Design of a fully renewable European energy system -- challenges for the physics of complex systems — •Martin Greiner — Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, Denmark

Todays overall macro energy system based on conventional 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, spatio-temporal modelling, 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 conventional 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.
