100% RE in Ireland Aalborg University, DK source: Connolly D. and Mathiesen V., 2014. A technical and economic analysis of one potential pathway to a 100% renewable energy system, Int. J. Sustain Energy Planning and Mgm Key characteristics: 100% RE system for all sector hourly resolved simulation solar PV forgotten well balanced RE-heat and RE-mobility focus on energy flows and system costs no grid, no import/ export, not fully optimised 33
100% RE in Ireland Aalborg University, DK Key insights: 7 step approach feasible significant increase in power demand (~ +350%) BUT, no change in total primary energy demand (TPED) highly efficient power-based RE system enables powerto-gas/liquid pathways 34
100% RE in Ireland Aalborg University, DK Key insights: 2020 system cost only 30% higher than reference (neglecting: cost of climate change, cancer deaths, negative trade balance effects, lower level of employment in energy sector, less tax income) 2050 system cost identical to reference simplified standard economic consideration, neglecting the full view on total societal cost otherwise, maybe 30% less in cost (personal estimate) 35 significant increase in employment (> 100 000 jobs)
Agora Energiewende Role of Electricity Key insights: mobility will be powered by electricity (batteries and PtG) chemistry will change the resource basis towards electricity source: Agora Energiewende, 2014. Stromspeicher in der Energiwende 36
Agenda Market Development and Assumptions Grid-Parity Events till 2030 Outlook Summary 37
Summary We expect strong PV market growth during the 2010s and PV eventually reaching a 600+ GWp cumulated installed capacity Very good economics of PV push the growth ahead Cumulated installations by YE 2014 represent a marginal 10% of 2030 market potential Annual installations may grow 2x till 2020 and 3.5x till 2030 PV can successfully compete with grid electricity Adaptations in this model: fixed charges of the electricity bill are excluded (~15% of total cost) national WACC levels are applied system cost assumptions rather conservative Nevertheless PV becomes more competitive in more than 150 countries and their respective market segments; reaching 60% and 94% of global electricity demand in 2020 and 2030; respectively 38
