Renewable electric energy integration : quantifying the value of design of markets for international transmission capacity

Neuhoff, Karsten; Boyd, Rodney; Grau, Thilo; Barquin, Julian - 2011

Integrating large quantities of supply-driven renewable electricity generation remains a political and operational challenge. One of the main obstacles in Europe to installing at least 200 GWs of power from variable renewable sources is how to deal with the insufficient network capacity and the...

Power system transformation towards renewables : an evaluation of regulatory approaches for network expansion

Egerer, Jonas; Rosellón, Juan; Schill, Wolf-Peter - 2013

We analyze various regulatory regimes for electricity transmission investment in the context of a transformation of the power system towards renewable energy. We study distinctive developments of the generation mix with different implications on network congestion, assuming that a shift from...

Implementing EU renewable energy policy at the subnational level : navigating between conflicting interests

Lepesant, Gilles - Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis - 2016

The European Union (EU) has set targets for gradually reducing greenhouse gas emissions through 2050. One of the instruments involved is the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, which specifies a 20 per cent renewable energy target for the EU by 2020. This paper reviews tensions and institutional...

Emission pathways towards a low-carbon energy system for Europe : a model-based analysis of decarbonization scenarios

Hainsch, Karlo; Burandt, Thorsten; Kemfert, Claudia; … - 2018

The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Germany and Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical optimization model, is used to compute low-carbon scenarios for...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of green waste : an environmental and economic assessment of HTC coal in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany

Medick, Jakob; Teichmann, Isabel; Kemfert, Claudia - 2017

Based on a life-cycle sustainability assessment and the calculation of carbon abatement costs, we quantify the greenhouse-gas emission reductions and costs if green waste in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany, is diverted from composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized...

Balancing reserves within a decarbonized European electricity system in 2050 : from market developments to model insights

Lorenz, Casimir - 2017

This paper expands the discussion about future balancing reserve provision to the long-term perspective of 2050. Most pathways for a transformation towards a decarbonized electricity sector rely on very high shares of fluctuating renewables. This can be a challenge for the provision of balancing...
