Abstract

All over the world energy systems are faced with the integration of electricity generated by highly fluctuating decentralized renewable energy sources (RES). The situation in Germany is even more pronounced because of the nuclear phase-out until the end of 2022. Generally, the complexity of energy systems will continue to increase within the next years. Simulation models can help to analyze future energy systems with a high amount of electricity generated by decentralized RES and to study the satisfaction of electricity demand by different energy sources. For instance, the modeling and simulation of the aggregated feed-in of photovoltaic systems and wind energy plants in a high time resolution are very important to investigate the use of conventional power plants in the future. In order to capture fluctuations and typical characteristics of photovoltaic systems and wind energy plants for a region such as the German federal state Bavaria, we developed a hybrid simulation approach using Discrete-Event and System Dynamics techniques. In this paper we describe the modeling and simulation of time series for the aggregated feed-in of photovoltaic systems and wind energy plants in detail. Furthermore, we present simulation results about the covering of electricity demand for different seasons in a weekly and hourly resolution.
