Cascading Failures and Critical Infrastructures in Future Renewable European Power Systems
Maurizio Titz, Franz Kaiser, Johannes Kruse +8
The world's power systems are undergoing a rapid transformation, shifting away from carbon-intensive power generation to renewable sources. As a result, electricity is being transp…
Mind the Temperature Gap: The Role of Pit Thermal Energy Storage in a Sector-Coupled Energy System with High-Temperature District Heating
Caspar SchauÃ, Amos Schledorn, Tom Kähler +3
Pit thermal energy storage (PTES) provides large-scale thermal storage capacity in district heating systems, supporting flexibility on both daily and seasonal scales. Most existing…
Pursuing decarbonization and competitiveness: a narrow corridor for European green industrial transformation
Alice Di Bella, Toni Seibold, Tom Brown +1
This study analyzes how Europe can decarbonize its industrial sector while remaining competitive. Using the open-source model PyPSA-Eur, it examines key energy- and emission-intens…
REMIND-PyPSA-Eur: Integrating power system flexibility into sector-coupled energy transition pathways
Adrian Odenweller, Falko Ueckerdt, Johannes Hampp +8
The rapid expansion of low-cost renewable electricity combined with end-use electrification in transport, industry, and buildings offers a promising path to deep decarbonisation. H…
