100% Renewable Energy Systems in the Scandinavian Region
Denmark has set an ambitious goal to become 100% renewable by 2050, and this study aims to investigate further how Denmark could achieve this goal. Specifically the study aims to help understand the implications for Denmark when it is interconnected … Continue reading
A 100% Renewable Energy Strategy for Aalborg
Link to summary (In Danish) Link to report (In Danish) Link to the Journal Paper focusing on Heat Aalborg Municipality, Denmark, wishes to investigate the possibilities of becoming independent of fossil fuels. This article describes a scenario for supplying Aalborg … Continue reading
Modelling of energy systems with a high percentage of CHP and wind power (2003)
Link to the Journal Paper This paper presents the energy system analysis model EnergyPLAN, which has been used to analyse the integration of large scale wind power into the national Danish electricity system. The main purpose of the EnergyPLAN model … Continue reading
Management of fluctuations in wind power and CHP comparing two possible Danish strategies (2002)
Link to the Journal Paper Both CHP (combined heat and power production) and wind power are important elements of Danish energy policy. Today, approximately 50% of both the Danish electricity and heat demand are produced in CHP and more than … Continue reading
Energy efficiency analysis and impact evaluation of the application of thermoelectric power cycle to today’s CHP systems (2010)
Link to the Journal Paper High efficiency thermoelectric generators (TEG) can recover waste heat from both industrial and private sectors. Thus, the development and deployment of TEG may represent one of the main drives for technological change and fuel substitution. … Continue reading
CEESA: 100% Renewable Energy Scenarios for Denmark to 2050 (2012)
Visit the CEESA Homepage Download the CEESA reports The CEESA project (Coherent Energy and Environmental System Analysis) presents technical scenarios as well as implementation policies and a road map of Denmark’s transition from a fossil fuel-dominated energy system to a … Continue reading
Optimal designs of small CHP plants in a market with fluctuating electricity prices (2005)
Combined Heat and Power production (CHP) are essential for implementation of the climate change response objectives in many countries. In an introduction period, small CHP plants have typically been offered fixed electricity prices, but in many countries, such pricing conditions … Continue reading
Management of surplus electricity-production from a fluctuating renewable-energy source (2003)
Link to the Journal Paper Renewable-energy sources and energy efficiency are important elements in Danish Energy Policy. The implementation of wind power and combined heat- and power production (CHP) have already led to substantial fuel savings, and both technologies are … Continue reading
The effectiveness of storage and relocation options in renewable energy systems (2008)
Link to the Journal Paper Across the world, energy planners and transmission system operators are faced with decisions on how to deal with challenges associated with high penetration levels of intermittent energy resources and combined heat and power (CHP). At … Continue reading
Integration of renewable energy into the transport and electricity sectors through V2G (2008)
Link to the Journal Paper Large-scale sustainable energy systems will be necessary for substantial reduction of CO2. However, large-scale implementation faces two major problems: (1) we must replace oil in the transportation sector, and (2) since today’s inexpensive and abundant … Continue reading
