European Markets

Germany: high penetration of renewables, PV and small-scale DER-focussed business cases, 80% renewables by 2050 France: Opening DR market, new competitors UK: extensive smart meter rollout, emerging congestion DR markets, many aggregators Eastern Europe: Grid reliability problems, non- technical losses a big opportunity Benelux: Lots of innovation, new flexibility products being tested (TSO, DSO, imbalance) Spain/Portugal: high potential for DR & DER pending regulator action

Highly diverse and require market/asset specific solutions

The US Markets

Texas: Liberalized energy market, enormous price spikes (up to 9000 $ per MWh) California: Monopoly market (one ISO, no retailer choice), 50% of retail electricity from renewables by 2030, high EV uptake Hawaii: Net metering, solar revolution, 100% renewables by 2045 PJM: Commercially viable storage opportunities, competitive wholesale market

Highly diverse and require market/asset specific solutions

Why flexibility? Volatility and overcapacity are the main driver for grid and markets

Traditional energy system Real-time grid & markets

Predictable and controllable Predictable but not controllable Unpredictable but controllable Predictable but not controllable

Generation Demand

SLIDE 15

AutoGrid Systems Inc. – general use

Conditions:

  • Popular support
  • Climate goals
  • Fukushima and Nuclear phase-out
  • Dependency on fossil fuel imports (mainly Russia)
  • Reliable infrastructure (very few outages)

Regulation:

  • open market (EU-wide unbundling)
  • generous subsidies for renewables (EEG)
  • not an equal playing field for all participants (demand/supply, CAPEX/OPEX)

Flexibility Solutions:

  • Heavy on supply-side assets
  • Very little “smart grid” investments
  • Large focus on proof-of-concepts and public funding

Case Study: Software Defined Power Plant

16

Profile:

2 Million customers, Largest wind producer in Holland

Challenge:

High imbalance costs due to intermittency of wind

Solution:

AutoGrid Software Defined Power Plant leads to 100 MW of balancing capacity in the market

Customer:

“By offering us increased control, AutoGrid enables us to integrate flexible energy resources into our portfolio… helping our customers reduce their energy costs and helping us get a higher return on our renewable assets.” Michael Engelen Head of Portfolio Management

AutoGrid Systems Inc. – general use

Conditions:

  • Economics
  • Climate goals
  • Business customer demand (e.g. through power purchasing agreements)
  • Plentiful fossil reserves (fracking boom)
  • Unreliable infrastructure (outages, old peaking power plants)

Regulation:

  • No federal market liberalization
  • Local legislation may provide incentives
  • Primarily designed to provide level playing field (e.g. FERC order 745)

Flexibility Solutions:

  • Heavy on demand side assets
  • Primarily market driven by large tenders
  • Very often directly or indirectly tied to grid issues

(e.g. avoiding new transmission lines)
