Flow-Based Analysis of Storage Usage in a Low-Carbon European Electricity Scenario

摘要: The application of the flow tracing method to power flows in and out storage units allows analyse usage this technology option large-scale interconnected electricity systems. We apply a data-driven model European network, which uses techno-economic optimisation determine generation capacities dispatch, assuming 95% reduction CO 2 emission compared 1990 levels. A flow-based analysis inflow into different technologies confirms intuition that longer-term hydrogen is mainly utilised for wind, whereas short-term battery mostly receives from solar generation. general shows local-but-global behaviour: Whereas on average outflow these predominantly consumed locally inside same node, when exported it also transmitted over long distances as global flexibility entire.
