ETI’s Strategy Analyst Alex Buckman presents “Balancing supply and demand in the energy system” at the All Energy 2017 Conference in Glasgow.Energy balancing is critical and extends beyond the electricity systemNumerous opportunities to achieve balancing include:Energy storageDemand side flexibilityVector integrationKey decisions that lead to new energy systems will affect how much and what type of flexibility is needed.There is a huge amount of potential that we do not currently understand about balancing within a whole energy system.It is possible to assess the requirements for future flexibility – tools and evidence are being developed to help with this.
