An up-to-date partial coal phase out scenario based on the power system and prices defined in the EUCO3232.5 scenario for 2030 is analysed with the METIS power system model. Following the removal of coal and lignite fleets in excess of half the …
Our report “Power system flexibility in a variable climate” assesses the impact of the annual variation of meteorological factors – the climate variability – on the operations of the power systems in 34 European countries that jointly constitute the …
The present report summarises the creation of “current contexts” to simulate with METIS the European power system as closely as possible to today’s (“current”) configuration. The simulated operation is compared to the actual operation based on …
The heating and cooling sector has been recognised as a priority to achieve the decarbonisation and energy efficiency targets. Heating and cooling in the built environment accounts for almost 40% of the total final energy demand. Since the heat …
The WEFE nexus is an approach that integrates management and governance across the multiple sectors of food, energy, water, and ecosystems. The nexus corroborates the need to not view water, energy, food. and ecosystems as being separate entities, …
This report describes the implementation of the Dispa-SET model version 2.2. It extensively describes the model equations, the model inputs, and the resolution process. This version of Dispa-SET focuses more specifically on the inclusion of the …
The Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) obliges all Member States to perform a Comprehensive Assessment of their potential for the application of high-efficiency cogeneration and efficient district heating and cooling, containing the …
This report comprises the water-constrained models in electric power systems developed within the WATERFLEX Exploratory Research Project of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in order to analyse the water-power interactions. The version …
