Impact of climate change on renewable power resources and consequently on a future highly renewable European power system

摘要: Renewable power is on the rise world wide to mitigate climate change and allow for sustainable economic development. However, renewable resources are effected by climate change and their variability makes their system integration already a challenging task requiring sufficient balancing infrastructure. Power system studies (eg,[1]) often rely on historical weather data and therefore neglect effects of climate change.In this work, we use EURO-CORDEX ([2]) data on wind speed, temperature and solar irradiation with a spatial resolution of approximately 12 km and a temporal resolution of 3 hours under emission pathway rcp 8.5 until 2100 to investigate the impact of climate change on wind and solar resources and consequently on a highly renewable European power system. We transform this data into power densities and investigate different aspects of resource and power data such as capacity factors, variability …
