Integrated Flexible Resources and Energy Markets in the Danish Multi-energy System

The core concept of the multi-energy system (MES) brings new insights for flexible resources. Integrated flexible resources (IFR) and the ancillary integrated energy market (IEM) become critical and effective measures to ensure reliable and flexible operation of the future MES. This paper firstly introduces the basic concept and the benefits of IFR. The existing status and future energy markets integration in Denmark are then summarized. Finally, the research opportunities of IFR and the IEM in the MES are proposed.
