Abstract
Rapporten undersøger, hvordan vindkraft kan integreres i fremtidens danske varme- og transportsektor. Fokus er på varmepumper og elbiler som tekniske løsninger, der kan hjælpe energisystemet med at udnytte mere vindkraft frem mod 2030. To scenarier analyseres: Business-as-Usual (BAU) og et Alternativ, hvor vindpenetration (andel af elproduktionen fra vind) er markant højere end i BAU. For begge scenarier vurderes de tekniske og samfundsøkonomiske konsekvenser ved at indføre varmepumper og elbiler. Rapporten ser også på tilvalg som varmelagre til individuelle varmepumper og elbiler, der kan levere strøm tilbage til nettet (vehicle-to-grid, V2G). På baggrund af disse analyser drages konklusioner om, i hvilken grad varmepumper og elbiler kan bidrage til at integrere vindkraft i Danmarks fremtidige energisystem, og projektets forskningsspørgsmål besvares.
The thesis examines how wind power can be integrated into Denmark’s future energy system, focusing on the heat and transport sectors. It evaluates heat pumps and electric vehicles as technical means to absorb more wind power by 2030. Two scenarios are considered: Business-as-Usual (BAU) and an Alternative with a much higher wind share (wind penetration). For each scenario, the study assesses technical and socio-economic impacts of introducing heat pumps and electric vehicles. It also investigates add-ons such as thermal storage for individual heat pumps and converting electric vehicles to vehicle-to-grid (V2G), allowing cars to feed electricity back to the grid. Based on these analyses, the report draws conclusions about how far heat pumps and electric vehicles can help integrate wind power into Denmark’s future energy system and answers the research question.
