Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission needs across a fully renewable European power system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the residual load and excess power generation of 30 European countries with a 100% penetration of variable renewable energy sources to quantify the benefit of power transmission between countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Features of a fully renewable US electricity system: Optimized mixes of wind and solar PV and transmission grid extensions

TL;DR: In this paper, wind and solar PV generation data are calculated, based on 32 years of weather data with temporal resolution of 1 h and spatial resolution of 40 × 40 km 2, assuming site-suitability-based and stochastic wind-and solar capacity distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexibility mechanisms and pathways to a highly renewable US electricity future
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore various scenarios and flexibility mechanisms to integrate high penetrations of renewable energy into the US (United States) power grid, and compare pathways to a fully renewable electricity system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission grid extensions during the build-up of a fully renewable pan-European electricity supply
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the future rise in transmission needs with an increasing penetration of the VRES (variable renewable energy sources) on the pan-European electricity system, and showed how the optimal mix between wind and solar energy shifts from about 70% to 80% wind share as the transmission grid is enhanced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Backup flexibility classes in emerging large-scale renewable electricity systems
TL;DR: In this article, a weather-driven modeling is used to quantify the changing demand for those three backup flexibility classes in emerging large-scale electricity systems, as they transform from low to high shares of variable renewable power generation.
