The future European power system will include large shares of variable wind and solar resources. This paper analyses the variability for the eHighway 2050 scenarios (from the EU 7th Framework project) by modelling wind and solar resources from the COSMO-EU model. It quantifies the variability for the countries in West Central Europe, separate for each country, and integrated assuming there is no transmission...
Due to an upcoming shift from a power system dominated by dispatchable thermal power plants to a system shaped by renewable energy sources with intermittent feed-in the issue of generation adequacy gains in importance. Despite the European pursuit of a sustainable generation system, the claim for a certain level of security of supply remains which requires investments in new power plants in the long...
Nowadays, power system strategic planning plays a significant role due to long-term ambitious goals imposed by many countries and regions. These objectives involve, amongst others, the inclusion of renewable energies in the electrical power system. Furthermore, spatial clustering methods are widely used in geography-related analyses to identify relevant areas for business decision making, especially...
At present, European countries are seeking ways to reduce carbon emissions. To achieve this, they have set ambitious emissions reduction goals. Thus, in this paper, a novel strategic planning methodology is used in order to determine the most appropriate power system for Europe by the year 2050. The planning methodology jointly optimizes generation and transmission expansion alternatives considering...
The European Union and other European countries have imposed targets to drastically reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases in the future. Those targets are from a today's perspective very ambitious making an extensive restructuring of the electric power system necessary, principally because the inclusion of renewables. Concerning this restructuration not a single but multiple paths are possible...
The combination of offshore wind generation with international transmission cables is a highly discussed topic in Europe, especially for the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The offshore wind park location Kriegers Flak in the Baltic Sea could combine offshore wind generation in the Swedish, German and Danish zones, and several design options with regard to cabling are under discussion. Choosing a certain...
A major power system challenge to achieving 20 percent of U.S. electric energy from wind energy is to reliably balance electrical generation and load over time with a large portion of energy coming from a variable, non-dispatchable power source. While this is a substantial challenge, with some changes in power system operation and planning, there would be no insurmountable technical barriers to achieving...
