Minimizing Variance in Variable Renewable Energy Generation in Northern Europe
The growing installations of variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, which are driven by weather patterns, can cause challenges to the operation and planning of power systems. This paper minimizes the variance of aggregate VRE generation based on the amount of different VRE technology types installed in different countries over a large geographical area. A mixture of offshore and onshore wind, and solar photovoltaic generation is considered. In the presented case study in Northern Europe, the optimized scenario provides a doubling of the expected annual VRE energy with a much lower increase in the aggregate VRE generation variability compared to other scenarios. The optimized scenario shows clearly the benefit of having a mixture of different VRE technologies with geographically highly spread installations.
