Electricity-based fuels from renewable energies are regarded as a key instrument for climate protection. These Power-to-X (PtX) products to replace fossil in sectors where direct use of electricity is not possible. We investigate the production potential electricity-based onshore wind energy and ground-mounted photovoltaic all countries outside European Economic Area along 14 PtX pathways. include hydrogen (gaseous liquid), methane methanol, Fischer-Tropsch ammonia each with two different...
The increasing amount of power generation from weather-dependent renewable sources in Germany is projected to lead a considerable number hours which exceeds demand. One possibility take advantage this surplus through the Power-to-Heat technology. As combined heat and (CHP)-plants can be upgraded relatively easily with facility, huge potential developed German district heating grids are mainly served by CHP-plants. In paper technology evaluated for years 2015 2030 under different assumptions.
The European electricity industry, the dominant sector of world's largest cap-and-trade scheme, is one most-studied examples carbon pricing. In particular, numerical models are often used to study uncertain future development prices and emissions. While parameter uncertainty addressed through sensitivity analyses, potential themselves remains unclear from existing single-model studies. This investigates such model-related by running a structured model comparison experiment, which exposes...
The development of European power markets is highly influenced by integrated electricity and heat systems. Therefore, decarbonization policies for the sectors, as well numerical models that are used to guide such policies, should consider cross-sectoral interdependencies need evaluation. Many model-based policy assessments evaluate potential benefits combined power. However, extent benefits, emissions reductions, found in existing studies subject considerable variations. While scenarios...
The EU aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 % until 2050. While in the power and heat sector declined last years this is not case for transport sector. Especially electric vehicles that are charged with from renewable energy sources offer considerable potential emissions. Their additional demand itself has enormous effects on system if their number increases considerably. model SCOPE covers power, heat, long term decarbonisation scenarios optimizes investment decision of...
The energy turnaround in Europe's and especially Germany's system raises various questions concerning the European market as well electrical power grids Germany all over Europe. An enabler to cope with these is possibility simulate respective structure of mechanisms transmission. Because complexity both systems models can get quite complex. main goal project "SystemKontext" at Fraunhofer IWES elaborate which level detail different parts have be modelled obtain valid precise results a focus...
The European power grid infrastructure faces various challenges due to the expansion of renewable energy sources (RES). To conduct investigations on interactions between generation and grid, models for market as well are necessary. This paper describes basic functionalities working principles both types steps couple results model. combination these is beneficial in terms gaining realistic flow scenarios model being able pass back restrictions Focus laid possible application examples like...
The goal of this paper is twofold. At first, we provide a modeling framework to derive consistent view on spot and balancing reserve markets. Secondly, use approach determine the impact increasing system flexibility via scenario analysis for day-ahead electricity capacity reservation reserves, focusing particularly German year 2030. While fundamental market prices in mid-term or long-term has been well established, it quite ambitious future To achieve goal, two-step equilibrium both...

These Power-to-X (PtX) products to replace fossil in sectors where direct use of electricity is not possible. We investigate the production potential PtX onshore wind energy and ground-mounted photovoltaic all countries outside European Economic Area along 14 pathways. include hydrogen, several hydrocarbons ammonia. The technical economic assessment based on data with hourly temporal high...
Climate and energy policy targets of the European Commission aim to make Europe first climate-neutral continent by 2050. For low-carbon net-neutral systems primarily based on variable renewable power generation, issues related market integration, cannibalisation revenues, cost recovery wind solar photovoltaics have become major concerns. The traditional discussion merit-order effect expects wholesale prices in a system with 100 % sources alternate between very high low values. Unlike...
With the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, international community has reaffirmed its commitment to tackle anthropogenic climate change with goal of limiting global average temperature increase below 1.5 °C, but a maximum 2 °C above pre-industrial levels.Against this background, we examine scenarios for complete decarbonisation European energy supply.Since such are based on high expansion weather-dependent renewable sources, question arises, which flexible technologies necessary balance supply...
