Decentralized systems seeking to balance electricity supply and demand regionally are increasingly being discussed. Regional flexibility concepts, however, require spatially and temporally highly resolved knowledge. To provide this, we investigate the 2030 demand, supply, and demand-side flexibility for the German NUTS-3 regions. We (1) model the hourly regional electricity demand and supply, (2) cluster regions with regard to the regional demand and supply fit and (3) evaluate demand response for the identified clusters. While in windy or industrialized regions, the impact of demand response is low, in urban regions on the other hand, the effectiveness of flexible end uses is higher and residual load is flattened. Regions with medium-sized cities or those with smaller energy-intensive industries show a good regional fit. Here, demand response can be used very effectively to increase the regionally consumed share of electricity.

越来越多地讨论寻求在区域内平衡电力供需的分散系统。但是，区域灵活性概念需要在空间和时间上高度解析的知识。为此，我们调查了德国NUTS-3地区2030年的需求，供应和需求方灵活性。我们（1）对每小时的区域电力需求和供应进行建模；（2）关于区域需求和供应适合度的集群区域；（3）对已识别出的集群进行需求响应评估。在多风或工业化地区，需求响应的影响很小，而在城市地区，灵活的最终用途的有效性更高，剩余负载也变得平坦。具有中型城市或能源密集型产业较小的地区显示出良好的区域适合性。这里，
