Solar prosumage under different pricing regimes: Interactions with the transmission grid

no code implementations28 Feb 2025 Dana Kirchem, Mario Kendziorski, Enno Wiebrow, Wolf-Peter Schill, Claudia Kemfert, Christian von Hirschhausen

We explore the influence of different pricing regimes on prosumer investment and dispatch decisions and their subsequent impact on the transmission grid.

Coping with the Dunkelflaute: Power system implications of variable renewable energy droughts in Europe

no code implementations26 Nov 2024 Martin Kittel, Alexander Roth, Wolf-Peter Schill

As it affects many countries simultaneously, a storage capacity of 159 TWh or 3% of yearly electricity demand remains required even in the extreme case of unconstrained geographical balancing.

Quantifying the Dunkelflaute: An analysis of variable renewable energy droughts in Europe

no code implementations30 Sep 2024 Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill

As extreme droughts may span across the turn of years, single calendar year planning horizons are not suitable for modeling weather-resilient future energy scenarios.

Impacts of electric carsharing on a power sector with variable renewables

1 code implementation29 Feb 2024 Adeline Guéret, Wolf-Peter Schill, Carlos Gaete-Morales

Electrifying the car fleet is a major strategy for mitigating emissions in the transport sector.

Measuring the Dunkelflaute: How (not) to analyze variable renewable energy shortage

no code implementations9 Feb 2024 Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill

Defining, quantifying, and comparing such shortage events across different renewable generation technologies and locations presents a surprisingly intricate challenge.

Power sector benefits of flexible heat pumps

no code implementations24 Jul 2023 Alexander Roth, Carlos Gaete-Morales, Dana Kirchem, Wolf-Peter Schill

Heat pumps play a major role in decreasing fossil fuel use in heating.

Power sector effects of alternative options for de-fossilizing heavy-duty vehicles -- go electric, and charge smartly

no code implementations29 Mar 2023 Carlos Gaete-Morales, Julius Jöhrens, Florian Heining, Wolf-Peter Schill

Various options are discussed to de-fossilize heavy-duty vehicles (HDV), including battery-electric vehicles (BEV), electric road systems (ERS), and indirect electrification via hydrogen fuel cells or e-fuels.

Geographical balancing of wind power decreases storage needs in a 100% renewable European power sector

no code implementations29 Nov 2022 Alexander Roth, Wolf-Peter Schill

In a 100% renewable energy scenario of twelve central European countries, we investigate how geographical balancing between countries reduces the need for electricity storage.

Bidirectional coupling of a long-term integrated assessment model REMIND v3.0.0 with an hourly power sector model DIETER v1.0.2

no code implementations6 Sep 2022 Chen Chris Gong, Falko Ueckerdt, Robert Pietzcker, Adrian Odenweller, Wolf-Peter Schill, Martin Kittel, Gunnar Luderer

For the simple configuration, we mathematically show that this coupling scheme corresponds uniquely to an iterative mapping of the Lagrangians of two power sector optimization problems of different time resolutions, which can lead to a comprehensive model convergence of both decision variables and (shadow) prices.

Comparison of power sector models by analyzing the impact of modeling features on optimal capacity expansion

no code implementations14 Sep 2021 Jonas van Ouwerkerk, Hans Christian Gils, Hedda Gardian, Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill, Alexander Zerrahn, Alexander Murmann, Jann Launer, Laura Torralba-Díaz, Christian Bußar

We further find deviations in model results of optimal storage and transmission capacity expansion between regions and link them to variable renewable energy generation and demand characteristics.

Renewable Energy Targets and Unintended Storage Cycling: Implications for Energy Modeling

no code implementations28 Jul 2021 Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill

In this paper, we provide an analytical representation of different approaches for implementing minimum renewable share constraints in models, and show how these may lead to unintended storage cycling.
