Electricity generated from a wind farm will travel to a transmission substation, where it is stepped up to a high voltage in the region of 150-800 kV. It is then distributed along the electricity grid power lines to the consumer. Wind is a form of solar energy, the result of uneven heating of the earth’s atmosphere by the sun and. . Through several different storage processes, excess energy can be stored to be used during periods of lower wind or higher demand. . Electrical batteries are commonly used in solar energy applications and can be used to store wind generated power. Lead acid batteries are a suitable choice as they are well suited to trickle. . Hydrogen fuel cells can also be used to store excess energy. A hydrogen generator is used to electrolyse water using power generated from the wind turbine, storing the. . Wind turbines can use excess power to compress air, this is usually stored in large above-ground tanks or in underground caverns. When required the compressed air can be used through. [pdf]

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), also known as inter-seasonal thermal energy storage, is the storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months. The thermal energy can be collected whenever it is available and be used whenever needed, such as in the opposing season. For example, heat from solar collectors or from air conditioning equipment can be gathered in hot months for space heating use when needed, including during winter months.. [pdf]
Reaching the stated target of 100% decarbonisation of the Danish district heating systems by 2030 involves ongoing integration of renewable energy resources, for example solar power and wind power, via large heat pumps and geothermal heating; large-scale and seasonal heat storage, and increased harvest of industrial waste heat.
The heat infrastructure planning strategically integrated CHPs further into the Danish energy system. The heat supply areas for district heating and the Danish North Sea natural gas were also mapped via a nation-wide planning process referred to as ‘zoning’ [8, 9, 57, 59, 60].
During the webinar, Nielsen gave three reasons why the efficiency of the Dronninglund seasonal storage is significantly better than that of the Marstal system: The Dronninglund seasonal storage is connected to the district heating grid via a heat pump. This makes for lower storage temperatures throughout the year, which reduces heat losses.
Shifts in Danish energy policy related to the ongoing low-carbon energy transitions in Denmark are examined in Ref. . Focussing on energy flexibility, it explores the policy changes that affected the previous, strong support for Danish district heating.
Other unique features of the Danish district heating sector include large-scale collective heat planning, the mandatory connection, the non-profit principle, the same approximate price for customers irrespective of heat density, and the relatively high average price of district heating.
The Danish government published the Energy 2000 Action Plan in 1990, the first low-carbon energy transition strategy in the world. This energy plan prioritized the integration of renewable energy resources into the Danish energy system and planned for phasing coal out of the system.
