Abstract
The main aim of biomass utilization in a future, sustainable energy and resource system must be to cover everything which cannot be covered by other sustainable sources. Among being a sustainable carbon source, this must be providing controllable technologies in order to compensate for the volatility of most renewable energy sources as well as the demands among the different sectors. However, most of the existing technologies currently in the market and those in research are not able to provide this flexibility, since their concepts and in particular their control strategies were not designed for highly flexible operation. Thus, new and more advanced control strategies, able to handle strongly varying operating conditions (fuel variations, load modulation, etc.) automatically, and ensuring an optimal interaction of all the production units, storages and consumers on system level, have to be developed. In the paper, a general discussion of the requirements and the state-of-the-art is given, and specific approaches on technological and system level are presented, and their potential regarding flexibility provision is evaluated based on industrial applications, clearly showing the high potential of flexibility provision to multi-energy systems by bioenergy through model-based control.
