3 The energy system is changing
Europe is in the middle of a historic transition of the energy system - Denmark has a leading position By 2020, wind power must constitute 50% of the electricity consumption; in 2013 it constituted 32%. By 2050, Denmark must be 100% fossil-free. Date - Doc. no.

4 Electricity production in wind power scenario
(TWh/year) Fluctuating power production Fluctuating power production Februar 2014 Smart Grid - Smart Energy

6 Integration of energy systems
Ressource Energy-system Energy service Sustainable energy Flexible and efficient (economy and energy) Low and stable prices R&D towards an energy system based on renewables

7 Important messages Improved energy efficiency
Increased electrification in the transport and heating sectors Flexible consumption, international marked integration, and interconnections reduce the need for thermal peak production The gas system and RE gasses is an important mean to ensure security of supply and integration of biomass and fluctuating renewables High temperature heat from conversion processes should be integrated to get a high system efficiency Robust marked solutions and an efficient information infrastructure is a precondition

8 The technologies that needs research and development

9 Final statements Integration of energy systems is a key solution in optimizing the energy system RD&D in energy efficient technologies connecting the different energy networks are needed Cooperation among Member States are needed to develop common solutions The Integrated Road map and funding through Horizon2020 and ERA-NETs are necessary mediators
