Based on the “European green deal”, the European Union has set itself the goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This ambitious goal presents major challenges for the energy system. What this transformation path look like, is currently the state of research. As a tool for strategic long-term energy planning, scenario-based sensitivity analysis has established themselves as a proven method.
The transition scenarios, which are considered in guidelines, ordinances and laws to data for the calculation of grid infrastructure is the central topic of this work.
The reduction of this discrepancy is carried out on the basis of a database model.
The model must consider the developments of the energy scenarios, the grid infrastructure, weather conditions, flexibility strategies as well as economic and demographic changes of the society.
Grid simulations require a high degree of temporal and spatial resolution in order to make reliable statements about potential bottlenecks in the energy system. As a preventive measure against the occurrence of potential bottlenecks, infrastructure expansion must be planned in the long term, taking external influencing parameters into account.
The influence of sector-specific measures on the overall efficiency on the energy system can be evaluated by using an exergetic optimization model from a previous study. As part of this work, this model was further developed to include additional flexibility options, which describe user behavior in the calculation of driving modes for controllable elements of the energy system. Finally, the range of energy sources was expanded and further storage elements were implemented.
