First created a simulation with 100% renewable global energy
For the first time a computer simulation has been able to create viable global energy system, powered only by renewable energy from the sun and wind.
A new model developed by researchers of the Technological University of Lappeenranta (LUT, Finland) demonstrates how the electrical system based largely on solar and wind, operates in all regions of the world. It shows the possibility in principle of functioning of the power system, which is able to carry out the Paris agreement, using only renewable energy sources.
Simulation Internet of Energy Model covers the entire planet and is divided into 145 individual sites, are included in 9 main regions.
"Using simulation, one can see that the electrical system based on renewable sources viable. For the first time scientists have been able to do this on a global scale," says Christian Breyer, LUT Professor and one of the principal authors of the computer model.
The purpose of the model is to find the most effective solutions to create energy systems to renewable energy sources. It shows how the most economical to arrange the electricity supply depending on needs, time of day and seasons. Presented in the simulation of the power plant, storage and transport of energy provide 9 major regions of electricity at the price from 55 to 70 euros per MW*h.
However, the developers of the model is not going to stop there, they hope to expand its functionality that will eventually allow you to simulate the whole energy sector including generation and transportation. Their plans also included the creation of a model of transition from existing energy systems to a fully sustainable low-carbon solutions. published
