In the future, an additional potential of control reserve as well as storage capacities will be required to
compensate fluctuating renewable energies. The operation of energy systems will change and
flexibility in energy production and consumption will rise to a valuable asset for system operators.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are capable to provide this needed flexibility, not only with
their power generators but also in terms of the energy consumption of aggregates on the plant. In a
research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education, Research and Technology
(BMBF), the participation and contribution of WWTPs to such a volatile energy market was
investigated.

Keywords
Control energy, energetic flexibility, load-shifting, power-to-gas, wastewater treatment plants.
