Electrical energy storage systems: A comparative life cycle cost analysis
Behnam Zakeri,Sanna Syri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the existing literature in the analysis of life cycle costs of utility-scale electricity storage systems, providing an updated database for the cost elements (capital costs, operational and maintenance costs, and replacement costs).

Smart Energy Europe: The technical and economic impact of one potential 100% renewable energy scenario for the European Union
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from a business-as-usual situation in 2050, to a 100% renewable energy Europe is analysed in a series of steps, where each step reflects one major technological change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status and perspectives on 100% renewable energy systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that research in the design of 100% renewable energy systems in scientific articles is fairly new but has gained increasing attention in recent years, and there is a need for applying a cross-sectoral holistic approach as well as coordinating individual country studies with the global context.

Integration of wind and solar power in Europe: Assessment of flexibility requirements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the flexibility requirements at the operational timescale of 1-12 hours and different spatial scales across Europe and find that the flexibility requirement of a geographically large, transnational power system is significantly lower than of smaller regional systems, especially at high wind penetration.

Energy storage in the energy transition context: A technology review
A.B. Gallo,José R. Simões-Moreira,Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros Costa,Marilin Mariano dos Santos,E. Moutinho dos Santos +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive updated review of energy storage technologies, briefly address their applications and discuss the barriers to energy storage deployment, and point out that no ES technology outstands simultaneously in all technical characteristics and consequently, selection should be driven on a case base analysis.

A review of computer tools for analysing the integration of renewable energy into various energy systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the different computer tools that can be used to analyse the integration of renewable energy is presented, and the results in this paper provide the information necessary to identify a suitable energy tool for analysing the integration into various energy-systems under different objectives.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of compressed air energy storage (CAES) in future sustainable energy systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the value of integrating compressed air energy storage (CAES) into future sustainable energy systems with even higher shares of fluctuating renewable energy sources based on detailed energy system analyses in which the supply of complete national energy systems is calculated hour by hour in relation to the demands during a year.

Seasonal optimal mix of wind and solar power in a future, highly renewable Europe
Dominik Heide,Lueder von Bremen,Martin Greiner,Martin Greiner,Clemens Hoffmann,Markus Speckmann,Stefan Bofinger +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal optimal mix between wind and solar power generation in a future Europe with a very high share of renewable power generation was analyzed and the best point of counterbalancing was found to lead to a pronounced minimum in required stored energy.
