Power flow tracing through Germany's transmission grid — •Jonas Hörsch1, Mirko Schäfer1, Sarah Becker1,3,4, Stefan Schramm1, and Martin Greiner2 — 1Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS), Goethe-Universität, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany — 2Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark — 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Kassel, 34121 Kassel, Germany — 4Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Integration and Energy Systems Technology (IWES), 34119 Kassel, Germany
Increasing shares of fluctuating renewable sources and a deeper integration of the European electricity markets call for the extension and efficient use of the transmission structure. A fair allocation scheme of its operation and capital costs to participating parties should take an appropriate measure of their grid usage into account.
This talk introduces 1) a flow tracing algorithm for dissecting the power flows into its constituent flows originating from different types or groups of generators and ending at individual consumers and 2) the aggregation of the partial flows over several representative years into such a measure of grid usage.
We demonstrate it on the model of a highly renewable German electricity system embedded in a simplified European grid by determining the relative impacts due to 1) wind, solar and conventional power generation and to 2) consumption and generation in each of the Bundesländer.
