Abstract

The existing fossil fuel based power sector has to be transformed towards carbon neutrality in close future to limit global warming to 2°C. The 100% renewable energy (RE) based system will be discussed in the paper. Such a system can be built using already existing energy generation, storage and transmission technologies. A regional integration of Europe, Eurasia and MENA energy systems will facilitate access to lower cost energy sources in neighboring regions, provide additional flexibility in the system and decrease the need in energy storage and increase the system stability because of more distributed generation. Additional demand from synthetic gas generation will additionally decrease the energy storage demand, additional flexibility enables the system to use lower cost energy sources and the primary energy generation cost decreases. Finally, such an integration can provide a sustainable and economically feasible energy system with total LCOE of about 50 €/MWh for the year 2030 cost assumptions. Even for a much higher energy demand in the system the total LCOE will be around 42 €/MWh - lower than coal-CCS or new nuclear options.

欧洲、欧亚和中东和北非地区可再生能源综合电力系统

现有的以化石燃料为基础的电力部门必须在不久的将来向碳中和转型，以将全球变暖限制在2°C以内。本文将讨论100%基于可再生能源(RE)的系统。这样的系统可以使用现有的能源产生、储存和传输技术来建造。欧洲、欧亚大陆和中东和北非地区能源系统的区域一体化将促进邻近地区获得更低成本的能源，为系统提供额外的灵活性，减少对能源存储的需求，并增加系统稳定性，因为更多的分布式发电。合成气发电的额外需求将进一步减少能源存储需求，额外的灵活性使系统能够使用成本较低的能源，并降低一次能源发电成本。最后，这样的整合可以提供一个可持续的、经济上可行的能源系统，在2030年的成本假设下，总LCOE约为50欧元/兆瓦时。即使对于系统中更高的能源需求，总LCOE也将在42欧元/兆瓦时左右，低于煤- ccs或新的核选项。
