Scenarios for a Future Electricity Supply - Cost-optimised variations on supplying Europe and its neighbours with electricity from renewable energies (Hardcover)

In this groundbreaking book, energy systems modelling expert Dr Gregor Czisch analyses electricity supply options for Europe and its neighbouring regions. He describes how our electricity supply could be structured in an optimally costeffective manner largely based on currently available technologies. Czisch proposes that power plant usage and selection be optimized in a manner that takes full account of the availability and intermittency of renewables. To this end, the author provides a number of solutions entailing a wide range of thoughtprovoking scenarios. Czisch s visionary study shows that a pan-European renewablesbased supergrid using highvoltage DC lines extending into North Africa could supply an area spanning 50 countries with a combined population of 1.1 billion. The author demonstrates that such a supergrid would obviate the need for fossil fuels and nuclear power, and that its costs would be on a par with or perhaps even lower than our current electricity supply system. This book would appeal to students and professionals with an interest in the field or for those working in renewable energy, politicians and other energy decision makers."
