Cez Group 2019 Annual Report Worldreginfo - 2E04da80-7A31-48A5-8F3d-1Fa2c095b18e Coal-Fired Power Plants in the European Union Are Under a Lot of Pressure cez group 2019 annual report WorldReginfo - 2e04da80-7a31-48a5-8f3d-1fa2c095b18e Coal-fired power plants in the European Union are under a lot of pressure. Many countries have already made a commitment to shut them down. In Czechia, they will be decommissioned around 2050 mainly because we will run out of coal. Our coal-fired power plants are linked up with mines, which gives them stability and security of supply in face of future uncertainty and makes them able to remain profitable the longest among competitors. As for power plants located outside mining regions, we will continue phasing them out according to environmental limits. We are not planning to make any considerable investments in our conventional generation portfolio. Our nuclear power plants, as zero-emission generating facilities, are certain to remain profitable in the future. Besides ensuring their long-term operation, we will focus on the preparation of a new facility, for the construction and development of which we will provide personnel, among other things. As regards renewables, Czechia currently exceeds the 13% target for using renewable energy in the electricity, heating, and transportation sectors. However, the National Energy and Climate Plan sets a new target of 21% for 2030. Naturally, we want to be a leader in this field. We know our way around renewables and we know how. We now want to transfer our experience to Czechia more intensely to allow domestic consumers take advantage of it. The new energy sector means great opportunities for our country. We will seek new opportunities in the energy services market to remain number one. This will not be possible without technological innovation, new products, and new services. WorldReginfo - 2e04da80-7a31-48a5-8f3d-1fa2c095b18e Distribution is going to undergo a big change—digitization. We will digitize many standard routine activities. This will allow us to handle more customer requests, increase the number of projects built, or install and operate new technologies and other innovations. By digitizing, we will also get data from the network faster and reduce its error rate. This change will allow us to control most network elements remotely. We are also planning big investments in the expansion of optical networks directly on power lines because the future will bring huge amounts of data. A number of small-scale producers as well as consumers connect to the network, consumers will also become producers, and all of this will have an impact on busy online communications. We will offer our new, robust optical networks to mobile phone operators planning to switch to 5G. Besides distribution, digitization will also considerably influence the sales of our products. Our ČEZ Prodej has long been more than just an electricity and gas supplier. Our customers perceive us as a fair provider of thermal comfort, electric mobility, household solutions, and other services. And we want to be even stronger in this. We will also focus on our service. Our goal is to maintain and expand a satisfied customer base. Like distribution, ČEZ Prodej is also going to undergo a huge change—the digitization of our activities. Customers want to do everything online and preferably in a single step. That is why we are now going to concentrate on making customers’ contact with us simpler and on streamlining our internal operations. Czechia, as well as Europe, is moving toward digitization, automation, Industry 4.0, and smart buildings and homes. Municipalities, businesses, and homeowners want to reduce consumption, optimize it throughout the day, take advantage of decentral generation. At the same time, the entire European Union is preparing for very strict targets for energy efficiency and savings. Therefore, businesses and municipalities will invest billions of euros in ESCO solutions. This is a huge opportunity for the whole European ESCO sector, which is forecast to be growing at double-digit rates. ČEZ has already built a strong position in Slovakia, Germany, and Poland, and we want to further reinforce this position.

  • An Industrial Strategy for Solar in Europe
    An industrial strategy for solar in Europe SolarPower Europe would like to thank the members of its Industrial Competitiveness Task Force that contributed to this report including: Chair Vice-chairs Sponsor Members: FOREWORD: THE SOLAR VALUE CHAIN: A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR EUROPE As policymakers, investors and consumers increasingly enjoy the benefits of clean, flexible and low-cost solar power, solar technology has become the world’s most popular power generation source. In 2018, more solar power capacity was installed than all fossil fuel and nuclear sources combined, and almost twice as much as wind. In the coming years, SolarPower Europe anticipates 2-digit annual market growth in Europe, with solar playing a major role in meeting Europe’s 32% renewables target by 2030, and beyond. The potential for growth is indeed significant, as the latest studies suggest solar could cover 69% of Europe’s electricity generation in a 100% renewable scenario, with over 2 TW installed in 2050.1 Beyond its significant contribution to Europe’s clean energy future, the solar industrial value chain holds promise for Europe. It is highly innovative and offers modular, easily deployable energy solutions, able to quickly benefit from the effects of scale. Today, solar already provides both low-cost and highly efficient large-scale centralised solutions and decentralised consumer-oriented business models, enabling the creation of local and highly qualified jobs in Europe. Solar energy is an agile technology, it offers a high degree of flexibility and provides valuable services to the electricity grid. Combined with its low-cost profile and scalability, solar is a fundamental driver for the full decarbonisation of the European economy, providing highly efficient and sustainable electrification and, in a near future, converting green electrons into renewable molecules.

  • Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector Regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation
    Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation Prof. Dr. Ingela Tietze, Pia Szichta, B.A. & Lukas Lazar, M.Sc. Institute for Industrial Ecology, Business School, Pforzheim University, Tiefenbronner Str. 75, D-75175 Pforzheim, Germany Phone: +49 7231 / 28-6361, Email: [email protected] Abstract Reaching the central objective of the Paris Agreement requires additional strategies in the European energy sector towards the (financing of) decarbonisation of electricity production. Sharing approaches imply a shift to a decentralised structure in the energy sector and deliver a possibility for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Main drivers and barriers for increased involvement of private capital and decarbonisation through sharing approaches in the electricity sector are addressed in this paper. Definitions, descriptions and characteristics of sharing economy in general and in specific for the electricity sector are investigated. Moreover, a multiple case analysis examines three selected case studies regarding their fit with sharing economy’s characteristics. Main drivers for the increased private capital involvement are lower investment levels and a higher degree of independence from centralised electric utilities due to the decentralised infrastructure of renewable electricity generation technologies. The main barriers are missing financial incentives for local energy and high requirements for small electricity suppliers which reduce the attractiveness for private capital involvement. We found that the integration of renewable energies and the visualisation of costs in the sharing economy concepts can lead to an increased decarbonisation rate and further environmental benefits. Consequently, we impose policy makers to consider a more favourable market environment for renewable generation capacities in sharing economy approaches to support the benefits involved.

