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…
A moderate share of V2G outperforms large-scale smart charging of electric vehicles and benefits other consumers
Adeline Guéret, Carlos Gaete-Morales, Wolf-Peter Schill
While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) play a key role for decarbonizing the transport sector, their impact on the power sector heavily depends on their charging strategies. Here w…
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…
A mix of long-duration hydrogen and thermal storage enables large-scale electrified heating in a renewable European energy system
Felix Schmidt, Alexander Roth, Wolf-Peter Schill
Hydrogen-based long-duration electricity storage (LDES) is a key component of renewable energy systems to deal with seasonality and prolonged periods of low wind and solar energy a…
Effects of system-blind prosumers in energy models
Adeline Guéret, Wolf-Peter Schill, Felix Schmidt
Prosumer households that generate and store electricity from rooftop PV installations play an increasing role in electricity markets around the world. As retail tariffs usually do…
