Early decarbonisation of the European energy system pays off

Marta Victoria, Kun Zhu, Tom Brown +2

For a given carbon budget over several decades, different transformation rates for the energy system yield starkly different results. Here we consider a budget of 33 GtCO2 for the…

The role of photovoltaics in a sustainable European energy system under variable CO2 emissions targets, transmission capacities, and costs assumptions

Marta Victoria, Kun Zhu, Tom Brown +2

PyPSA-Eur-Sec-30 is an open-source, hourly-resolved, networked model of the European energy system which includes one node per country as well as electricity, heating, and transpor…

Impact of climatic, technical and economic uncertainties on the optimal design of a coupled fossil-free electricity, heating and cooling system in Europe

K. Zhu, M. Victoria, G. B. Andresen +1

To limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius, fossil-free energy systems will be required eventually. To understand how such systems can be designed, the current…

The role of storage technologies throughout the decarbonisation of the sector-coupled European energy system

Marta Victoria, Kun Zhu, Tom Brown +2

We use an open, hourly-resolved, networked model of the European energy system to investigate the storage requirements under decreasing CO emissions targets and several sector-…

Impact of CO2 prices on the design of a highly decarbonised coupled electricity and heating system in Europe

K. Zhu, M. Victoria, T. Brown +2

Ambitious targets for renewable energy and CO2 taxation both represent political instruments for decarbonisation of the energy system. We model a high number of coupled electricity…

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…