Thus, the existing electrical grid may reach its physical limits. To counteract this, and to fully exploit the viable potential of renewables, grid-balancing measures are crucial. In this work, battery storage systems are embedded in a grid simulation to evaluate their potential for grid balancing. The overall setup is based on a real, low-voltage distribution grid topology, real smart meter household load profiles, and real photovoltaics load data. An autonomous optimization routine, driven by a one-way communicated incentive, determines the prospective battery operation mode. Different battery positions and incentives are compared to evaluate their impact. The configurations incorporate a baseline simulation without storage, a single, central battery storage or multiple, distributed battery storages which together have the same power and capacity.

    DEGREE PROJECT IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2021 Energy Usage of Smart Wayside Object Controllers An investigation and theoretical implementation of feasible energy storage and energy harvesting technologies in connection to a railway system ALEXANDRA JERRESAND MICAELA DIAMANT KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT i Abstract With climate change threatening life, countries worldwide have united to limit the damages generated by humanity to the world. For a sustainable future, it will be essential to utilise energy in more efficient ways. Energy harvesting in the form of renewable resources and innovative solutions for industries are some answers to an improved tomorrow. The net-zero greenhouse emission target by 2045 in Sweden puts pressure on the energy-demanding sectors to find intelligent new ways to support their processes. For the railway industry, this results in digitalisation and new smart systems to optimise the railway operations to create an updated, more competitive and resource-efficient transport system in Sweden and Europe. This master thesis work is developed through a European research program to investigate the energy usage for wayside objects. In order to analyse these subjects, two primary objectives were decided. The first main objective was to distinguish and create an energy system in connection to the railway system, and also implement Smart Wayside Object Controllers, SWOCs. The second objective was to find such a system's potential, specifically for a case study in Sweden. To reach the objectives, the thesis work has been combining both a quantitative and qualitative research method. Data have been collected partly from a literature review and partly from gatherings by the cooperating companies, Alstom and Trafikverket.

  • Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden
    Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden Sam Molavi William Bydén May 2018 Bachelor of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2018 TRITA-ITM-EX 2018:427 SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Bachelor of Science Thesis EGI-2018 TRITA-ITM-EX 2018:427 Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden Sam Molavi William Bydén Approved Examiner Supervisor Björn Laumert Rafael Eduardo Guédez Mata Commissioner Contact person Abstract In this research, four of the most common business models for Swedish photovoltaic (PV) prosumers were analyzed through a business case study. The costs and revenues related to adopting these prosumer business models for a household were examined and their economic viability was measured using the Net Present Value- and Payback method. The markets of PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Sweden were researched in order to provide an overview of the potential for future prosumers in Sweden. Relevant actors and business models have been described and analyzed. Furthermore, Sweden’s energy structure as a whole and its potential transformation to a more decentralized and prosumer friendly system has been discussed. The business case study results show that the most economically beneficial business model for prosumers today in Sweden is through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The business model where the prosumer owns a PV system proved to be the second best option which also was calculated to be economically beneficial. Leasing a PV system or owning a combined PV- and BESS were proven to not be economically beneficial. Sammanfattning I den här rapporten har fyra av de vanligaste affärsmodellerna för Svenska solcells-prosumers analyserats genom en business case study.

The literature provides a wide range of conceptual ideas and analyses on the technical and economic framework of single market features such as peer-to-peer trading. The feasible, system-wide integration of energy communities into existing market structures requires, however, a set of legal adjustments to national regulation. In this paper, we test the implications of recently proposed market designs under the current rules in the context of the German market. The analysis is facilitated by a simplistic equilibrium model representing heterogeneous market participants in an energy community with their respective objectives. We find that, on the one hand, these proposed designs are financially unattractive to prosumers and consumers under the current regulatory framework. On the other hand, they even cause distributional effects within the community when local trade and self-consumption are exempt from taxes.

  • Blockchain in the Electricity Market: Identification and Analysis of Business Models
    Blockchain in the Electricity Market: Identification and Analysis of Business Models Alisa Orlov Supervisor: Professor Mette Helene Bjørndal, NHH Master thesis, MSc in Economics and Business Administration Major: Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment Norwegian School of Economics & HEC Paris Bergen / Jouy-en-Josas, Autumn 2017 This thesis was written as a part of the Double Degree programme between the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH and the Master of Science in Sustainability and Social Innovation at HEC Paris. Please note that neither the institutions nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. Abstract This paper aims to identify the business models used by blockchain-based initiatives and projects in the electricity market and identify how they affect it. This research examines the market trends within the electricity market as well as general socioeconomic and technological developments. This paper is based on a conceptual analysis of case studies that utilise blockchain technology in the electricity market and an empirical evaluation of considerations that have to be made when implementing a peer-to-peer energy-trading platform. For the conceptual analysis, a four-dimensional business model framework has been defined. To specify the dimensions of the business model, categories and characteristics have been identified that have been determined to be characteristic to the 22 analysed case studies. Seven business model archetypes were subsequently derived from the initial four-dimensional review of the case studies. This paper adds value to both research and practice in three ways.
