Human-in-the-loop MGA to generate energy system design options matching stakeholder needs
Francesco Lombardi, Stefan Pfenninger
The common use of cost minimisation to support energy system design decisions hides from view many economically comparable design options that stakeholders may prefer. Modelling to…
Challenges and Opportunities for Bioenergy in Europe: National Deployment, Policy Support, and Possible Future Roles
Fei Wu, Stefan Pfenninger
Bioenergy is currently a major renewable energy source in Europe but faces an unclear future because of conflicting modelling results and the lack of long-term policy. This paper i…
Harder, better, faster, stronger: understanding and improving the tractability of large energy system models
Manuel Bröchin, Bryn Pickering, Tim Tröndle +1
Energy system models based on linear programming have been growing in size with the increasing need to model renewables with high spatial and temporal detail. Larger models lead to…
What is redundant and what is not? Computational trade-offs in modelling to generate alternatives for energy infrastructure deployment
Francesco Lombardi, Bryn Pickering, Stefan Pfenninger
Given the urgent need to devise credible, deep strategies for carbon neutrality, approaches for `modelling to generate alternatives' (MGA) are gaining popularity in the energy sect…
Reviewing methods and assumptions for high-resolution large-scale onshore wind energy potential assessments
Russell McKenna, Stefan Pfenninger, Heidi Heinrichs +16
The rapid uptake of renewable energy technologies in recent decades has increased the demand of energy researchers, policymakers and energy planners for reliable data on the spatia…
Enhanced spatio-temporal electric load forecasts using less data with active deep learning
Arsam Aryandoust, Anthony Patt, Stefan Pfenninger
An effective way to oppose global warming and mitigate climate change is to electrify our energy sectors and supply their electric power from renewable wind and solar. Spatio-tempo…
Capacity Value of Solar Power and Other Variable Generation
S. Awara, M. Lynch, S. Pfenninger +9
This paper reviews methods that are used for adequacy risk assessment considering solar power and for assessment of the capacity value of solar power. The properties of solar power…
Opening the black box of energy modelling: Strategies and lessons learned
Stefan Pfenninger, Lion Hirth, Ingmar Schlecht +21
The global energy system is undergoing a major transition, and in energy planning and decision-making across governments, industry and academia, models play a crucial role. Because…
Towards metric-like higher-spin gauge theories in three dimensions
Andrea Campoleoni, Stefan Fredenhagen, Stefan Pfenninger +1
We consider the coupling of a symmetric spin-3 gauge field to three-dimensional gravity in a second order metric-like formulation. The action that corresponds to an SL(3,R) x SL(3,…
Asymptotic W-symmetries in three-dimensional higher-spin gauge theories
Andrea Campoleoni, Stefan Fredenhagen, Stefan Pfenninger
We discuss how to systematically compute the asymptotic symmetry algebras of generic three-dimensional bosonic higher-spin gauge theories in backgrounds that are asymptotically AdS…
Asymptotic symmetries of three-dimensional gravity coupled to higher-spin fields
Andrea Campoleoni, Stefan Fredenhagen, Stefan Pfenninger +1
We discuss the emergence of W-algebras as asymptotic symmetries of higher-spin gauge theories coupled to three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. W…
