Distributed Photovoltaics Provides Key Benefits for a Highly Renewable European Energy System
Abstrak
Distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are projected to be a key contributor to the future energy landscape, but are often poorly represented in energy models due to their distributed nature. Here, we model the European power network with a high spatio-temporal resolution using a simplified model of distribution and transmission networks. Three scenarios, including a sector-coupled scenario with heating, transport, and industry are investigated. The results show that incorporating distributed solar PV leads to total system cost reduction in all scenarios (1.4 % for power sector, 1.9-3.7% for sector-coupled). The role of distributed PV is noteworthy in the sector-coupled scenario and is helped by other distributed technologies including heat pumps and electric vehicle batteries.
