About Mayks presentation

Currently Mayk is modeling the merit order dispatch for 2030 under high renewable penetration of offshore wind and rooftop solar. The hourly prices are simulated for a whole year and show large swings due to the intermittency of renewable. Gas and batteries provide energy during shortages setting prices in these hours. Hereby it is simulated how V2G will operate and what it’s behaviour is on electricity prices. With large adoption of EV and large adoption of V2G these will become price setting at moments and thereby altering its own prices. This is done to analyse the potential and determine where Lightyear should focus on during the design and implementation phase.
