Expert workshop: System Integration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE)

The expert workshop took place on 20 February 2013 at PIK in Potsdam, Germany. It brought together bottom-up experts and IAM modellers and made use of synergies between the ADVANCE project and the Renewable Initiative initiated by NREL.

Important topics covered include the state-of-the-art of VRE modelling in IAMs, insights from data-focused and technology rich bottom-up approaches, and requirements from the perspectives of stakeholders and decision makers.

Presentations:

• Doug Arent – NREL: Welcome and short introduction: RE Working Group: Improving the Representation of Renewable Energy Technologies in IAMs for Climate Scenario Analysis
• Gunnar Luderer – PIK: Renewables in Integrated Assessment Scenarios: Lessons Learned and Plans for ADVANCE
• Falko Ueckerdt – PIK: System integration – a bottom-up taxonomy
