The effects of increasing solar energy sources in the Hungarian electricity system

Abstract

Due to climate change, global sustainability goals have been defined to reduce emissions and encourage the transformation of the entire energy sector. The current, fossil fuel-based electricity generation will be replaced by renewable energy sources. This analysis discusses the predictable effects of the National Energy- and Climate Plan, from the aspects of energy production, import demand, and carbon dioxide emission and the problematics of the renewable energy's overproduction to give a scope of future challenges, such as the necessity of an energy storage system and the volatile operation of renewable energy generation.
