Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility

Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility Wind and solar variability need enhanced flexibility from hydro and thermal units
• Minimum residual demand is very far less that the minimum demand without renewables; • Ramping gradient of 1 hour is likely to cause sharp jumps in the residual demand. 9
Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility Flexibility from Interconnections Existing 400 kV double circuits with Spain: 1400 MW Launched feasibility study with Portugal : up to 2000 MW
Flexibility from Hydropower Plants Existing gravitational hydroplants (with reservoirs): 1000 MW Existing pumped storage hydroplants (PSHP): 464 MW Future PSHP: 950 MW
Flexibility from Combined Cycles Existing CCGT: 830 MW Future CCGT (Gas-to-Power Project) : 2400 MW
