Charting the course: A possible route to a fully renewable Swiss power system
Michael Lehning, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett
The prospect of a renewable transition seems plausible for many countries, but can be shrouded in risks, costs and challenges. This paper illuminates a path for such a transition with a numerical investigation, aimed at resolving the power dynamics of a co ...
2018Interplay between photovoltaic, wind energy and storage hydropower in a fully renewable Switzerland
Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett
As part of its ambitious long term energy strategy, Switzerland plans to phase out nuclear power production and replace most or all of its significant share of national electricity production (40%) by renewables, in particular by photovoltaics (PV) and win ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Using GIS data and satellite-derived irradiance to optimize siting of PV installations in Switzerland
Michael Lehning, Fabrizio Sossan, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl, Viet Anh Nguyen, Stuart John Bartlett
For a successful distribution strategy of PV installations, it does not suffice to choose the locations with highest annual total irradiance. Attention needs to be given to spatial correlation patterns of insolation to avoid large system-wide variations, w ...
2016Large Scale Deployment of PV Units in Existing Distribution Networks: Optimization of the Installation Layout
Mario Paolone, Michael Lehning, Fabrizio Sossan, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett, Jana Darulová
In fixed PV installations, the azimuth and tilt of the panels are normally chosen with the objective of maximizing the plant capacity factor. In this paper, we show that when considering distribution networks with densely clustered PV plants, there exist i ...
Università degli Studi di Genova, Italy2016Risks and Reliability in a Fully Renewable Switzerland
Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett
In Switzerland, the government has made ambitious plans for a major energy transition. There is a planned phase out of nuclear facilities by mid-century, their capacity replaced by an expansion of hydroelectric infrastructure, new geothermal installations, ...
