Integrating a high share of electricity from non-dispatchable Renewable Energy Sources in a power supply system is a challenging task. One option considered in many studies dealing with prospective power systems is the installation of storage devices to balance the fluctuations in power...

Renewable energy is a cornerstone of German climate change policies. Germany has adopted particularly ambitious renewable energy targets, and is now implementing an Energiewende – a transition to a nuclear-free and low-carbon energy system. The transition could be eased through European...

A fast growth of installed wind power capacity has been experienced in several European countries. In Germany, notably high wind power capacities are planned in the North. If the existing transmission capacities between individual regions become insufficient, the electricity prices will differ...

Recent developments in electricity markets such as the increased deployment of variable renewable generation have prompted renewed interest over the role of energy storage. While storage technologies can in principle provide various benefits for the functioning of an electrical grid, many energy...

Im Rahmen der Energiewende ist festgelegt, den Anteil erneuerbarer Energien bis zum Jahr 2050 auf mindestens 80% des Bruttostromverbrauchs zu steigern. Im Kontext der Diskussionen des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes 2016 (EEG 2016) gibt es eine Diskussion über den Zusammenhang zwischen den...

Die Umsetzung der Energiewende erfordert einen weiteren starken Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland. Jedoch werden in der energiepolitischen Debatte immer wieder Zweifel geäußert, ob eine weitgehend auf fluktuierender Wind- und Solarenergie basierende Energieversorgung möglich...
