates. For the German industrial companies considered, electricity prices are rising relatively strongly in both scenarios compared with foreign prices. Aid payments to compensate indirect CO2 costs (so-called electricity price compensation) can reduce the increase in electricity prices.

02Energy market scenarios and future energy and commodity procurement options

Client: INEOS in Cologne

Energy market scenarios and future energy and commodity procurement options
On behalf of INEOS in Cologne, EWI analysed the potential development of gas demand – in case the current level of ambition concerning the expansion of renewable energies and the decrease of reduction of energy consumption cannot be accelerated. First, three key mechanisms for achieving climate targets are identified: Decreasing energy consumption, electrification of the final energy consumption and increasing the share of renewable energies. Unfortunately, barriers like rebound effects, slow technology adaption rates and acceptance issues are often neglected. Energy demand could thus be underestimated. One possible outcome is a rising demand for natural gas and an increasing import share. A theoretical alternative to gas imports would be the exploration of unconventional gas sources (“fracking”) in Germany. However, the study concludes that the exploration of unconventional gas sources is unlikely due to environmental risks, public concerns and Germany’s geographical location close to cheap and abundant gas reserves.

Electricity cost in the non-ferrous metal industry – A sensitivity analysis
On behalf of the WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle e.V., EWI analysed the effects of an increase in electricity prices on the gross value added of exemplary companies in the non-ferrous metal industry. In 2017, the electricity prices of companies in the non-ferrous metal industry fluctuated between 3.6 ct/kWh for an aluminium electrolysis plant and 14.0 ct/kWh for a small copper rolling mill. The large differences are mainly due to the deviating regulatory relief schemes. Compared to other branches of the manufacturing industry, the electricity cost intensity is highest in the metal industry with an average of 14.5 %, an electricity price increase therefore has comparatively strong effects. An increase in electricity prices by 1.0 ct/kWh would reduce the gross value added of the metal industry by 439 million Euro (2.3 %), processes with high electricity-cost intensity such as aluminium electrolysis would be particularly affected strongly.

11Short study: Flexibility potential of households for the network-related reduction of demand peaks

Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

Short study: Flexibility potential of households for the network-related reduction of demand peaks
In future, increased use of heat pumps and electric cars in the building and transport sectors could create new requirements for network expansion and operation, especially in the low-voltage networks. The increased use of heat pumps and electric cars has an impact on the quantity of electricity demanded and on the temporal structure of electricity demand. Against this backdrop, the question arises as to which flexibility potentials could be used cost-effectively in households in the future. In the context of this study, the flexibility potential of different household types is analysed. The focus here is on the costs of flexibility in time windows that are potentially critical for low-voltage grids. The study is based on the ewi ER&S model for the analysis of consumer behaviour (COMODO) and analyses the flexibility potentials for the year 2030.

On behalf of Nord Stream 2, ewi ER&S analyzed the effects of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline on European wholesale power prices. The study shows that European electricity prices will be between 2.2 to 4.3 €/MWh lower (a 5% to 8% reduction) in a Low LNG price scenario, and 6.5 to 10.7 €/MWh lower in a High LNG price scenario (a 12% to 16% reduction). These lower prices result in a benefit to European consumers of €7bn to €14bn per year in the Low LNG price scenario and €21bn to €35bn per year in the High LNG price scenario.

07Economic assessment of the market development model

Client: ARGE Netz

Economic assessment of the market development model
To extend the current marketing possibilities for electricity from renewable energy sources, Bundesverband Windenergie (BWE) and ARGE Netz propose a market development model. This proposal of changing the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) is supposed to allow a direct retail of renewable electricity from the plant operator to final consumers and at the same time to ensure the proof of the simultaneousness of generation and consumability. ewi ER&S analyses the economic effects of the market development model. For final consumers, the model creates a possibility to show their preference – and thereby their willingness to pay - for consumable renewable power and to purchase it. This allows the plant operators a better marketing option of their consumable renewable power. If production and consumption happen spatially close to each other, this can additionally relieve the grids. The EEG account will not receive additional financial burdens, even reliefs are possible.

dena-Leitstudie Integrierte Energiewende (dena Study on Integrated Energy Transition)
The dena-Leitstudie Integrierte Energiewende develops and compares transformation pathes for the energy system in Germany with the objective to attain the climate-political goals by 2050. It pursues an innovative cross-sector scenario approach. At the same time, it is based on the branch knowledge of more than 60 partners from all relevant sectors and on the continuuos exchange with important actors from politics, society and science. The objective is to give impulses for designing the energy system by 2050. ewi ER&S is the main scientific advisor to the study. The central results of the study say that Germany will be able to attain its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 as well as by 95 % up to the year 2050 if the strains in all sectors are increased. Therefore, the roll-out and system integration of renewable energy sources must be forced, the end energy consumption has to be reduced by extensive energy efficiency efforts, and synthetic regenerative energy sources must be used on a big scale. A broad mix of technologies and energy sources makes the transformation of the energy system more cost-efficient than a fortified use of electricity-based applications.

