“…An overview of other literature on different energy systems in terms of 100% renewable energy can be found in Reference [71]. The literature also points out the need for electricity storage in the case of transition to renewable energy and including it in intelligent energy systems [72]. The renewable energy defects include the lack of continuity of its production, which is often associated with the climate.…”

The policy related to the use of renewable sources is a key element of the energy policy executed in the European Union (EU). One of the targets set for 2050 is to increase the share of electricity in energy consumption to 50%, and 80% of electricity is to be generated from low-carbon sources. In recent years, the EU economies have significantly modified their electricity production, which raises the question of the scale of these changes. The aim of the presented analysis is to assess changes in the use of renewable sources for electricity production in the EU countries in 2005–2019. Gini coefficient and k-mean are applied in the analysis. The conducted research shows that EU countries, in line with the energy policy assumptions, have both increased the share of renewable sources in energy production, especially in electricity production, as well as increased the diversity of used renewable sources. The results also indicate a vast diversity in terms of the use of such sources for the production of renewable electricity in the EU. This indicates that the energy transition is being implemented by EU countries with individual country-level approaches. Nonetheless, a variety of the EU’s both support and restrictive measures are of considerable importance for the ongoing energy transition.

“…All the selected models use EnergyPLAN as a computer tool for simulating the energy system. EnergyPLAN is a deterministic input-output model developed by Lund et al at Aalborg University [27]. The model includes all energy sectors and is able to interconnect different sub-sectors by a wide range of technologies (see Figure 3).…”

Heading Towards 100% of Renewable Energy Sources Fraction: a critical overview on Smart Energy Systems planning and flexibility measures

The growing penetration of non-programmable energy sources will largely contribute to intensify the renewable capacity firming issues. Providing a higher systems flexibility, i.e. the ability to match the supply and the demand sides as much as possible, is the main challenge to cope with, by adopting new energy planning paradigms. In this framework, different combined strategies, aiming at efficiently integrating that large amount of variable RES (VRES), have to be implemented. In the recent years, the Smart Energy Systems (SES) concept has been introduced to overcome the single-sector approach, promoting a holistic and integrated vision. By that approach, it is possible to exploit synergies between different energy sectors so as to identify the best technical options to globally reduce the primary fossil energy consumption. Starting from a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the most recent international studies dealing with the SES approach, the aim of this paper is to critically review and analyse the role of the main potential flexibility measures applied in the energy planning sector. In detail, Power-to-X and Demand Side Management (DSM) application have been considered, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of such strategies to accomplish the ambitious target of 100% renewable. From this literature review, it emerges how a single strategy adoption is not enough to guarantee the required flexibility level for the whole energy system. Indeed, the best configuration can be attained by integrating different options matching all the external constraints.

“…Storage systems are becoming a crucial part of current and future sustainable energy systems (see, e.g., [109,144,183]). Such systems support satisfying the energy demand of, e.g., a neighborhood, when renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are insufficient due to, e.g., unfavorable weather conditions.…”
