DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Biegel\nThe topic of this talk is the Danish electric
 al power system with special focus on integration of fluctuating renewable
  energy sources. The Danish system made a world record in December 2013 wh
 en more than 50 % of the electricity consumption for an entire month was p
 owered by wind. In this talk\, we look into the developments made over the
  past years making it possible to handle such massive wind penetration\; f
 urther\, we will discuss some of the unfortunate effects that the high win
 d penetration causes. As the wind penetration continues to increase accord
 ing to Danish renewable energy goals over the coming years\, it is expecte
 d that the electrical grid will be even more challenged. This calls for ne
 w\, smart solutions to ensure a functioning and economically efficient sys
 tem – including in periods of high and low wind. For this reason\, Denma
 rk is the country in Europe with the largest number of smart grid projects
 . In this talk\, we present some of the main findings and field-test resul
 ts from these projects. Finally\, we summarize the results by presenting t
 he Danish smart grid model which is our projection of\nhow the Danish elec
 trical system in 2035 with 100 % renewables will look.\nBio: Benjamin Bieg
 el holds a Master of Science degree in automation and control with a prima
 ry focus on wind energy. He completed several large projects during his ma
 ster’s studies\, including a research study at Stanford University in co
 llaboration with Stephen Boyd and at Lund University in collaboration with
  Anders Rantzer. Currently\, Benjamin is working as a PhD student at Aalbo
 rg University in the field of smart grid. Here\, Benjamin collaborates wit
 h a large number of players within the Danish energy system including the 
 power producer DONG Energy\, the wind turbine manufacturer Vestas\, and th
 e Danish Energy Association. The main focus of Benjamin’s research is th
 e integration of renewable energy in the Nordic electrical power system vi
 a optimization and process control.
