The rapid growth of photovoltaic (PV) systems in Austria's medium- and low-voltage grids has intensified challenges in grid access, with technical limits increasingly leading to restrictions on full feed-in power. This issue has sparked discussions about limiting PV feed-in power and the implications for both generated and curtailed PV energy. At t...
Austria has set the goal to transform its electricity sector to 100% renewable energy sources by 2030. The transition to highly renewable power systems is not only a technical challenge but also has economic implications due to high investment needs. Furthermore, electricity price and demand are interlaced and influence each other, which requires b...
This paper introduces the open-source GridTool software. It is an easy-to-use tool to convert and simplify electricity grid data from the OpenStreetMap-project (OSM) for the use in power simulation models. The main advantages of the newly developed tool are its flexibility, customizability and its heuristic approach for identifying grid nodes. Inst...

This paper introduces the open-source Low-carbon Expansion Generation Optimization (LEGO) model. It is a multi-purpose tool to carry out numerous techno-economic analyses of the energy sector, ranging from short-term unit commitment to long-term generation and transmission expansion planning. Its highly flexible temporal structure permits both chro...
In this paper, we take a look at Austria’s renewable energy targets established in the Renewable Energy Expansion Act (EAG), aiming to annually generate an additional 10 TWh of wind power by 2030. We conduct a GIS (geographic information system)-based analysis to determine average wind power density in Austria on a cellular level while considering...
The electricity economies in North Africa and in the Middle East are currently heavily dependent on fossil fuels. As these countries have also signed the Paris Climate Agreement, plans to move towards renewable energies are already in place. In some of these countries the destruction of power infrastructure due to civil war and hostilities leads to...

Information about the existing electricity infrastructure in Africa of the Open Street Map (OSM) project is processed to reduce the very large original data set, with great care taken that no important data is inadvertently lost. The mean solar incoming shortwave (SIS) radiation between 1983 and 2017 is calculated using a Geographic Information Sys...

The mitigation of climate change is a topic of highest priority, especially in the European Union (EU). Therefore, every sector including the energy sector has to play its role in order to achieve the goals the EU has set itself for 2020, 2030 and 2050. This paper deals with the challenges of the integration of renewable energies in the Mediterrane...
Every two years, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) publishes a Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP), which provides an overview of the necessary expansion in the transmission network of the European Union (EU). The latest report (TYNDP 2018 [1]) includes three scenarios of possible future energy de...

With the effects of climate change becoming increasingly noticeable the integration of measures to mitigate it become more and more urgent. This is a global challenge and the electricity sector plays a decisive role in this: The shift from conventional power plants to supply-dependent renewable energies and the increased electricity consumption in...
The main purpose of this paper is a comprehensive investigation of the Greek electricity production and transmission system with a focus on the integration of renewable energy sources. A techno-economic model of the Continental European electricity sector called ATLANTIS is used to analyse the development of the Greek power system. Several differen...
