EU Project DESIRE: Electricity Balancing for the Large Scale Integration of RES (2005-2007)
In 2005-2007, the EnergyPLAN model was used in the EU-funded project DESIRE (Dissemination Strategy on Electricity Balancing for Large Scale Integration of Renewable Energy). In six regions in Denmark, Germany, the UK, Poland, Spain and Estonia, models of the electricity … Continue reading
Energy City Frederikshavn – A 100% Renewable Energy Scenario for the Town of Frederikshavn
In this project, scenarios were developed for a transition of the Danish city Frederikshavn to become 100% fuelled by renewable energy sources. The project investigated the potential of locally available renewable energy sources, the possible technologies which make use of … Continue reading
Evaluation of Heat Pumps and Electric Vehicles for the Integration of Wind Power in a Future Energy System in Denmark (2011)
In this project, Nikolaos Alagialoglou has analysed how wind power can be integrated into the heat and transport sector of the future energy system of Denmark. The project evaluates heat pumps and electric vehicles as technical means for the integration … Continue reading
County Energy Systems for Humboldt, California, USA (2007)
In 2007, Michael Winkler from Humboldt State University in California USA used the EnergyPLAN model for analysing a county energy system for Humboldt. The study concludes that Humboldt County has sufficient renewable resources to meet all energy needs and that … Continue reading
The Potential Role of Compressed Air Energy Storage in Denmark (2005-2007)
In 2005-2007, the EnergyPLAN model was used in a project to investigate if Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) would be a feasible technology in the Danish Energy System. The project was conducted in a collaboration with the Department of Mechanical … Continue reading
Energy System Analysis of Waste-to-Energy technologies (2007-2009)
The focus of this PhD thesis by Marie Münster is the analysis of the optimal use of waste for energy production in Denmark, now and in the future. The object of analysis is waste which is not reused or recycled, … Continue reading
Energy Model of Italy and Penetration of Renewable Energy (2010)
In 2009-10, Professor Alessandro Franco, together with Pasquale Salza from the University of Pisa, used the EnergyPLAN model for analysing the perspectives of integration of a renewable energy system in the field of a complex energy system like the Italian … Continue reading
Technical Optimisation of the Greek Interconnected Energy System of 2020 using the EnergyPLAN model
In this project, Nikolaos Alagialoglou has analysed how the Greek Interconnected Energy System of 2020 can be technically optimised aiming at a high wind penetration. The way in which the operation of the units is technically regulated according to the … Continue reading
Fuel cells and electrolysers in future energy systems (2006-2009)
In his PhD thesis, Fuel cells and electrolysers in future energy systems, Brian Vad Mathiesen used the EnergyPLAN model as part of the research. Fuel cells and electrolysers have the potential for supplying three main energy services to the end-users: electricity, heat and transport; … Continue reading
Local Energy Markets and MOSAIK (2002-2004)
In 2002-2004, two research projects funded by the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Environment and Energy Ministry used the EnergyPLAN model for designing a flexible energy system which could promote the integration of both CHP and wind power. It … Continue reading
