How to meet EU GHG emission reduction targets? A model based decarbonization pathway for Europe's electricity supply system until 2050 (2017, methodology): “are comparable to our findings for the period between the decision years 2035 and 2040 with respect to reduction targets and RES shares [27].”
Putting an energy system transformation into practice: The case of the German Energiewende (2016, background): “It can be shown that a European-wide expansion of renewables with large capacities of long-distance transmission leads to a more cost-efficient energy system [85,87].”
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].”
Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-electricity systems (2017, background): “[81] suggested that a cost-optimized transmission network to meet a target of 80% renewables in Europe by 2050 would demand an additional 228,000 km of transmission grid extensions, a +76% addition compared to the base network.”
An international review of the implications of regulatory and electricity market structures on the emergence of grid scale electricity storage (2014, unknown): “forward for the European Union (EU) to achieve its targets for RES-E and GHG reductions [19].”
