Fundamental Research Approach
- Independent of policies or technological advances
- Strongly dependent on reliable and thorough weather data
- Based on simple mathematical models

Mismatch Calculation
Hourly mismatch of generation and consumption:
Dn (t) = a G (t)+ (1- a )G (t) - Ln (t)

W(t): Normalized hourly wind power generation.
S(t): Normalized hourly solar power generation.
L(t): Normalized hourly electricity demand (load).
Power generation is normalized according to energy output
and not installed capacity.
GnS (t) = GnW (t) = Ln (t)

Residual Load
Instantaneous mismatch:
Residual load needs to be covered by power
balancing from conventional sources!

Optimising for
Storage Energy ≈ 60% wind power + 40% solar power
Balancing Energy ≈ 70% wind power + 30% solar power
Balancing Power ≈ >70% wind power + <30% solar power

A Fully Renewable Europe
Analysed Scenario
•27 European Countries
•Annual Renewable Production =
Annual Consumption
•Existing links as of winter 2011-2012
•Optimal mix installed in all countries
≈ 70% Wind, 30% Solar
What are the benefits of transmission for a fully renewable Europe?
What is a sufficiently large transmission system?

Unconstrained Power Transmission
Quantifying the benefit of transmission is done through the total need for balancing
Bn =(Δn-(KF)n)Which is a result of

• Mismatch
• Net Exports

Unconstrained Power Transmission
We identify sufficiently large quantiles on transmission limitations.

Constrained Power Transmission
• Copper Plate transmission roughly 10x actual installed capacity.
• 99% Quantiles roughly 5x actual installed capacity.
• Several ways to interpolate
– Linear Increase of current limits
– Linear Reduction of 99% Quantile limits
– Implementation of intermediate Quantiles
• These constraints implemented as limits on flow capacity
