Details RESUR
The transformation of our energy system and the achievement of climate neutrality in 2045 are the central social challenges of our time, and are our responsibility. The increasing pace of integration of renewables into the energy system, as well as recent disruptive events such as the war in Ukraine and its impact on the energy system and the economy, have demonstrated the need for a rapid proactive analysis of the fundamental aspects of the energy system and resource procurement for decision-makers in Germany in politics, business, science and society on the basis of highly-detailed, model-supported, and sector-coupled basis.
The goal is to support strategic decision-making for supply, and to accelerate the implementation of the energy turnaround in Germany in the European context, as well as including global central imports. Geostrategic aspects, criticality and risk diversification are given special consideration.
Within the scope of this project, the IIP contributes to the
modules “Energy and resource markets, energy market design, and economic evaluation” and “Disruptive scenarios and robustness of the energy system.”
In the first module, the IIP will develop extended energy market models, which can be used to investigate the robustness of energy systems with regard to the effects of disruptive events.
In the second module, using PERSEUS, the geographic focus of diversified multimodal imports of renewables into Europe will be extended to global coverage. The influences of disruptive scenarios on the energy system as well as the security of supply of materials and energy carriers relevant for the energy system will be investigated with the help of an impact analysis, and spatially and temporally quantified. This year, we have been looking in detail at the impact of a heat wave in 2026 on electricity prices and security of supply. We have also started developing a server tool for the automated download of energy research data. Together in the project, we analyzed how to connect the individual models to run joint analyses.
