TL;DR: In this article, the authors model seven scenarios for the European power system in 2050 based on 100% renewable energy sources, assuming different levels of future demand and technology availability, and compare them with a scenario which includes low-carbon non-renewable technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of charging EVs on electricity demand and infrastructure for generation and distribution in the Netherlands, and found that the total cost of ownership (TCO) of current EV are uncompetitive with regular cars and series hybrid cars by more than 800 € year−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the impacts of large-scale intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) on the power system and its thermal generators, and discuss how to accurately model IRES impacts on a low-carbon power system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the operation of future power plants by composing a comprehensive overview of the operational flexibility of current and future coal-powered power plants and performed a combined long-term optimization and hourly simulation with the soft-linked Markal-NL-UU and REPOWERS models for The Netherlands in 2030 and 2050.

TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy of five complementary options to integrate intermittent-RES at the lowest cost is evaluated with the PLEXOS hourly power system simulation tool for Western Europe in the year 2050.
