Abstract
Key messages:
- Future capacity requirements are driven by electrification of heating and road transportation.
- Hybrid heating systems switching from electric to gas heating operations during cold weather events reduce electricity demand for residential space heating.
- Electric vehicle charging control can significantly limit capacity requirements of the electricity grid.
