A 100% renewable power system in Europe — •Martin Greiner1, Sarah Becker2, Rolando Rodriguez1, Tue Jensen1, Timo Zeyer1, Anders Soendergaard1, and Gorm Andresen11Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark — 2FIAS, Frankfurt, Germany

Todays overall macro energy system based on fossil and nuclear resources will transform into a future system dominantly relying on fluctuating renewable resources. At the moment it is not really clear what will be the best transitional pathway between the current and the future energy system. In this respect it makes sense to think backwards, which means in a first step to get a good functional understanding of fully renewable energy systems and then in a second step bridge from there to todays energy system. Based on state-of-the-art high-resolution meteorological and electrical load data, simple spatio-temporal modelling, solid time-series analysis and the physics of complex networks, fundamental properties of a fully renewable pan-European power system are determined. Amongst such characteristics are the optimal mix of wind and solar power generation, the optimal combination of storage and balancing, the optimal extension of the transmission network, as well as the optimal ramp down of fossil and nuclear power generation during the transitional phase. These results indicate that the pathways into future energy systems will be driven by an optimal systemic combination of technologies, and that economy and markets have to follow technology.
