Exploring near-optimal energy systems with stakeholders: a novel approach for participatory modelling
Oskar Vågerö, Koen van Greevenbroek, Aleksander Grochowicz +1
Involving people in energy systems planning can increase the legitimacy and socio-political feasibility of energy transitions. Participatory research in energy modelling offers the…
Balancing Act: The Cost of Wind Restrictions in Norway's Electricity Transition
Maximilian Roithner, Paola Velasco Herrejon, Koen van Greevenbroek +5
To meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement and reduce its dependency on energy imports, the pace, and scale of renewable energy deployment across Europe must increase dramat…
Little to lose: the case for a robust European green hydrogen strategy
Koen van Greevenbroek, Johannes Schmidt, Marianne Zeyringer +1
The EU targets 10 Mt of green hydrogen production by 2030, but has not committed to targets for 2040. Green hydrogen competes with carbon capture and storage, biomass and imports i…
Trading off regional and overall energy system design flexibility in the net-zero transition
Koen van Greevenbroek, Aleksander Grochowicz, Marianne Zeyringer +1
The transition to net-zero emissions in Europe is determined by a patchwork of country-level and EU-wide policy, creating coordination challenges in an interconnected system. We us…
Using power system modelling outputs to identify weather-induced extreme events in highly renewable systems
Aleksander Grochowicz, Koen van Greevenbroek, Hannah C. Bloomfield
In highly renewable power systems the increased weather dependence can result in new resilience challenges, such as renewable energy droughts, or a lack of sufficient renewable gen…
PyPSA meets Africa: Developing an open source electricity network model of the African continent
Desen Kirli, Johannes Hampp, Koen van Greevenboek +4
Electricity network modelling and grid simulations form a key enabling element for the integration of newer and cleaner technologies such as renewable energy generation and electri…
