FUTURE
OF SMART GRID
22.03. 2013
SMART GRID
DEVELOPMENT
IN NEXT STEP
CITY
• We are striving for to attract the world’s
leading developers of smart grid
infrastructure technologies
• SE and its partners are currently building
the intelligent power system of tomorrow –
the smart grid
• Next Step City is the R&D hub at the new
SE HQ. This facility houses leading smart

to the SE grid infrastructure.
THE
OPPORTUNITY…
• Denmark’s renewable energy ambition in Energy Strategy 2050
presents sizeable challenges, and demands significant advances when
it comes to creating the energy system of the future
• We are already the world’s largest investor in smart grid technology,
and we currently have the best smart grid infrastructure in Europe
• We have established several ongoing living lab projects, which provide
us with valuable experience and big data
AGENDA
• SMART GRID: WHY DENMARK?

• Denmark still strives to maintain its position as global leader in the wind industry
• The EU is set to implement energy policies in Europe based on the Danish energy efficiency model
DENMARK ALREADY
HOLDS A STRONG
INTERNATIONAL POSITION
The first steps have been made towards giving the
industry a unique development potential
According to report JRC Reference Report “Smart grid projects in europe”
SMART GRID

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LOCAL
PRODUCTION IN THE SE
DISTRIBUTION NET – ESPECIALLY
WIND
• The energy sources in the future
power system will fluctuate greatly
• Wind power is to be the primary
energy source by 2050,
accompanied by solar power, heat
pumps, biomass and waste heat
• There is already a significant
amount of local wind energy
production in the SE distribution

WHO SOLVES THE
NEXT STEP CHALLENGE?
Today, the base load can be significantly increased, but it must be monitored
in order to avoid short-term and future peak issues
Consumption vs. net capacity, 2013
(examples)
Percentage of capacity usage
The vast majority of our transformers
are in the “safety zone” with a lot of
spare capacity. Therefore, free
usage of our existing assets is a
priority, as hot-spots (peak issues)
are extremely rare

SE is developing innovative marketdriven value propositions and business
models to increase the base load
The combination of an increase in
base load and more peak issues
necessitates close monitoring of the
development in capacity usage in
order to react at the tipping point –
from asset sweating to peak shaving

DENMARK ALREADY HAS WHAT
IT TAKES FOR AN EFFECTIVE
IT INFRASTRUCTURE
• The power system of the future will be extremely complex, and the volume
of information needing to be gathered, communicated and processed will
increase dramatically. Therefore, an effective IT infrastructure is vital.
