Currently, most photovoltaic (PV) modules are aligned in a way that maximizes the overall annual yields, which leads to significant peaks in electricity production and could threaten energy policy objectives such as security of supply as well as environmental sustainability. The exploitation of...

Detailed information about the potentials and costs of renewable energies is an important input factor for energy system models, as well as commercial and political decision-making processes. With its increasing locally installed capacity and hub height, wind energy plays an important role when...

The paper examines the applicability of available scenarios, prognoses and political target-set-tings of the future development of wind power generation as guiding parameters for the re-search project "FlächEn" which focuses on ecological-economic modelling of a sustainable siting of wind...

Für eine klimaneutrale Energieversorgung muss Deutschland Technologien und Infrastrukturen ausbauen: Es braucht mehr erneuerbare Energien, Wärmepumpen, Elektromobilität, Strom- und Wasserstoffnetze. Um Klimaneutralität zu erreichen, wird das allein aber nicht mehr ausreichen. Wie Deutschland...
