| description | A European power system mainly based on renewable sources will have dominant
contributions from wind and solar power. However, wind and solar generation
facilities have, due to the weather dependent nature of their resources,
highly fluctuating feed-in profiles. To overcome the mismatch between power
consumption and generation it is important to study and understand the
generation patterns and balancing potentials. High temporally and spatially
resolved long term weather data was used to simulate the feed-in from wind
and photovoltaics for European countries for the years 2003 to 2012. We
investigate storage energy and capacity needs in Europe in dependency of the
generation mix from wind onshore, wind offshore and photovoltaics and the
share of renewables. Furthermore we compute the storage energy and capacity
needs for different transmission scenarios. We show that for unlimited
transmission storage needs are reduced mostly by high wind offshore shares.
We also show that higher shares above 100% of renewables can decrease the
required storage capacity to a higher extent than the required storage energy. |
