G-PST/ESIG Webinar: P2X and Future Sector Coupling in Denmark
June 10 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Anders Bavnhøj Hansen
Featured Speaker: Anders Bavnhøj Hansen, Chief Engineer, Energinet
Webinar Abstract: Denmark aims to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2045, with a power system based on renewables by 2030. Wind and solar capacities are expected to increase more than fivefold over the next decade, providing the electricity needed for the electrification of transport and heating, and supporting new large Power-to-X plants. This system will feature a significant amount of power-electronic interfaced production and consumption, fundamentally changing its dynamics. Energinet is responsible for the power, gas, and upcoming hydrogen systems in Denmark, and thus for developing a highly integrated and sector-coupled energy system. This presentation will discuss the necessary system development and R&D pathways to facilitate this transition.
About the Speaker: Anders Bavnhøj Hansen is Chief Engineer in the department of system development at Energinet (TSO for power, gas and hydrogen in Denmark). His fields of expertise are strategic planning of integrated energy systems and R&D strategy development. He has been working at Energinet for more than 10 years and before that worked with the energy system analysis team at the Danish Energy Agency and with power system analysis at ABB Corporate Research in Sweden.
