VISION, TARGET AND FUTURE
CHALLENGES
Key idea of the demonstration platform
Demonstration platform of
smart energy system to enable
fossil free energy system
delivering customer value
Åland Smart Energy Platform - Target
Platform for demonstrations enabling 100 % renewable energy
system
(cid:127) How to solve the challenge: Fundamental change in power
system operation
– From variable loads to variable generation
– Increase flexibility by novel technology, management and design
principles by cost efficient solutions
(cid:127) Holistic viewpoint
– Not about finding one silver bullet but connecting all solutions to
study interactions of solutions
– All energy sectors, actors and technologies are linked together to
increase flexibility
(cid:127) Leverage of unique local advantages: Small enough local
system, agility, all actors
(cid:127) Stakeholder value. Upscaling in global markets.

Market is enabler - How to design flexibility promoting market for
an area with 100 % renewable energy?
(cid:127) Key research questions worldwide
– How to promote optimal cross-border energy flows
– High share of RES => need and high value for flexibility => requirement for
novel energy market design
(cid:127) Related issues that need to be considered
– Network tariff structure – needs and possibilities for novel tariff design
– Incentives for customer participation, sharing of costs and benefits
– Role of stakeholders and conflict of interests; customers, TSO, DSO,
retailers, aggregators, new market players from other domains?
– Role of microgrids / energy communities from market perspective
– Role of CHP, gas and heating (district heating, heat pumps, electric heating)
