Germany's goal of transitioning to renewable energy by 2045 presents a challenge increased land-use competition. Agrivoltaics is promising solution this dilemma and benefits resilient food production farmers' income. This study, for the first time, assesses spatial potential agrivoltaics in Germany with socio-technical Geographic Information System based on land use restrictions suitability criteria. The study investigates small-scale over suitable crops enable farmers benefit from...
The German government's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045 and increasing the use renewable energy, particularly wind solar power, has public support. However, local siting farms is highly controversial due to land-use conflicts. We have developed a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) model that integrates criteria from literature identify optimal locations for ground-mounted photovoltaic (GM-PV). based on holistic approach considering energy-related factors broader...
Global warming increases the risk of heat stress in Europe.Hence, must be considered as a health hazard for individuals working outdoors and indoors conditions.Physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) is more related to perceived temperature, but most current Local Climate Zone (LCZ) studies focus on measured instead PET.Therefore, this research, PET was applied evaluate thermal component outdoor microclimate first time Berlin during (1) hot spell, (2) normal period July August 2018.The...

Abstract The German government requires states to set aside at least 2% of their land for renewable energy. Despite public support, the specific location energy installations is often debated. study presents a new approach resolving use competition in context system transformation. Ground-mounted photovoltaics (GM PV) municipality serves as case study. Its methodology goes beyond standard socio-scientific methods. innovation model-based spatial assessment GM PV scenarios with different...

The German government aims to convert its energy system renewable by 2045. This requires a comprehensive understanding of land eligibility for renewables, particularly land-intensive ground-mounted photovoltaics (GM-PV). Federal states must set aside at least 2% their energy. target value was derived using top-down demand approach. Georeferenced use data can be used make bottom-up estimates. study investigates how the choice source influences evaluation GM-PV installations in Germany....
We developed a unique spatial differentiated model based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and novel multi-criteria concept to determine the land potential for ground-mounted photovoltaics (GPV) in Germany. The comprises different techno-economic, environmental, social aspects identified as relevant by comprehensive review of national international literature socio-political debate GPV created decision support tool (DST) with two-layer restriction suitability part. Instead open-access...
