Synergies of sector coupling and transmission reinforcement in a cost-optimised, highly renewable European energy system
TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered both cross-sector and cross-border integration in the model PyPSA-Eur-Sec-30, the first open, spatially-resolved, temporally resolved and sector-coupled energy model of Europe, and calculated the cost-optimal system for a 95% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 1990, incorporating electricity, transport and heat demand.About:

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.

TL;DR: A LUT Energy System Transition Model is utilized to indicate that a carbon neutral electricity system can be built in all global regions in an economically feasible way but requires evolutionary changes for the following 35 years.

Flexible electricity generation, grid exchange and storage for the transition to a 100% renewable energy system in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, two transition pathways towards a 100% renewable energy (RE) power sector by 2050 are simulated for Europe using the LUT Energy System Transition model, where regions are modelled independently, and the second is an area scenario, which has transmission interconnections between regions.

TL;DR: The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was completed for the 31-yr period from 1979 to 2009, in January 2010 as mentioned in this paper, which was designed and executed as a global, high-resolution coupled atmosphere-ocean-land surface-sea ice system to provide the best estimate of the state of these coupled domains over this period.

4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) Integrating smart thermal grids into future sustainable energy systems
Henrik Lund,Sven Werner,Robin Wiltshire,Svend Svendsen,Jan Eric Thorsen,Frede Hvelplund,Brian Vad Mathiesen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of 4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) was defined, including the relations to district cooling and the concepts of smart energy and smart thermal grids.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of second generation biofuel technologies.
TL;DR: The biochemical route, being less mature, probably has a greater cost reduction potential than the thermo-chemical route, but here a wider range of synthetic fuels can be produced to better suit heavy truck, aviation and marine applications.
