New paper published in Joule
S. Marelli co-authored a new paper comparing options for a European renewable energy supply grid. The paper is a result from a collaboration with IAAS Potsdam and the Climate Policy Group in ETH.
The paper titled Trade-Offs between Geographic Scale, Cost, and Infrastructure Requirements for Fully Renewable Electricity in Europe offers a quantitative analysis of the main trade-offs in terms of policy and infrastructure on different geographical scales to reach the goal of a fully-renewable energy supply in Europe. The use of state-of-the-art techniques such as multi-fidelity polynomial chaos expansions allows for an in-depth sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, despite the massive computational costs associated to the high-resolution continental models adopted.
