The energy crisis and the accelerated transition to climate neutrality result in a shift from the traditional energy trilemma to an “energy quartet” across Europe. Firstly, the criteria of affordability, previously focused on short-term price developments, broadens to reliable affordability including in crises. Secondly, clean energy traditionally focused on clean production now extends to clean energy ...
Grüner Wasserstoff aus erneuerbaren Energien soll künftig fossile Energieträger in bestimmten Anwendungen in der Industrie und im Verkehr ersetzen, die nicht direkt elektrifizierbar sind. Laut Nationaler Wasserstoffstrategie soll ein Teil des künftigen Wasserstoffbedarfs inländisch durch Elektrolyse mit erneuerbarem Strom erzeugt werden. In dieser Studie wird mit einem Stromsektormodell untersucht, ...
To phase out fossil fuels, energy systems must shift to renewable electricity as the main source of primary energy. In this paper, we analyze how electrification can support the integration of fluctuating renewables, like wind and PV, and mitigate the need for storage and thermal backup plants. Using a cost-minimizing model for system planning, we find substantial benefits of electricity demand in ...
