Evaluation of a Sign Language Avatar on Comprehensibility, User Experience \& Acceptability
Fenya Wasserroth, Eleftherios Avramidis, Vera Czehmann +3
This paper presents an investigation into the impact of adding adjustment features to an existing sign language (SL) avatar on a Microsoft Hololens 2 device. Through a detailed ana…
An advanced reliability reserve incentivizes flexibility investments while safeguarding the electricity market
Franziska Klaucke, Karsten Neuhoff, Alexander Roth +2
To ensure security of supply in the power sector, many countries are already using or discussing the introduction of capacity mechanisms. Two main types of such mechanisms include…
Long-duration electricity storage needs for coping with Dunkelflaute events in Europe
Martin Kittel, Alexander Roth, Wolf-Peter Schill
Coping with prolonged periods of low availability of wind and solar power, also referred to as variable renewable energy droughts or "Dunkelflaute", emerges as a key challenge for…
Age and Cognitive Skills: Use It or Lose It
Eric A. Hanushek, Lavinia Kinne, Frauke Witthoeft +1
Cross-sectional age-skill profiles suggest that workers' cognitive skills start declining by their thirties if not earlier. If accurate, such age-driven skill losses pose a major t…
Multi-threshold time series analysis enables characterization of variable renewable energy droughts in Europe
Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill
Variable renewable energy droughts, so called Dunkelflaute events, emerge as a challenge for climate-neutral energy systems based on variable renewables. Here we characterize Europ…
Impacts of electric carsharing on a power sector with variable renewables
Adeline Guéret, Wolf-Peter Schill, Carlos Gaete-Morales
Electrifying the car fleet is a major strategy for mitigating emissions in the transport sector. As electrification cannot solve all negative externalities associated with cars, re…
Measuring the Dunkelflaute: How (not) to analyze variable renewable energy shortage
Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill
As variable renewable energy sources increasingly gain importance in global energy systems, there is a growing interest in understanding periods of variable renewable energy shorta…
Power sector benefits of flexible heat pumps
Alexander Roth, Carlos Gaete-Morales, Dana Kirchem +1
Heat pumps play a major role in decreasing fossil fuel use in heating. They increase electricity demand, but could also foster the system integration of variable renewable energy s…
Are high school degrees and university diplomas equally heritable in the US? A new measure of relative intergenerational mobility
Anna Naszodi, Liliana Cuccu
This paper proposes a new measure of relative intergenerational mobility along the educational trait as a proxy of inequality of opportunity. The new measure is more suitable for c…
Power sector effects of alternative options for de-fossilizing heavy-duty vehicles -- go electric, and charge smartly
Carlos Gaete-Morales, Julius Jöhrens, Florian Heining +1
Various options are discussed to de-fossilize heavy-duty vehicles (HDV), including battery-electric vehicles (BEV), electric road systems (ERS), and indirect electrification via hy…
How flexible electrification can integrate fluctuating renewables
Leonard Göke, Jens Weibezahn, Mario Kendziorski
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 in…
Geographical balancing of wind power decreases storage needs in a 100% renewable European power sector
Alexander Roth, Wolf-Peter Schill
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, many countries plan to massively expand wind power and solar photovoltaic capacities. These variable renewable energy sources require additional…
Bidirectional coupling of a long-term integrated assessment model REMIND v3.0.0 with an hourly power sector model DIETER v1.0.2
Chen Chris Gong, Falko Ueckerdt, Robert Pietzcker +4
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are a central tool for the quantitative analysis of climate change mitigation strategies. However, due to their global, cross-sectoral and cente…
Power sector effects of green hydrogen production in Germany
Dana Kirchem, Wolf-Peter Schill
The use of green hydrogen can support the decarbonization of sectors which are difficult to electrify, such as industry or heavy transport. Yet, the wider power sector effects of p…
Stabilized Benders decomposition for energy planning under climate uncertainty
Leonard Göke, Felix Schmidt, Mario Kendziorski
This paper applies Benders decomposition to two-stage stochastic problems for energy planning under climate uncertainty, a key problem for the design of renewable energy systems. T…
Centralized and decentral approaches to succeed the 100% energiewende in Germany in the European context: A model-based analysis of generation, network, and storage investments
Mario Kendziorski, Leonard Göke, Christian von Hirschhausen +2
In this paper, we explore centralized and more decentral approaches to succeed the energiewende in Germany, in the European context. We use the AnyMOD framework to model a future r…
Overcoming the disconnect between energy system and climate modeling
Michael T. Craig, Jan Wohland, Laurens P. Stoop +20
Energy system models underpin decisions by energy system planners and operators. Energy system modelling faces a transformation: accounting for changing meteorological conditions i…
Facebook Shadow Profiles
Luis Aguiar, Christian Peukert, Maximilian Schäfer +1
We quantify Facebook's ability to build shadow profiles by tracking individuals across the web, irrespective of whether they are users of the social network. For a representative s…
Reducing energy system model distortions from unintended storage cycling through variable costs
Maximilian Parzen, Martin Kittel, Daniel Friedrich +1
Energy model distortions may unknowingly appear and represent unrealistic and non-physical effects that can mislead optimal model decisions. A prominent misleading effect is uninte…
A collective blueprint, not a crystal ball: How expectations and participation shape long-term energy scenarios
Leonard Göke, Jens Weibezahn, Christian von Hirschhausen
The development of energy systems is not a technocratic process but equally shaped by societal and cultural forces. Key instruments in this process are model-based scenarios descri…
Comparison of power sector models by analyzing the impact of modeling features on optimal capacity expansion
Jonas van Ouwerkerk, Hans Christian Gils, Hedda Gardian +7
The transition towards decarbonized energy systems requires the expansion of renewable and flexibility technologies in power sectors. In a model comparison, we examine the optimal…
Accounting for spatiality of renewables and storage in transmission planning
Leonard Göke, Mario Kendziorski, Claudia Kemfert +1
The current governance process to plan the German energy system omits two options to substitute grid expansion: First, placing renewables closer to demand instead of where site con…
Renewable Energy Targets and Unintended Storage Cycling: Implications for Energy Modeling
Martin Kittel, Wolf-Peter Schill
To decarbonize the economy, many governments have set targets for the use of renewable energy sources. These are often formulated as relative shares of electricity demand or supply…
