Machine Learning and Geographic Information Systems for large-scale mapping of renewable energy potential

Dan Assouline

A promising pathway to follow in order to reach sustainable development goals is an increased reliance on renewable sources of energy. The optimized use of these energy sources, however, requires the assessment of their potential supply, along with the dem ...

Enough Metals? Resource Constraints to Supply a Fully Renewable Energy System

Vincent Moreau, François Richard Vuille, Piero Carlo Dos Reis

The transition from a fossil fuel base to a renewable energy system relies on materials and, in particular, metals to manufacture and maintain energy conversion technologies. Supply constraints shift from fossil fuels to mineral resources. We assess the av ...

Scenario modelling and optimisation of renewable energy integration for the energy transition

Victor Codina Gironès

A large number of countries have engaged themselves in an energy transition towards more re- newable energy in their energy systems. Motivations stem mainly from the need to reduce CO2 emissions, and from a desire of their population to phase out technolog ...

IntegrCiTy - D4.3 Report - Integrated method for systematic scenario generation using multi-objective optimization

Luc Girardin

Multi-energy networks are going to play an important role in dense areas (cities) for the energy transition and the integration of renewable energy sources [1]. The IntegrCiTy project uses a co-simulation approach at urban scale in order to maximize the pe ...

Integrating Renewable Energy Technologies into Distributed Energy Systems Maintaining System Flexibility

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Flexibility of the energy system plays a vital role when integrating non-dispatchable renewable energy technologies. However, flexibility of the energy system has been often discussed only focusing on the operation of the energy system. This study extends ...