Cost-efficient realization of sector coupling
The study examines options for a medium-term and long-term attainment of German goals for the reduction of greenhouse gases by 2050. The focus lies on finding cost-optimal development pathes in the energy consumption sectors of buildings, transportation, industry and in the energy sector. The study finds that a technology-open approach is to be preferred to an extensive electrification of the consumption sectors. In addition, the German climate goals are classified into the European context, incentive structures are analyzed from stakeholders' pespectives, and recommendations for a further development of legal frame conditions are yielded. The study was commissioned by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Digitalization and Energy of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIDE).

Central European Gas Market Congestion Analysis
The study assesses whether the Nord Stream 2 pipeline contributes to a division of European gas markets. It demonstrates that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline cannot be used for market separation, under conditions of existing pipeline capacity and local gas consumption. This is due to the fact that in the European internal market, according to the EU’s own market rules, the importers and thus also the consumers are protected against such behaviour. Even if under increased gas demand in East Europe, such a strategy for splitting the market would be neither successful nor effective.

Regional market potentials of cross-sectoral energy services
In this study, we analyze the market potentials of cross-sectoral energy services, i.e., power supply for tenants, battery storage at household level and e-mobility in Germany. We especially focus on the differences between regions. As a start, we describe the general opportunities for companies regarding energy services. Specific models and use cases for the three energy services are depicted in further detail. We then proceed to analyze the market potential in Germany over the next years. The regional analysis is (partially) broken down to postal code level. The results show that for every energy service the distribution of the regional potential is quite different. This is due to several (regionally differing) factors, e.g., density of population, car ownership or photovoltaic installations. Depending on a company’s regional activity this has different strategic implications regarding their portfolio of energy services.

The energy market in 2030 and 2050 – The contribution of gas and heat infrastructure to an efficient CO2 reduction
The study examines which contribution current gas and heat infrastructure can make to an efficient minimization of greenhouse gas by 2030 and 2050 respective. Therefore the study uses a complete energy system model to quantify two possible scenarios for a greenhouse gas reduction correspondent to Germany’s 2030 and 2050 climate goals. In the “Revolution” scenario a forced electrification of final energy consumption is prescribed by the government, so that gas and heat infrastructures will more and more lose importance. In spite of the extensive electrification this is not an “all-electric” scenario, but will clearly develop in that direction. In the “Evolution” scenario there are no governmental prescriptions regarding certain technologies, so that current gas and heat infrastructure can be used continuously as long as it is economically profitable. The focus of the study lies in power and heat markets.

Impacts of Nord Stream 2 on the EU natural gas market
This study focuses on the impacts of the offshore pipeline Nord Stream 2 on European Union (EU) natural gas markets (gas flows and gas prices). Since the impact of Nord Stream 2 crucially depends on the competition between Russian gas and global LNG markets, a combination of the global gas market model COLUMBUS and the European gas infrastructure model TIGER is applied in the analysis. The study finds a price decreasing effect of Nord Stream 2 in the EU-28 overall as well as in each member state individually due to reduced LNG imports if Nord Stream 2 is available compared to a case in which it is not available.

The hype around blockchain provided some rather discouraging scenarios for companies in the German electricity system. Our new analysis recently shows that blockchain currently has no disruptive potential for peer-to-peer power transactions. The study illustrates that while platforms (e.g., based on blockchain technology) for peer-to-peer transactions do not face organizational or regulatory barriers, levies, taxes and surcharges on final consumer power consumption burden the disruptive potential of the technology and hamper deployment. Public blockchain-based platforms will come with additional costs for underlying distributed mechanisms.

As previous studies by ewi ER&S and the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (OIES) showed, there are bottlenecks in the European gas transmission grid. Especially between Germany and Italy, Germany and Austria as well as between the two French market areas, bottlenecks exist. This study focuses on the question if those bottlenecks persist in future. Therefore, two scenarios of OIES with high and low Asian gas demand which influences the European LNG supply are simulated in the European gas infrastructure model TIGER. Infrastructure extensions that are needed to realize the assumptions concerning demand and supply are modelled. The results indicate that especially in the scenario with high Asian demand (low LNG imports to Europe) bottlenecks persist in the European gas infrastructure in 2030.

04Black Swans (Risks) of the “Energiewende”

Client: German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy

Black Swans (Risks) of the “Energiewende”
The “Energiewende“ is of great importance for the energy supply as well as the economic development in Germany. The study at hand supports a political risk management focusing on unexpected or unlikely events (so-called “Black Swans”) and their effects in energy policy and macroeconomy as a whole. Building on this, it has the goal to analyse which (political) precautionary and reaction measures exist. As such, the main task of this study is to identify the principal risks arising from and to the “Energiewende”, in particular the deployment of renewable energies, and to analyse their effects.

