PyPSA-Earth. A New Global Open Energy System Optimization Model Demonstrated in Africa

Maximilian Parzen, Hazem Abdel-Khalek, Ekaterina Fedorova +9

Macro-energy system modelling is used by decision-makers to steer the global energy transition toward an affordable, sustainable and reliable future. Closed-source models are the c…

Inverse methods: How feasible are spatially low-resolved capacity expansion modelling results when disaggregated at high spatial resolution?

Martha Maria Frysztacki, Veit Hagenmeyer, Tom Brown

Spatially highly-resolved capacity expansion models are often simplified to a lower spatial resolution because they are computationally intensive. The simplification mixes sites wi…

Long-Term Benefits of Network Boosters for Renewables Integration and Corrective Grid Security

Amin Shokri Gazafroudi, Elisabeth Zeyen, Martha Frysztacki +2

The preventative strategies for network security dominant in European networks mean that network capacity is kept free in case a line fails. If instead fast corrective action…

The strong effect of network resolution on electricity system models with high shares of wind and solar

Martha Maria Frysztacki, Jonas Hörsch, Veit Hagenmeyer +1

Energy system modellers typically choose a low spatial resolution for their models based on administrative boundaries such as countries, which eases data collection and reduces com…

Modeling Curtailment in Germany: How Spatial Resolution Impacts Line Congestion

Martha Frysztacki, Tom Brown

This paper investigates the effects of network constraints in energy system models at transmission level on renewable energy generation and curtailment as the network is being spat…
