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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
DIETERpy: a Python framework for The Dispatch and Investment Evaluation Tool with Endogenous Renewables
Carlos Gaete-Morales, Martin Kittel, Alexander Roth +1
DIETER is an open-source power sector model designed to analyze future settings with very high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It minimizes overall system costs, inclu…
