PED Thematic Deep-dive #4: Flexibility and Climate Impact Assessment for PED

Description

Better understanding Positive and Clean Energy Districts (PCEDs) - a relatively novel term encompassing not only an energy but also emissions
(neutrality) based taxonomy - requires the definition of clearly delienated boundaries and standardized definitions, to accurately measure their environmental and socio-economic effects. Flexibility is crucial in an energy system centered around variable renewable energy (VRE) sources. It ensures a continuous balance between energy demand and supply across all time scales. Additionally, flexibility helps address constraints in the energy transport and distribution infrastructure. But how does flexibility services impact climate emissions from a PED and can we structure flexibility incentives that also relates to the mission of 100 climate neutral and smart cities? That is something we want to focus on in the discussion and finally, we will wrap up the session with a discussion and investigate the role of research & innovation to speed up the applicability of climate impact assessment & flexibility services.
