Cost optimal scenarios of a future highly renewable European electricity system: Exploring the influence of weather data, cost parameters and policy constraints (2018, unknown): “This benefit of transmission has been confirmed in studies using more detailed models, which also take into account limitations and costs of the transmission infrastructure (see for instance [9] for a systematic study with regard to the renewable penetration levels and mixes, [10] for additional det”
Integration of Renewable Energy Sources in future power systems: The role of storage (2014, background): “Furthermore, grid expansion was found to be also favourable from an economic perspective over only installing more variable renewable energy capacities [10, 11].”
Using the sun to decarbonize the power sector: The economic potential of photovoltaics and concentrating solar power ☆ (2014, background): “A cost-efficient approach to transporting electricity from regions with high quality VRE resources to other regions on a national to continental scale (500-4000km) would be an overlay grid [67], ideally using high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology to minimize losses [71].”
Transmission needs across a fully renewable European power system (2013, background): “Additionally, we wish to minimize the need for storage [7, 8] and transmission capacities [9, 10].”
Transmission grid extensions during the build-up of a fully renewable pan-European electricity supply (2013, background): “Based on the mismatch between weatherdetermined generation data and historical load, optimal mixes of wind and solar energy with respect to different objectives have been derived [3, 4, 5].”
Determination of Hydrogen–Water Relative Permeability and Capillary Pressure in Sandstone: Application to Underground Hydrogen Injection in Sedimentary Formations (2018, unknown): “However, both of them have characteristics (geographical dispersion, annual fluctuation) that make challenging their integration in the power sector (e.g., Schaber et al. 2012; Després et al. 2016).”
The benefits of cooperation in a highly renewable European electricity network (2017, background): “Other studies only optimise the transmission expansion while fixing the generation fleet [5, 6, 9, 16]; this has the disadvantage that the optimisation cannot weigh up whether it is better to build renewables far from load centres and transport the energy, or build renewables closer to demand.”