02Economic Impacts of a German Coal Phase-Out on the Power Markets in Germany and the EU

Client: ewi ER&S

Economic Impacts of a German Coal Phase-Out on the Power Markets in Germany and the EU
With the study „Economic Impacts of a German Coal Phase-Out on the Power Markets in Germany and the EU“, ewi ER&S takes up a proposal made by the German think tank Agora Energiewende in January 2016 concerning a coal phase-out in Germany. The proposal suggests a combination of two policy measures for the power sector. First, it encourages an early decommissioning of the German coal-fired power plants up to 2040 and, secondly, a retirement of emission allowances from the European emissions trading system in the amount of the mitigated CO2 emissions resulting from the coal phase-out. Based on ewi’s power market model DIMENSION, the study investigates the additional costs and distributional effects of this double-measure for the German and European power markets. The coal phase-out is assessed by economic theory and its projected costs are compared to the amount of CO2 abated.

04EWI Policy Brief: Background National Hydrogen Strategy
Simon Schulte, David Schlund
EWI Policy Brief: Background National Hydrogen Strategy
Hydrogen will have an essential role in the German energy transition. The Federal Government underlines this in its National Hydrogen Strategy. The EWI Policy Brief shows what should be taken into account within the hydrogen strategy. First of all, it is stated that a sluggish expansion of renewable energies and the "chicken-and-egg problem" are hindering the development of a purely green hydrogen economy. Technological neutrality, which does not exclude blue or turquoise hydrogen, is therefore of central importance for a rapid market ramp-up and a high market penetration of hydrogen. Furthermore, even in 2050 more than half of Germany's final energy demand will still have to be covered by imports, especially CO2-neutral synthetic gases and fuels. For this reason, technology neutrality should also be emphasized in the long term to ensure that the decarbonization targets are achieved in an economically efficient manner.

EWI Merit-Order Tool 2020
The EWI Merit-Order Tool enables the determination and graphical representation of an average merit order of the German conventional power plant fleet in 2019. To represent the merit order of the conventional power plants, standard assumptions for the other parameters (fuel price, emission allowance price, transport costs, other variable costs, non-availabilities and emission factors) are defined. Users can vary the underlying assumptions to analyse and visualise the effect of changing fuel prices, power plant shutdowns/constructions or other assumptions on the merit order.

01The effects of the climate protection programme 2030 on the share of renewable energies in the demand for electricity
Max Gierkink, Tobias Sprenger
The effects of the climate protection programme 2030 on the share of renewable energies in the demand for electricity
The EWI analysis shows that Germany could significantly miss the 65 percent target for the share of renewable energies in electricity demand. An EWI team has calculated that gross electricity consumption could rise to 748 terawatt hours (TWh) per year by 2030. At the same time, electricity generation from renewables would rise to 345 TWh per year. The share of renewable energies would thus be only 46 percent instead of the targeted 65 percent. Depending on the assumptions regarding the evolution of electricity demand and the expansion of renewable energies, a range of 39 % to 67 % results.

Fraunhofer Verlag: Stuttgart. 2019. S. 131 ff
Strommärkte und Systemdienstleistungen
The contribution of the authors from EWI and Fraunhofer FIT and FIM is part of the reference work "Energieflexibilität in der deutschen Industrie: Ergebnisse aus dem Kopernikus-Projekt - Synchronisierte und energieadaptive Produktionstechnik zur flexiblen Ausrichtung von Industrieprozessen auf eine fluktuierende Energieversorgung (SynErgie)". The book presents the most important results of the Kopernikus-Projekt SynErgie and illustrates findings for further developments in the field of industrial energy flexibility. The SynErgie research project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is investigating how companies will be able to design their processes and company organization in the future in such a way that energy consumption can be flexibly adapted, at least in part, to the volatile energy supply from renewable energies. The chapter "Electricity markets and system services" is devoted to the basics of electricity market design and the legal framework, with reference to the application to industrial processes and potential obstacles to the participation of flexible demand processes.

01The Climate Protection Programme 2030 and its impacts
Dr. Johannes Wagner, Philipp Theile, Lena Pickert, Tobias Sprenger
The Climate Protection Programme 2030 and its impacts
The calculations of the EWI on the burden and relief of households through the “Klimaschutzprogramm 2030” show the effects of the CO2 price, the commuter allowance, and the EEG compensation. For example, a 3-person family with one commuter in an unrenovated single-family-house with an old oil heating system will have additional costs of 201 euros in 2025. In contrast, a high-income family with two commuters in a partially renovated single-family house will have higher costs of 108 euros in 2025 due to the climate protection programme. For a couple in an unrenovated apartment with a gas heating system without commuters, the effects of CO2 pricing and EEG compensation almost cancel each other out.
