Farm operations in the USA and Europe have seen a radical change last decades: small sized farms are disappearing, farm size total livestock on larger increasing. The resulting spatial density of animals causes several environmental impacts. Anaerobic digestion is one promising technical solution to alleviate most these impacts while simultaneously providing regional energy source. This analysis assesses economic viability using dairy-cow manure for either (i) on-farm production use biogas...
Biogas plants enable power to be generated in a flexible way so that variable, renewable energy sources can integrated into the system. In Germany, Renewable Energy Sources Act promotes generation biogas plants. Two existing operation were analyzed with respect economic viability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assess feasibility of operation. To do this, technology simulation model was developed reproduce technical design both link this twelve flexibilization scenarios. The evaluation is...
With wind power and photovoltaics, volatile renewables have emerged as central pillars of the energy transition. This increases demand for flexibility options to compensate fluctuations in generation. Focussing on role bioenergy a renewable option, this article seeks address two questions. The first is whether there an option value provider low-carbon future system, which might justify continued technology-specific deployment support. second question existing market policy incentives are...
Flexible power provision from biogas can significantly contribute to energy systems with high shares of renewables. However, the characteristics and demands for this flexibility are not clearly defined or measured. In paper eight indicators shape "flexibility" perform a downstream investigation research projects focusing on flexible plants. The structured in three dimensions (1) velocity (ramps) by which system be modulated, (2) range (bandwidth) (3) duration specific load conditions. Based...
Abstract Greenhous gas mitigation requires urgent action, especially in transforming the energy system. Bioenergy is expected to counterbalance variable power from wind and solar energy, but also for de‐fossilization of heat transport sectors. This study assesses wide range options evaluates most cost‐efficient allocation biomass 95 % greenhouse emission reduction German system till 2050. The final state 2050 shows bioenergy different sectors, including pellet woodchip boilers, bio‐based...
The increasing proportion of intermittent renewable energies asks for further technologies balancing demand and supply in the energy system. In contrast to other countries, Germany is characterized by a high installed capacity dispatchable biogas plants. For this paper, we analyzed total system costs varying extension paths modes operation period 2016–2035 using non-linear optimization model. We took variable existing conventional power plants, as well capital investments gas turbines,...
The proportion of (intermittent) renewable energy in the German electricity system is set to continuously increase over next decades. This brings along with it challenge balancing demand and supply. For this paper, we analyzed cost efficiency reducing surplus generation reduce greenhouse gas emissions for period 2016–2035 through (flexible) biogas plants, taking into consideration different extension paths modes operation. We assessed flexible power plants using a quotient remuneration...
