Abstract

In Germany, and in particular in Bavaria, the energy transition towards a more sustainable energy system is an important issue. The nuclear phase-out until 2023 is enacted and the extension of renewable energy sources takes place faster than expected. Optimization models can help to find the optimal extension path for renewable and conventional energy sources from an investment cost perspective. In addition, simulation models can be used to analyze how the electricity demand could be covered by different energy sources in a higher time resolution. In this paper we describe our optimization and simulation framework for the energy transition in Bavaria to perform an energy system analysis. Additionally, we present a coupled approach to analyze the annual energy balances for an optimal extension path.
