| Title: | Optimal interconnection and renewable targets for north-west Europe | Authors: | Lynch, Muireann Á.; Tol, Richard S.J.; O'Malley, Mark | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/4725 | Date: | Dec-2012 | Online since: | 2013-10-11T15:51:10Z | Abstract: | We present a mixed-integer, linear programming model for determining optimal interconnection for a given level of renewable generation using a cost minimisation approach. Optimal interconnection and capacity investment decisions are determined under various targets for renewable penetration. The model is applied to a test system for eight regions in Northern Europe. It is found that considerations on the supply side dominate demand side considerations when determining optimal interconnection investment: interconnection is found to decrease generation capacity investment and total costs only when there is a target for renewable generation. Higher wind integration costs see a concentration of wind in high-wind regions with interconnection to other regions. | Funding Details: | Science Foundation Ireland | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Elsevier | Journal: | Energy Policy | Volume: | 51 | Start page: | 605 | End page: | 617 | Copyright (published version): | 2012 Elsevier | Keywords: | Electricity interconnection; Renewable generation; Mixed-integer linear programming | DOI: | 10.1016/j.enpol.2012.09.002 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | This item is made available under a Creative Commons License: | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/ |
