- | The hourly electricity production through solar power is calculated based on a photovoltaic system oriented toward the equator. The power output is calculated based on the solar radiation information from the respective climate data set, taking into account a tempe-rature-sensitive efficiency of the photovoltaic module. The model’s inclination is determined such that the highest possible annual energy yield is reached at the considered location. | + | The hourly electricity production through solar power is calculated based on a photovoltaic system oriented toward the equator.

The hourly electricity produced through wind energy is calculated based on a smoothed profile of hourly wind velocities. The same climate data set is used, in order to take account of local climatic correlations between wind and radiation or temperature. However, such localised wind data is rarely representative of the potential of wind energy in the surrounding region. The original wind velocity data is therefore calibrated based on long-term measured averages of the region [SSE] and extrapolated to a hub height of 150 m. The actual power output then depends on the turbine’s power curve, which is modelled with a specific power output of 380 W/m² and 200 W/m² for regions with strong and weak wind, respectively (based on [Mono et.al. 2014]). If the average wind speed at hub height is lower than 4 m/s, a significant development of wind energy in the area is unlikely for economic reasons. The contribution of wind energy to the total mix in the calculations is therefore limited to 0.5 % of the annual yield. Offshore wind energy is not considered at this stage – the calculations are slightly on the safe side in this regard. | The hourly electricity produced through wind energy is calculated based on a smoothed profile of hourly wind velocities.

It is further assumed that the seasonal storage has the required capacity to store exactly the amount of energy storage required over the course of the year (supply = demand + losses). One possibility of a working seasonal storage system is the conversion of RE electricity into methane, for which a conversion efficiency of 57 % is assumed. The re-conversion from gas into electricity in a CCTG plant is modelled with an efficiency of 50 %. Electricity consumed via the seasonal storage, therefore has an overall efficiency of only approx. 30 %. Finally, 5 % distribution losses are added for all electricity transmission via the electrical grid. | It is further assumed that the seasonal storage has the required capacity to store exactly the amount of energy storage required over the course of the year (supply = demand + losses).
