The future of the European electricity system and the impact of fluctuating renewable energy
The ongoing transformation of the European energy system comes along with new challenges, notably increasing amounts of power generation from intermittent sources like wind and solar.
Living with intermittent renewable power – Challenges for Spain and the EU
Spain is living with a high penetration of intermittent renewable power from wind and solar PV. Other EU electricity markets will soon have to do the same, if they are not already doing so. This Comment summarizes a number of the challenges facing Spain as a result of this form of de-carbonization, and also considers the implications for the EU
A solution to solar power intermittency
Converting methane to an alternative fuel using energy from the sun could reduce carbon-dioxide emissions…
Assessment of the required share for a stable EU electricity supply until 2050
The main objective of this EC’s study is to quantify the overall limits of energy system – and thus supply – stability under the likely conditions of significantly increased future shares of generation from intermittent sources.
Intermittency and the Value of Renewable Energy
This NBER working paper develops an empirical approach to estimate the equilibrium value of renewable electricity technologies, and applies it to evaluate solar energy mandates in southeastern Arizona
