Abstract Power provision from biomass is one application, where increasing flexibility can be expected in the short term due to higher shares of wind and photovoltaic. The demand for flexibility in this sector is expected to be very challenging, requiring reaction times of only a few minutes to provide positive or even negative energy to balance grid stability. Biogas, gasification but also combustion units have proven their availability to fulfil these demands, and reduce the demand of load reserve. Highly flexible heat provision in small scale combustion units is not so much an issue at the moment, but is expected prospectively to be due to an increasing supply of heat from solar systems and/or heat from excess energy from wind and photovoltaic (power to heat). Stepwise improvement of the production of biofuels accompanies the transition. To enable technologies to fulfil the additional demands for smaller and more flexible bioenergy provision, the availability of system concepts, combining different modes, dedicated controller and advanced intermediates is a core issue.
