Should the Hungarian energy transition be based on wind and solar resources?
Wind and solar resources should receive more attention in the planning of the Hungarian energy transition. However, the expansion of these vRES needs to happen simultaneously with the restructuring of the whole system [ 27 ].
How is the Hungarian energy system derived?
The input data to the model is derived mainly from national energy balance and other freely available databases which makes the approach easy to adapt and replicate. The following conclusions and recommendations are relevant to the Hungarian energy system.
What renewable sources are used in Hungary?
Another renewable source utilized in large amounts in Hungary is biomass. The NECP proposes a significant increase in solar PV capacity but no increase in wind power capacity. Wind power capacity expansion has been blocked by the government for more than ten years, a ban that is without reasonable geographic or economic reasoning [ 8, 9 ].
How to reduce surplus electricity in Hungary?
EnergyPLAN model and simulation of the Hungarian electricity system. A suitable capacity ratio of wind power to solar PV can reduce surplus electricity. Day-charging of electric vehicles in Hungary can reduce surplus electricity.
How much energy can a German power system supply without storage?
Weitemeyer et al. [ 21] suggested that wind and solar resources in the German power system can supply up to 50% of total electricity demand without storage requirements provided that other power plants are sufficiently flexible. Energy storage devices and expansion of transmission line capacity are needed to accommodate surpluses [ 30, 32 ].
Why is electricity consumption increasing in Hungary?
In the last decade, total electricity consumption in Hungary has been increasing [ 1 ]. This is also true for several countries around the globe and this trend might be accelerated as the world transitions to low-carbon energy. Energy efficiency measures can mitigate the increase during the transition.
