Priority order in using biomass resources – Energy systems analyses of future scenarios for Denmark

Comparing the value of bioenergy in the heating and transport sectors of an electricity-intensive energy system in Norway

“…EnergyPLAN is suitable for analysing the value of biomass in an energy system through different pathways: thermochemical (combined heat and power (CHP), bio-heat and gasification) and biochemical (biogas, biopetrol and biodiesel) conversion processes. The tool has been used extensively in the design of a 100% renewable energy system in Denmark and other countries (Lund and Mathiesen, 2009;Connolly et al, 2011;C`osic`et al, 2012), and in highly respected peer-reviewed publications dealing with energy system analysis, of which optimal biomass resource assortment in the electricity and heating sectors (Kwon and Østergaard, 2013), wind power integration using flexible technologies (Østergaard, 2013) and the role of district heating in future renewable energy systems are some that can be mentioned. Detailed documentation and free downloads are available at www.energyplan.eu.…”

Reviewing EnergyPLAN simulations and performance indicator applications in EnergyPLAN simulations

“…Kwon and Østergaard [156] determined the ratio between marginal export and marginal changes in biomass-based PES to determine how changes in available fuel for dispatchable power and heat production affect electricity export.…”

“…In [156], Kwon and Østergaard defined the biomass system efficiency g ¼ Output of all plants fueled by biomass À Output from synthetic fuel Input bio mass amount À biomass used for transportation which is basically applied to assess the usefulness of biomass in the energy system -disregarding the transportation system.…”

Assessment and evaluation of flexible demand in a Danish future energy scenario

“…It has been used for a variety of energy systems analyses focusing on high-RES scenarios [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], the behaviors of specific technologies within such scenarios [22,57] and in particular how to ensure electricity balance in high RES systems [58]. Users may configure and simulate energy systems in EnergyPLAN to investigate the effects on fuel, international exchange, security of supply, and socio economy.…”
