9th International Conference on Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources - IRED 2022, Adelaide (Australia). 24-26 October 2022


Spanish layman's summary:

Este estudio evalúa los costes incrementales de red asociados a la integración de renovables y los compara con los beneficios obtenidos. Los resultados muestran que los costes adicionales de red son inferiores a 3€ por cada MWh renovable adicional y los costes totales del sistema se reducen hasta un 25%.


English layman's summary:

These case studies analyse the magnitude of costs for integrating high RES shares into electricity grids. Incremental grid investments account for less than 3 € per additional MWh injected into electricity grids. Total system costs (investment + operation) are reduced by up to 25%.
