An important aim behind the restructuring of Germany's and Europe's
electricity systems is to reduce the environmental burden,
especially with respect to greenhouse gas emissions, of the current
systems. Emissions must be brought down to a level that is
sustainable in the long run and consistent with greenhouse gas
emission reduction goals. Meeting these goals will require a system
(as best as current knowledge suggests) that will be able to cope
simultaneously with the fundamental demands for economic
efficiency, environmental sustainability and supply security.
Making use of existing scenarios, this study sketches such a
system. It focuses in particular on auxiliary systems such as
energy storage methods and network extensions.
The study introduces technologies that can balance electricity in
energy systems and that can serve as enabling technologies for the
integration of large quantities of renewable energies in the power
supply system. It begins with a discussion of normative aims for
the future electricity system before continuing with a description
of current policies and political developments and an overview of
relevant existing energy system studies. These sections serve as
background for the remainder of the study. They are followed by
discussion and analysis of the growing demand for means to balance
the fluctuations found in electricity generated in power systems
with a high penetration of renewable energies, the potentials of
diverse technologies, requirements for electrical networks,
economic impacts and important legal issues. Finally, the main
challenges to the achievement of developing balancing technologies
and processes for renewable electricity-dominant systems are
summarised and recommendations made.
