Driven by climate change concerns, Europe has taken significant initiatives toward the decarbonization of its energy system. The European Commission (EC) set targets for 2030 to achieve at least 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with respect 1990 baseline level and cover 32% total consumption Union (EU) through renewable sources, predominantly wind solar generation. However, these technologies are inherently characterized high variability, limited predictability controllability, lack...
The future energy system is widely expected to show increasing levels of integration across differing carriers. Electricity, hydrogen, methane and heat systems may become increasingly interdependent due coupling through conversion hybrid technologies. Market parties, network operators, policy makers regulators require tools capture implications possible techno-economic institutional developments in one for the operation others. In this article, we provide an integrated electricity, hydrogen...
Demand response (DR) is expected to play a major role in integrating large shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources power systems. For example, DR can increase or decrease consumption depending on the VRE availability, and use generating network assets more efficiently. Detailed models are usually very complex, hence, unsuitable for large-scale models, where simplicity linearity key elements keep reasonable computational performance. In contrast, aggregated too simplistic therefore...
In this paper, we present an optimisation integrated energy system model (IESA-Opt) for the Netherlands with use of a linear programming formulation. This state-of-the-art represents scientific contribution as it integrates European power-system complete sectoral representation technologies and infrastructure that account all greenhouse gas emissions considered in targets, takes into consideration detailed description cross-sectoral flexibility (e.g. flexible heat power cogeneration, demand...
Improving energy system modeling capabilities can directly affect the quality of applied studies. However, some trade-offs are necessary as computational capacity and data availability constrained. In this paper, we demonstrate resulting from modification in resolution four capabilities, namely, transitional scope, European electricity interconnection, hourly demand-side flexibility description, infrastructure representation. We measure cost increasing each capability terms time several...
The North Sea region, located in the Northwest of Europe, is expected to be a frontrunner European energy transition. This paper aims analyse different optimal system configurations order meet net-zero emission targets 2050. Overall, presents two main contributions: first, we develop and introduce IESA-NS model. model an optimization integrated written as linear problem. optimizes long-term investment planning short-term operation seven region countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany,...
To lower CO2 emissions, policy makers want to integrate as much variable renewable energy (VRE) possible into power systems. This has been translated targets for VRE a share of total electricity generation and policies that aim maximize the use available from sources. However, in this paper we demonstrate it is misconception maximizing production always lowers emissions. In fact there are many constraints system operation can lead situations when curtailing reduces both costs identify these...
The North Sea Offshore Grid concept has been envisioned as a promising alternative to: 1) ease the integration of offshore wind and onshore energy systems, 2) increase cross-border capacity between region countries at low cost.In this paper we explore techno-economic benefits using two case studies: power-based grid, where only investments in power assets are allowed (i.e.offshore wind, HVDC/HVAC interconnectors); power-and-hydrogen hydrogen also permitted electrolysers, new pipelines...
Regional level energy system analyses and corresponding integrated modeling is necessary to analyze the impact of national policies on a regional level, while considering constraints related infrastructure, supply potentials, sectoral demands, their interactions. Nevertheless, current literature analysis largely overlooks level. In response, this study provided systematic approach refining improving spatial resolution an existing framework. The methodology involved creating regions nodes...
Abstract National energy policies usually have a significant impact on the sectoral and overall CO2 emissions of an EU Member State. Once proposed trading scheme (EU ETS) becomes operational, however, performance these policies, i.e. their effectiveness efficiency in reducing emissions, will differ depending whether they affect fossil fuel use by participating or non-participating sectors this scheme. This article discusses particular national affecting ETS. A major conclusion is that once...
Abstract We quantified the volume of free allowances that different national allocation plans proposed to allocate existing and new installations, with specific reference power sector. Most countries continue based on historic emissions, contrary hopes for improved methods, allocations installations frequently 2005 emission data; this may strengthen belief in private sector emissions coming years will influence their subsequent allowance allocation. Allocations provide high...
Integrated energy system modeling tools predominantly focus on the (inter)national or local scales. The intermediate level is important from perspective of regional policy making, particularly for identifying potentials and constraints various renewable resources. Additionally, distribution variations economic social sectors, such as housing, agriculture, industries, infrastructure, foster demand differences. We used an existing optimization-based national integrated model, Options Portfolio...
