Energy and GHG saving potentials of sufficiency measures -- a synthesis for Germany

Carina Zell-Ziegler, Célia Burghardt, Kaya Dünzen +5

The sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasises the potential of demand-side measures, such as sufficiency, for mitigating climate ch…

Identifying demand-side measures that matter most for Europe's decarbonisation

Parisa Rahdan, Mirko Schäfer, Ana Belén Cristóbal López +1

European countries pursue a miscellany of historic, emerging, and planned initiatives to transform energy demand through behavioural shifts and end-use efficiency improvements. Yet…

Principal Flow Patterns across renewable electricity networks

Fabian Hofmann, Mirko Schäfer, Tom Brown +3

Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the nodal injection and line flow patterns in a network model of a future highly renewable European electricity system are investigated. I…

Cost optimal scenarios of a future highly renewable European electricity system: Exploring the influence of weather data, cost parameters and policy constraints

David P. Schlachtberger, Tom Brown, Mirko Schäfer +2

Cost optimal scenarios derived from models of a highly renewable electricity system depend on the specific input data, cost assumptions and system constraints. Here this influence…

Flow-based nodal cost allocation in a heterogeneous highly renewable European electricity network

Bo Tranberg, Leon J. Schwenk-Nebbe, Mirko Schäfer +2

For a cost efficient design of a future renewable European electricity system, the placement of renewable generation capacity will seek to exploit locations with good resource qual…

Scaling of transmission capacities in coarse-grained renewable electricity networks

Mirko Schäfer, Simon Bugge Siggaard, Kun Zhu +2

Network models of large-scale electricity systems feature only a limited spatial resolution, either due to lack of data or in order to reduce the complexity of the problem with res…

Flow tracing as a tool set for the analysis of networked large-scale renewable electricity systems

Jonas Hörsch, Mirko Schäfer, Sarah Becker +2

The method of flow tracing follows the power flow from net-generating sources through the network to the net-consuming sinks, which allows to assign the usage of the underlying tra…
