Integrated energy systems and local energy markets
Abstract (Document Summary)
Significant benefits are connected with an increase in the flexibility of the Danish
energy system. On the one hand, it is possible to benefit from trading electricity
with neighboring countries, and on the other, Denmark will be able to make
better use of wind power and other types of renewable energy in the future. This
paper presents the analysis of different ways of increasing flexibility in the Danish
energy system by the use of local regulation mechanisms. This strategy is
compared with the opposite extreme, i.e. trying to solve all balancing problems
via electricity trade on the international market. The conclusion is that it is
feasible for the Danish society to include the CHP plants in the balancing of
fluctuating wind power. There are major advantages in equipping small CHP
plants as well as the large CHP plants with heat pumps. By doing so, it will be
possible to increase the share of wind power from the present 20 to 40%.

formats, or both.

ADVANTAGES OF JOURNAL ARTICLE

accounts of research or scholarship, historical data, overviews,
experts' views on topics. Use a book when you require background

and outline the merits of other explanations and viewpoints which
are in contrast to their views.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.

WHAT IS AN ANNOTATED
BIBLIOGRAPHY?
An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources (like a
reference list). It differs from a straightforward bibliography in that
each reference is followed by a paragraph length annotation,
usually 100–200 words in length.
Depending on the assignment, an annotated bibliography might
have different purposes:
Provide a literature review on a particular subject
Help to formulate a thesis on a subject
Demonstrate the research you have performed on a particular
subject
Provide examples of major sources of information available on a
topic

ADVANTAGES
Better Understanding: Writing an annotated bibliography forces a researcher to better
understand his topic. While you are still collecting sources, begin writing your bibliography.
This allows you to understand where your research fits into the bigger picture. Writing an
annotated bibliography helps you gain prospective on your thesis and develop your point
of view. It also helps you understand what other research already exists regarding your
topic.
Avoid Procrastination: The annotated bibliographies can decrease procrastination.
Requiring students to hand in an annotated bibliography early in the research process
facilitates a more effective use of study time. It also prevents students from intentionally
delaying their research, which often leads to a better grade.
Helps With Research: Help improve research skills. When you are forced to critique each
source, you practice and improve your literary research skills. However, the advantages of
an annotated bibliography do not only apply to your research process. An extensive
annotated bibliography provides a comprehensive overview of a topic. These summaries
can help your readers decide if a source would be useful for their own research.
