Sustainable electricity systems need renewable and dispatchable energy sources. Solar is an abundant source of globally which is, though, by nature only available during the day, especially in clear weather conditions. We compare three technology configurations able to provide solar power at times without sunshine: Photovoltaics (PV) combined with battery (BESS) or thermal storage (TES) concentrating (CSP) TES. Modeling different periods sunshine, we find that PV+BESS competitive for shorter...
The increase in the share of wind and solar energy has led to higher variance electricity production. We summarize why this does not necessarily result a spot prices but—depending on shape supply curve renewable production—can lead lower price variance. Extending approach Wozabal et al. (2016), panel model single country regression results for seven out nine analyzed European countries confirm U-shaped relationship between production While minimum most is found be 10% 40% share, shares....
Abstract Decarbonising the energy system requires high shares of variable renewable generation and sector coupling like power to heat. In addition heat supply, pumps can be used in future systems provide flexibility electricity by using thermal storage potential building stock buffer tanks shift demand hours production. Bridging gap between two methodological approaches, we coupled a detailed technology operation model open-source Balmorel evaluate that decentral system. Austria year 2030...
The modelling of electricity production and demand requires highly specific comprehensive meteorological data. One challenge is the high temporal frequency as typically done with hourly On other side European market connected, so that a pure country-based not expedient at least whole Union (EU) area has to be considered. Additionally, spatial resolution data set must able represent thermal conditions, which in mountainous regions. All these requirements lead huge amounts for historic...
In June 2018, an ambitious target has been set in Austria for the domestic expansion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES) by Austrian Climate and Energy Strategy: The goal is to cover total national consumption, measured yearly balance, with RES. With this goal, country's power system facing a significant transformation. Not only necessary rate RES, but also safeguarding stability, preserving security supply are major challenges that need be tackled coming years. A...
Residential buildings with heat pumps show promising possibilities for demand-side management. The operation optimization of such heating systems can lead to cost reduction and, at the same time, change electricity consumption patterns, which is especially prevalent in case a variable price signal. In this work, we deal following question: How does volatility retail energy smart management system?
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) offers flexible and decarbonized power generation is one of the few dispatchable renewable technologies able to generate electricity on demand. Today (2018) CSP contributes only 5TWh European generation, but it has potential become key pillars for decarbonization pathways. In this paper we investigate how factors pivotal policy decisions leading different futures associated deployment in Europe years up 2050. a second step characterize scenarios with their...

MotivationWith increasing decarbonisation and electrification of the energy system, electricity system's vulnerability to extreme weather events is becoming a focus system planning operation. This requires intensified collaboration between domains climatology modelling for an accurate portrayal effects climate change on future systems. In this study, we construct consistent data set Europe's generation demand components (covering NUTS3-NUTS0 level) using current models, including hydropower...
