smart Energy europe the technical and economic impact of one potential 100 Renewable Energy Scenario for the european union
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016Co-Authors: David Connolly, Henrik Lund, Brian Vad MathiesenAbstract:Abstract This study presents one Scenario for a 100% Renewable Energy system in Europe by the year 2050. The transition from a business-as-usual situation in 2050, to a 100% Renewable Energy Europe is analysed in a series of steps. Each step reflects one major technological change. For each step, the impact is presented in terms of Energy (primary Energy supply), environment (carbon dioxide emissions), and economy (total annual socio-economic cost). The steps are ordered in terms of their scientific and political certainty as follows: decommissioning nuclear power, implementing a large amount of heat savings, converting the private car fleet to electricity, providing heat in rural areas with heat pumps, providing heat in urban areas with district heating, converting fuel in heavy-duty vehicles to a Renewable electrofuel, and replacing natural gas with methane. The results indicate that by using the Smart Energy System approach, a 100% Renewable Energy system in Europe is technically possible without consuming an unsustainable amount of bioEnergy. This is due to the additional flexibility that is created by connecting the electricity, heating, cooling, and transport sectors together, which enables an intermittent Renewable penetration of over 80% in the electricity sector. The cost of the Smart Energy Europe Scenario is approximately 10–15% higher than a business-as-usual Scenario, but since the final Scenario is based on local investments instead of imported fuels, it will create approximately 10 million additional direct jobs within the EU.

Smart Energy Europe: A 100% Renewable Energy Scenario for the European Union
2015Co-Authors: David Connolly, Brian Vad Mathiesen, Henrik LundAbstract:The European Union has some of the most ambitious targets to decarbonise its Energy system in the coming decades. To do so, it is likely that many countries will depend on intermittent Renewable Energy sources such as wind and solar power. There is still a lot of uncertainty in relation to the integration of these resources, since the current Energy system is not designed to handle intermittency on the supply side. The Smart Energy System concept is one approach which can accommodate very large penetrations of these intermittent resources, with some analysis demonstrating how penetration levels in excess of 80% are possible in the electricity sector. Hence, this approach is one potential solution that will enable the European Energy system to significantly reduce its carbon emissions. In this study, the Smart Energy System approach is applied to Europe, which achieves two key objectives: firstly, it demonstrates the type of technical changes required in the EU Energy system by presenting the technologies and their synergies in the Smart Energy System approach and secondly, this study quantifies the scale of each technology required to achieve a 100% Renewable Energy system in Europe. The results indicate that a 100% Renewable Energy system is technically feasible in Europe using the Smart Energy System approach, assuming technologies develop according to industry’s current expectations. Furthermore, the results show that the 100% Renewable Smart Energy System will have similar costs as a fossil fuel alternative in Europe, but even more significant, the 100% Renewable Energy system will consist of much more investments instead of fuel imports. A conservative estimate suggests that this will result in the creation of approximately 10 million additional jobs in the EU. These results important in the context of decarbonising Energy systems, since they indicate that 100% Renewable Energy can be technically achieved at an economic gain.

2050 pathway to an active Renewable Energy Scenario for Jiangsu province
Energy Policy, 2013Co-Authors: Lixuan Hong, Henrik Lund, Brian Vad Mathiesen, Bernd MöllerAbstract:In 2009, Jiangsu province of China supplied 99.6 percent of its total Energy consumption with fossil fuels, of which 82 percent was imported from other provinces and countries. With rising Energy demand, frequent Energy shortages, and increasing pollution, it is essential for Jiangsu to put more emphasis on improving its Energy efficiency and utilizing its Renewable resources in the future. This paper presents the integrated Energy pathway for Jiangsu during its social and economic transformation until 2050. EnergyPLAN is the chosen Energy system analysis tool, since it accounts for all sectors of the Energy system that needs to be considered when integrating large-scale Renewable Energy. A current policy Scenario (CPS) based on current Energy policies and an ambitious policy Scenario (APS) based on large-scale integration of Renewable Energy and ambitious measures of Energy efficiency improvement are proposed. The two Energy pathways are modeled and compared in terms of technology combination, non-fossil fuel shares of primary Energy supply, socioeconomic costs, and CO2 emissions. The insights from these pathways can provide valuable input for Jiangsu's future Energy policies.

Modeling sustainable long-term electricity supply-demand in Africa
Applied Energy, 2017Co-Authors: Nadia S. OuedraogoAbstract:This paper develops a Scenario-based model to identify and provide an array of electricity demand in Africa, and to derive them from the African power system of development. A system-based approach is performed by applying the Scenario methodology developed by Schwartz in the context of the Energy-economic modeling platform ‘Long-range Energy Alternative Planning’. Four Scenarios are investigated. The Business as Usual Scenario (BAU) replicates the regional and national Master Plans. The Renewable-promotion Scenario increases the share of Renewable Energy in the electricity mix. The demand and supply side efficiency Scenarios investigate the impact of Energy efficiency measures on the power system. The results show an increase in electricity demand by 4% by 2040, supply shortages and high emissions of Greenhouse Gases. Contrary to expectations, the Renewable Energy Scenario did not emerge as the best solution to a sustainable electrification of the region. The Energy efficiency Scenarios have allowed us to draw a sustainable pathway for electrification.

optimal use of power to gas Energy storage systems in an 85 Renewable Energy Scenario
Energy Procedia, 2014Co-Authors: Mareike Jentsch, Tobias Trost, Michael SternerAbstract:Abstract In future Energy systems with high shares of fluctuating Renewable Energy generation, electricity storage will become increasingly important for the utilization of surplus Energy. The Power-to-Gas (PtG) technology is one promising option for solving the challenge of long-term electricity storage and is theoretically able to ease situations of grid congestion at the same time. This article presents the perspectives of PtG in an 85% Renewable Energy Scenario for Germany, quantifying an economic optimum for the PtG capacity as well as an optimized spatial PtG deployment.
