EU Electricity Generation to 2050 4
Wind Energy • Onshore - commercial, community, micro • Offshore - commercial 5
EU Wind Energy at the end of 2013 • Now 117.3 GW of installed wind energy capacity in the EU: 110.7 GW onshore and 6.6 GW offshore. • 11,159 MW of capacity (worth between €13 bn and €18 bn) was installed in the EU-28 during 2013, a decrease of 8% compared to 2012 installations. • EU power sector continues to move away from fuel oil and coal, with each technology continuing to decommission more than it installs. • Wind power capacity installed by the end of 2013 would, in a normal wind year, produce 257 TWh of electricity, enough to cover 8% of EU consumption – up from 7% at end 2012. 6
Future EU Wind Energy • By 2020, EU wind power capacity of 230 GW, 190 GW onshore and 40 GW offshore. • By 2030 , EU wind power capacity of 400 GW, 250 GW onshore and 150 GW offshore. • Total output of 581 TWh (15.7%) by 2020, 1153.7 TWh (28.5%) by 2030 of consumption. • Wind sector jobs up from 190,000 to 462,000 by 2020 and 480,000 by 2030. 7
Solar Power • Domestic • Commercial • Concentrating Solar Power • New build • Retrofit 8
Electricity Storage • Batteries • Electric vehicles • Hydrogen • Supercapacitors • Pumped hydro • Geological storage (e.g. compressed air) • Flywheels • Liquid air 9
‘BONUS WORLD ’ - TRANSPORT “Yes these ex-car batteries should be fine, no service record but never had any problem...” “No need for guarantees... I just need 20 units for the home system”
Distributed Generation • Solar • Wind • Fuel Cells • Combined Heat and Power 11
‘DEEP GREEN’ – ENERGY SYSTEMS Local bio-gas with bio-mass landscapes livestock with community power management generation Integrated Autonomous housing industrial ecology with micro- systems generation
Grid Technologies • Accurate and coordinated systems • Power electronic advances • Smart meters • Smart controllers • Infrastructure 13
Exercise 2 • Consider Peter’s presentation and discussions • Agree a potential energy sector structure (e.g. mix of generation, energy storage….etc.) and key energy technologies in your scenario • Agree the key technology changes for now and the associated operational issues • Record on feedback form 14
