100% ReNEWable Energy at a National Level

Smart Energy Systems

One of the key objectives with the EnergyPLAN tool is to aid in the design of 100% renewable energy systems. Since the development of EnergyPLAN began back in the year 2000, the concept of a 100% renewable energy system has evolved significantly. We define the most recent concept as a Smart Energy System, which is most recently based on the outputs of the CEESAproject.

A Smart Energy System is defined by the following key principals:

It is a 100% renewable energy systemIt consumes a sustainable level of bioenergyIt utilises the synergies in the energy system to maximise efficiency and reduce costsIt is affordable. In other words, it does not significantly increase the cost of energy compared to a fossil fuel based energy system (sometimes it can reduce the cost and maximum increases of up to 10-15% are expected)
