Security of supply through the interaction of renewable and conventional electricity generation (Verekon), 2016 - 2019

Description
The project compares different technology combinations of renewable and conventional power generation including storage with regard to a secured supply of 1,000 MW of electricity. The evaluation of technology combinations for the secure supply of the required capacity is carried out within a scenario process using the criteria of electricity production costs and specific CO2 emissions.
