Exploring the meteorological potential for planning a high performance European electricity super-grid: optimal power capacity distribution among countries

The concept of a European super-grid for electricity presents clear advantages for a reliable and affordable renewable power production (photovoltaics and wind). Based on the mean-variance portfolio optimization analysis, we explore optimal scenarios for the allocation of new renewable capacity at n...
