Making a all-around alteration to a 100% renewable electricity filigree has continued been a dream of many, but new analysis appear this anniversary by the Lappeenranta University of Technology has accurate it is no best aloof a dream but a applicable absoluteness — a absoluteness that is added cost-effective than the accepted deposit fuel-reliant system.
Presented on Wednesday during the Global Renewable Activity Solutions Showcase accident (GRESS) on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP23 in Bonn, Germany, the new abstraction — Global Activity Arrangement based on 100% Renewable Activity – Ability Area — was conducted by the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the Activity Watch Group (EWG).
Many ability already be acquainted of the assignment actuality done by LUT, investigating the abeyant of 100% renewable electricity grids based on its own clay assignment — clay which “computes the cost-optimal mix of technologies based on locally accessible renewable activity sources for the apple structured in 145 regions and calculates the best cost-effective activity alteration alleyway for electricity accumulation on an alternate resolution for an absolute advertence year.”

The University has already appear after-effects which highlight the abeyant case for a 100% Russia & Central Asia by 2030; a 100% South America by 2030; a 100% Iran & Middle East by 2030; India by 2050; and its better accomplishment, a acknowledged archetypal of a 100% renewable activity all-embracing system.
The new study, however, makes the case that 100% renewable electricity is not aloof a abroad possibility, but a abeyant current-day absoluteness — accustomed the appropriate political conditions.
The technologies already exist, according to the authors of the abstraction who affirmation that absolute renewable activity abeyant and technologies (including storage) can already accomplish acceptable and defended ability to awning the absolute all-around electricity appeal by 2050. This would aftereffect in a levelized amount of electricity (LCOE) on a all-around boilerplate for 100% renewable electricity in 2050 of €52($60)/MWh (including curtailment, accumulator and some filigree costs), compared to €70($81)/MWh in 2015. A alteration forth these curve would abate greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity area bottomward to aught as able-bodied as acutely abate absolute losses in ability generation. Finally, the alteration would aftereffect in 36 actor jobs by 2050 — 17 actor added than today.
“A abounding decarbonization of the electricity arrangement by 2050 is accessible for lower arrangement amount than today based on accessible technology,” explained Christian Breyer, advance columnist of the study, LUT Professor of Solar Economy and Chairman of the EWG Scientific Board. “Energy alteration is no best a catechism of abstruse achievability or bread-and-butter viability, but of political will.”

The alteration would be apprenticed by solar PV and array storage, with solar PV accounting for 69% of the absolute 2050 activity mix followed by wind with 18%, hydropower with 8%, and bioenergy with 2%.
Electricity bearing from renewables in 2015 and 2050. In 2050, nuclear ability still accounts for negligible 0.3% of the absolute electricity generation, due to the end of its affected abstruse life, but could be phased out earlier
The abstracts attending a little altered by 2030, with wind accounting for 32% of the all-around activity mix, but post-2030 LUT expects solar to become added aggressive and booty up the slack, accretion its allotment from 37% in 2030 to about 69% in 2050.

”There is no acumen to advance one added Dollar in deposit or nuclear ability production,” added EWG President Hans-Josef Fell. “Renewable activity provides cost-effective ability supply. All affairs for a added amplification of coal, nuclear, gas and oil accept to be ceased. Added investments charge to be channeled in renewable energies and the all-important basement for accumulator and grids. Everything abroad will advance to accidental costs and accretion all-around warming.”
