The study “Powering the Future of the Western Balkans with Renewables” is accompanied by two slide decks containing detailed country-level and regional-level modelling results. Making Western Balkans’ power systems CO₂ free by 2045 is possible and would save money.
Making Western Balkans’ power systems CO₂ free by 2045 is possible and would save money. Producing electricity from renewable energy sources and green hydrogen will cost 15 percent less up to 2045 than relying on lignite or gas.
The case of Western Balkans - ScienceDirect Economics of electric energy storage. The case of Western Balkans State of the art of technology and application of pumped hydro and battery storage systems. Overview of the installed electricity storage capacities in Western Balkans.
Paris Agreement has influenced a higher generation of renewable systems that impact energy balancing costs and question future energy supply stability. Energy storage could be the key component for efficient power systems transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.
If the Western Balkan countries invest in hydrogen-ready infrastructure and storage technologies instead, they can reduce cumulative fossil gas demand by 50 percent up to 2045 while cutting overall costs by 12 percent compared to a strategy that bets on fossil gas to replace aging lignite.
... In a case study made by Topalovic et al. to evaluate the economics of different energy storage in Western Balkans, authors found that pumped hydro storage systems is the most cost competitive ESS, in addition to their role in grid flexibility, and their influence on electricity market competitiveness.
