Analyzing Scenarios for the Integration of Renewable Energy Sources in the Mexican Energy System—An Application of the Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD)
Sarmiento, Luis; Burandt, Thorsten; Löffler, Konstantin; Oei, Pao-Yu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper uses numerical techno-economic modelling to analyse the effect of current national renewable targets and climate goals on the cost and structural composition of the Mexican energy system. For this, we construct ... -
Chances and barriers for Germany's low carbon transition - Quantifying uncertainties in key influential factors
Löffler, Konstantin; Burandt, Thorsten; Hainsch, Karlo; Oei, Pao-Yu; Seehaus, Frederik; Wejda, Felix (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)With the energy sector being one of the largest sources of global greenhouse-gas emissions, a swift change in the ways of energy generation and consumption is needed for a fulfilment of climate goals. But while the existence ... -
Decarbonizing China’s energy system – Modeling the transformation of the electricity, transportation, heat, and industrial sectors
Burandt, Thorsten; Xiong, Bobby; Löffler, Konstantin; Oei, Pao-Yu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Growing prosperity among its population and an inherent increasing demand for energy complicate China’s target of combating climate change, while maintaining its economic growth. This paper, therefore, describes three ... -
Development and modelling of different decarbonisation scenarios of the European energy system until 2050 as a contribution to achieving the ambitious 1.5°C climate target - Establishment of open source/data modelling in the European H2020 project openENTRANCE
Auer, Hans; Crespo del Granado, Pedro; Qei, Pao-Yu; Hainsch, Karlo; Löffler, Konstantin; Burandt, Thorsten; Huppmann, Daniel; Graabak, Ingeborg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ambition of the openENTRANCE project is to develop and establish an open, transparent and integrated modelling platform for assessing low-carbon transition pathways of the European energy system. In this context, the ... -
Emission Pathways Towards a Low-Carbon Energy System for Europe: A Model-Based Analysis of Decarbonization Scenarios
Hainsch, Karlo; Burandt, Thorsten; Löffler, Konstantin; Kemfert, Claudia; Oei, Pao-Yu; Hirschhausen, Christian von (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical ... -
Energy System Modeling: Investigating a decoupled approach to capital cost of energy storage and Vehicle-to-Grid in the European energy system
Sæbøe, Brage Simonsen (Master thesis, 2024)Energisystemer over hele verden er i et skifte mot mer bærekraftige måter å produsere energi på, drevet frem av de utfordringene med klimaendringer. Variable fornybare energikilder som vind- og solkraft har kommet fram som ... -
Environmental and climate impacts of a large-scale deployment of green hydrogen in Europe
Shen, Haiping; Crespo del Granado, Pedro Andres; Jorge, Raquel Santos; Löffler, Konstantin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Green hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in decarbonizing the energy system in Europe. However, large-scale deployment of green hydrogen has associated potential trade-offs in terms of climate and other environmental ... -
Europe's independence from Russian natural gas — Effects of import restrictions on energy system development
Moskalenko, Nikita; Löffler, Konstantin; Hainsch, Karlo; Hanto, Jonathan; Herpich, Philipp (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)With the Russian invasion on Ukraine in 2022 and the following disruption of Russian natural gas imports, Europe’s energy reliance on Russia has become more apparent than ever. To tackle the resulting challenges of a limited ... -
Lessons from Modeling 100% Renewable Scenarios Using GENeSYS-MOD
Oei, Pao-Yu; Burandt, Thorsten; Hainsch, Karlo; Löffler, Konstantin; Kemfert, Claudia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The main aim of models has never been to provide numbers, but insights. Still, challenges prevail for modelers to use the best configuration of their models to provide helpful insights. In the case of energy system modelling, ... -
Modeling the low-carbon transition of the European energy system - A quantitative assessment of the stranded assets problem
Löffler, Konstantin; Burandt, Thorsten; Hainsch, Karlo; Oei, Pao-Yu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this paper, multiple pathways for the European energy system until 2050 are computed, focusing on one of the major challenges of the low-carbon transition: the issue of unused capacities and stranded assets. Three ...
