Studying a large number of scenarios is necessary to consider the uncertainty inherent energy transition. In addition, integration intermittent renewable sources requires complex system models. Typical days clustering commonly used technique ensure computational tractability optimisation models, while keeping an hourly time step. Its capability accurately approximate full-year series with reduced has been demonstrated (i.e., priori evaluation). However, its impact on results model posteriori...
Abstract A detailed assessment of a low energy demand, 1.5 ∘ C compatible pathway is provided for Europe from bottom-up, country scale modelling perspective. The level detail enables clear representation the potential sufficiency measures. Results show that by 2050, 50% final demand reduction compared to 2019 possible in Europe, with at least 40% it attributable various measures across all sectors. This 77% renewable share 2040 and 100% very limited need imports outside no carbon...
To decrabonise the entire energy system, introduction of large shares variable renewable electricity generation will be needed. Long term system planing models are useful to improve understanding decarbonisation pathways but struggle take into account short variations associated with increased penetration renewables. This can generate misleading signals regarding levels flexibility required in system. paper addresses this gap by a innovative bi-directional soft-linking methodology between...
Emerging economies are experiencing significant growth, which implies a booming demand for energy, especially electricity. In order to meet the 2050 climate target, this growth will have rely mainly on renewable energy. This contrasts with fossil fuel-based experienced by developed countries. paper analyses, case of Uganda, difference between energy development and leapfrogging one. The analysis covers all sectors (electricity, heat mobility) shows that priority should be given mobility....
This paper extends the concepts of epsilon-optimal spaces and necessary conditions for near-optimality from single-objective to multi-objective optimisation. These notions are first presented optimisation, mathematical formulation is adapted address framework. Afterwards, we illustrate newly developed methodology by conducting multi-sectoral planning Belgian energy system with an open-source model called EnergyScope TD. The cost invested in used as objectives. Optimal efficient solutions...
Energy is vital to reduce poverty and improve social economic development.For more than a century, modern economies have based their growth on fossil fuels, which has led global warming, environmental pollution, problems.In accordance with the Paris Agreement (2015), governments committed evaluating energy systems seek appropriate solutions support decarbonization keep warming well below 2 o C. In order achieve this objective, developing countries are making considerable efforts, among...
Planning the defossilization of energy systems by facilitating high penetration renewables and maintaining access to abundant affordable primary resources is a nontrivial multi-objective problem. However, so far, most long-term policies decrease carbon footprint our societies consider cost system as leading indicator in models. This paper first develop novel approach adding return on investment (EROI) whole optimization model. We built database with all EROI technologies considered. In...
