How does storage affect the national power generation system?
To assess the impact of storage on the national power generation system, 3 indicators were identified: the share of renewables in electricity production [%]; the direct CO2 equivalent emissions from the power generation sector [Mton CO2e]; and the day-ahead market electricity generation cost [M€].
What is the EnergyPLAN model for Portugal in ?
Results of the ENERGYPLAN model for Portugal in in the SP scenario. The emissions for all scenarios are close to zero (well below the target of target 4.3Mton), as the natural gas-fired plant is only used for a very few hours of the year. The cost of the system is, at worst, lower than . 6.
What is the reservoir capacity of Portugal?
The total reservoir capacity is equal to 13,290 hm 3 and the biggest reservoir capacities can be found for Guadiana and Tagus, which are rivers with their origin in Spain .
