Recent European Green Deal includes decision to become carbon neutral and even negative region in order tackle the climate crisis. Main technical challenge a key factor techno-economic analysis of energy system future, based on variable renewable sources, is their production its integration. In deal with this problem long-term planning, different approaches have been tried, focusing overcapacity, storage capacities sectors coupling heating transport. research, flexibility options, demand...
In this research, we present a new long-term energy planning model that considers endogenous capacity investment, dispatch, Power-to-X, and demand response technologies. A thorough literature review of existing models is also presented, allowing to the distinctive characteristics proposed model. The an system with objective minimizing total investment cost, throughout all technologies, operational cost faced by in satisfying demand. links among different sectors, including between...
The European Union and other signatories to the Paris Climate Accord have agreed limit global warming 2° Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Previously published studies examined optimal energy system structure required satisfy carbon neutrality end goals. This research focuses on addressing intermediate steps towards decarbonization. are quantified as percentage share of renewable sources. objective optimization is reach a predetermined level emissions, minimize curtailment sources, cost,...
Hourly resolution is essential to realistically address the matching of supply and demand for fluctuating energy sources like solar wind. This work introduces a novel method model variability in an Integrated Assessment Model building upon previous work, where regression analysis was utilized extract hourly-level information from system model. The enhancements include: (1) improved experimental design more efficient computing, (2) modelling management integrated assessment by (i)...
Anthropogenically caused climate change is amongst the main problems that society faces today. To limit increase in average global surface temperature, several countries have developed targets (e.g., goals of Paris agreement) seek to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions levels, particularly from energy and transport sectors. The installation large renewable generating capacities creates new challenges. Particularly, high variability uncertainties system regulators operators guarantee...
The signing of the Paris Agreement represents a consensus on limiting increase average global temperature compared to preindustrial period. European Union has set an ambitious goal achieving climate neutrality by 2050. By 2030, Commission's REPowerEU plan aims accelerate processes increasing share renewable energy sources, improving efficiency, reducing use, and, at same time, diversifying sources and electricity connectivity between member states. In order achieve stated goals, future...
The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, therefore governments EU member states have introduced a variety measures encourage people transition battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with incentives being most common. Over 2020–2022 period, individual in Croatia for purchase new BEV were second highest Europe, but decrease amount expected, as it has already happened Slovenia. This study contains results and analysis surveys conducted among 278 owners...
In future fully decarbonized societies the issue of electricity balancing, and stabilization power grid becomes an essential challenge to address. This research illustrates how deal with matter using a Denmark 2045 scenario as case. The discussion is divided into two important aspects. one balancing demand supply, other stabilization, i.e., secure voltage frequency control on grid. energy system, due electrification industry well heating, cooling transport sectors, consumption will...

This research presents a novel method for the statistical evaluation of synthetic driving cycles small-to-medium vehicles, based on real recorded with GPS tracker resolution five seconds. The data is processed so it can be used as input energy planning, namely estimation battery electric vehicles' demand and charging strategies in dump, smart V2G regimes. Initial analysis shows that hourly distribution among various vehicles best represented gamma distribution. However, due to lower amount...
