European Directives on Renewables

Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC is a European Union directive which

mandates levels of renewable energy use within the European Union.

The key objectives of the strategy are to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by

20%, to increase the share of renewable energy to 20%, and to achieve

energy savings of 20% or more

Introduction...

Modeling Framework

LEAP: Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning

≡ Energy and environmental simulation model: can reflect current situation

and develop forecasts under given assumptions

≡ Developed by Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) in the 1980s

≡ Consists of Modules: Demand, Transformation, Environment and

Evaluation

= In this work, the new capability of the LEAP software tool has been used to

calculate the optimal expansion and dispatch of power plants for German electric

system.

= A least cost system can optionally be calculated subject to a number of user

specified constraints including maximum annual levels of emissions for any given

pollutant (CO2, Sox, Nox, PM10, etc.) and minimum or maximum capacities for

certain plant types.

= We use LEAP’s model scenario capabilities to calculate explore different optimal

solutions under different sets of input assumptions.

= LEAP includes the capability to automatically calculate least cost capacity

expansion and dispatch of supply-side Transformation modules.

Modeling Framework

■ The objective function is to minimize the total discounted costs for each year and

for each technology

σyσtTotalDiscountedCostsy,t

■ Fuel production constraints:

Productiony,ts,f ≥ Demandy,ts,f + Consumptiony,ts,f

■ Capacity constraints:

Activityy,l,t ≤ TotalInstalledCapacityy,t ∗ CapacityFactory,t

■ Activity constraints:

σl(Activityy,l,t ∗ YearSplity,l) ≤ TotAnnCapy,t ∗ AvailFactory,t ∗ CapFactory,t

■ The calculations are based on linear programming. OSeMOSYS aims to calculate

the least-cost system

Concluding Remarks

Phase-out of nuclear power plants is feasible

DSM leads to minimised social costs

In Germany, there are already many existing Acts and Federal Governmental plan

towards heavy renewable energy implementation in the electricity mix and they are in

line with the European Union directives which is evident from the results.

The model result gives an indication towards renewable for long –term benefits.

Power-to-heat is theoretically not necessary

The results of the study suggest that implementation of renewable program at large

scale is possible technically as well as economically for Germany. The variation of

different renewable resources depends on the geographical situation.
