“…The model has been applied to Estonia, Lithuania and China [15][16][17], but not the UK. The energy system of Denmark is of a different composition to the UK, apart from the significantly lower electrical demands, 60% of heating is supplied via district heating and 80.5% of this heat is produced by Combined Heat and Power (CHP).…”

Citation: QUIGGIN, D. and BUSWELL, R.A., 2016 AbstractPublished UK 2050 energy scenarios specify a range of decarbonised supply side technologies combined with electrification of transportation and heating. These scenarios are designed to meet CO 2 reduction targets whilst maintaining reliability of supply. Current models of the UK energy system either make significant assumptions about the role of demand side management or do not carry out the analysis at sufficient resolution and hence determining the impact of heat electrification on the reliability of supply of the scenarios is not possible. This paper presents a new model that estimates national supply and demand, hour-by-hour. Calculations are based on 11 years of weather data which allows a probabilistic assessment of deficit frequency throughout the day. It is found that achieving demand reduction targets are far more important than meeting electrification targets and that significant adoption of CHP is most likely to deliver a viable energy future for the UK.

“…The EnergyPLAN model is specialized in the large scale integration of the renewables in the energy system [26,27], optimal combinations of the renewables [28], implementation of the combined heat and power plants (CHP) in the energy systems [29], implementation of transportation in the energy sector [30,31], simulation of the 100% renewable energy systems [8,9,15] and for identification of the most appropriate market auction settings for electricity in the fossil free energy systems [32]. Typical input data are demands, RES, generation unit's capacities, storage capacities, fuel consumptions in individual, transport and industry sector, fuel costs, investment, variable and fixed operation and maintenance costs of different units, CO 2 emissions factors of fuels and different regulation strategies.…”

a b s t r a c tThe most important problems the energy sector faces in Macedonia are an unfavourable energy mix with a high prevalence of lignite, a strong dependence on energy import, poor condition of the energy system and inefficiency in energy production and use. This paper investigates the prospects for realization of the 100% renewable energy system in Macedonia by making use of the EnergyPLAN model. Analysis was conducted for two renewable scenarios designed for the years 2030 and 2050. First scenario, the 50% renewable energy system, has been created for the year 2030 and represents the first step towards the 100% renewable energy future of Macedonia. The second scenario has been designed for the 100% renewable energy system based only on the renewable energy sources (RES) in the year 2050. Special attention in the design of these systems has been given to intermittent RES and to storage technologies. The analysis reveals that at the moment the 50% renewable energy system seems much more likely than the 100% renewable energy system, but with additional energy efficiency measures, which will lead to a decrease of consumption and with installation of new generation capacities this goal can be easily achieved.

“…One of its advantages is its emphasis on renewable energy sources and their integration into existing systems. For example, the Chinese energy system was reconstructed in EnergyPLAN in paper [38]; a study of large-scale integration of wind power, phase-out of nuclear energy while increasing the share of RES in the case of Romania was analyzed in [39]; reduction of GHG emissions in the US using photovoltaic (PV) was studied in [40]; implementation of combined heat and power (CHP) plants was studied in [41], etc. As shown in the aforementioned papers, the model uses input data and conducts annual analysis of an energy system based on hourly steps.…”

Wind energy integration into future energy systems based on conventional plants – The case study of Croatia

et al. 2014

Croatian energy system is currently highly import-dependent and integration of a high share of renewable energy sources needs to be considered. This paper studies eight scenarios; three proposed by the Croatian Energy Strategy, one proposed by the Indicative medium-term development plan of Croatia's Transmission System Operator, and four alternative scenarios that propose extensive construction of hydro, wind and solar power plants in Croatia. Calculations have been conducted in the EnergyPLAN model based on modelled long term energy demand projections in the NeD model, with 2009 as the base year and a scope ranging until the year 2030. Each of the eight proposed scenarios is observed trough different hydrological conditions while analysing import dependency, economic costs and CO2 emissions. After the initial calculations, additional analysis of intensive wind power penetration has been conducted. The Results show that energy systems with a larger share of conventional and nonflexible power plants have more difficulty adjusting to wind power plants production. In case of a high share penetration of wind in a system based upon such power plants, the feasibility of investing in new large combustion plants that will spend most of the time working on minimum capacity is brought into question. INTRODUCTIONGrowing dependency on energy imports, obligation to decrease CO2 emissions, high and unstable energy prices, and increasing age of production facilities are some of the problems European energy systems need to face. In 2010, primary energy import dependency of EU-27 countries amounted to 52.7%, an increase of 22% since 1995, with predictions of reaching 70% in the next 20-30 years [1]. To decrease import dependency, as well as reduce CO2 emissions, European Union is planning increased implementation of renewable energy sources (RES),
