Electricity scenarios for Hungary: Possible role of wind and solar resources in the energy transition

Investigating the role of nuclear power and battery storage in Hungary's energy transition using hourly resolution electricity market simulations

“…Their results show that the portfolio chosen by the authors would have a higher fuel diversification, a higher share of renewables, lower emissions, but much higher costs. Campos et al [ 21 ] built 2033 models of the Hungarian electricity system using EnergyPLAN software and examined the compatibility of wind and solar with projections of future electricity demand in Hungary, and estimated the excess generation. In their study, they found that 46 % of electricity consumption could be produced by wind and solar PV technology, with less than 5 % of annual overproduction.…”

“…In their study, they found that 46 % of electricity consumption could be produced by wind and solar PV technology, with less than 5 % of annual overproduction. It should be noted that the models presented in the [ 19 , 21 ] studies are not able to model the detailed technological parameters of cross-border capacities and neighboring countries, power plants, and the hourly inputs of renewable energy sources are only based on a few years of data, so it can be stated that the model presented in this study has a much higher resolution and gives a much more detailed picture of the possible future of Hungary's electricity system compared to these models.…”

Impact of Climate Change on the Performance of Household-Scale Photovoltaic Systems

“…In the literature review, studies specifically examining the impact of climate change on photovoltaic electrical energy production in this geographic region are sparse or only tangentially addressed. Most available studies analyze technological scenarios that combine other renewable energies (such as wind power), like those by Campos et al [4], or examine future targets and guidelines, as in Atsu et al [5]. Some research investigates this theme from the perspective of future sustainability in energy diversification, especially regarding its economic and environmental aspects [6].…”
