Renewable electricity in 2050, part 2
Description
Challenging, EU-wide facilities are needed to ensure reliability!
In this second session, three developments will be discussed, which are of great importance for achieving the ultimate goals. First, the growth of a Europe-wide supergrid is explained. Already, the European power grid is the largest in the world. But it will become necessary to expand it with high-power connections over long distances to transport electricity from new renewable but highly fluctuating sources to customers. In doing so, temporary storage of energy - centralised, large-scale and decentralised, small-scale - will make sense to better balance generation and off-take. The second lecture discusses important and promising storage techniques for this purpose. And further strengthening this alignment is achieved by making electricity off-take much more dependent on availability at the customer. Offtake becomes much more supply-driven, rather than demand-driven. This approach is called Demand Response and will be discussed in the third lecture.
There will be three more meetings in the autumn, the content of which will be announced later. To conclude the lecture series, we will go through the concrete situation for the Netherlands in the last meeting.
As someone interested in these issues, you should definitely not miss any of these meetings
