内容简介：
The integration and balancing of large shares of renewable energy into the power sector is emerging as one of the central challenges for the future of clean energy and environment. Many countries are moving towards high shares of “variable” renewables like wind and solar, including China. California will achieve 33% renewables by 2020. Germany is already at 25%, with some daily peaks of up to 75%. Yet electricity markets and the power industry itself have been slow to evolve in response to this challenge.
The regulatory and policy challenges of renewables integration are very complex, and are becoming a central aspect of clean energy policy. These challenges include electricity market design, electricity pricing, capacity mandates, transmission and distribution planning, control of distributed generation resources, sufficiency of hourly ramping capacity, integration of “smart” inverters, grid interconnection rules, business models for demand management and energy storage, the changing role of traditional electric power companies, and the interaction between distribution and transmission grids in terms of ownership, regulatory jurisdiction, products and pricing, and technical control.
Dr. Martinot recently spent 12 weeks in Germany and 6 weeks in California doing intensive interview research, learning what Germany and California are doing today to integrate high shares of renewables, and how thinking about the future is changing. He will present some of his initial research findings, along with background on global renewable energy market and policy trends.
