In northern Europe wind energy became a dominating renewable energy source due to natural conditions and national support schemes. However, the uncertainty about wind generation affects existing network infrastructure and power production planning of generators and cannot not be fully diminished...

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...

Security of transmission is a crucial element of any electricity systems. Due to the highly meshed structure of the European power system, single outages can lead to significant disturbances in the whole system. This paper describes the process of the contingency analysis, and determines...

The ramp-up of the hydrogen economy is crucial for a carbon-neutral energy system. This paper presents six design features for a support mechanism for hydrogen technologies: it should be tailormade for specific hydrogen applications, neutral towards hydrogen production technologies, related to...

The North and Baltic Sea Grid is one of the largest pan-European infrastructure projects raising high hopes regarding the potential of harnessing large amounts of renewable electricity, but also concerns about the implementation in largely nationally dominated regulatory regimes. The paper...

In its Green Paper on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies, the European Commission calls for a framework for the future development of environment and energy policy beyond 2020. However, much like the Energy Roadmap 2050 adopted by the Commission in December 2011, the Green Paper is...
