Africa is a resource-rich continent but lacks the required power infrastructure. Efforts such as
the United Nations Sustainable Energy for All and US President Obama's Power Africa …

In this study, a particular class of energy system scenarios assuming 100% renewable
energy (RE) are selected and compared. The purpose is to compare the relative …

New challenges arise for the accurate modelling of energy systems with a high share of
renewable energy. In this context, energy storage technologies become key elements to …

The exploration of future energy system trajectories needs to be based on long-term
scenarios, which in turn requires using long-term modelling tools. Introducing a strong …

The planning of energy systems with high penetration of renewables is becoming more and
more important due to environmental and security issues. On the other hand, high shares of …

Demand Response (DR) is a well-known concept which has been recognized as an
increasingly valuable tool to provide flexibility to the power system, to support the integration …

In the last decades, energy modelling has supported energy planning by offering insights
into the dynamics between energy access, resource use, and sustainable development …

This paper systematically investigates how to represent intra-annual temporal variability in
models of optimum electricity capacity investment. Inappropriate aggregation of temporal …

The study of future energy scenarios with high shares of variable renewable energy sources
(VRES) requires an accurate representation of VRES variability and storage capacity …

Energy system planning is a difficult task, since it involves long‐term decision‐makings with
multiple dimensions: technical, economic, social, ecological, and political. The rise of …
