Auswirkungen der Energiewende auf die Stromnetze Effects of Energy Transition on Power Grids

Abstract

The energy transition in Germany requires a high amount of new wind turbines and photovoltaic power for supply of new electricity consumers for heat and traffic. In addition, high electricity demand for production of hydrogen has to be supplied. The corresponding planning for transmission system extension does not take into account economic and environmental burden. As an alternative to the planned oversized transmission grid extension, a second bidding zone for Germany is suggested.
