James, C. (2010). Electricity scenarios for the lake city Aspern [Master Thesis, Technische Universität Wien]. reposiTUm. https://resolver.obvsg.at/urn:nbn:at:at-ubtuw:1-51810
Dynamic electricity scenarios for the Lake City Aspern were calculated for the implementation of photovoltaics, wind power and geothermal electricity. The EnergyPLAN model was used to simulate the scenarios with consideration of load profiles for electricity demand and supply. With the most ambitious demand assumptions and the highest assumed electricity production from photovoltaics and wind, the direct utilisation rate of the produced renewable electricity is 76% and 48% of the demand can be directly supplied with the produced renewable electricity. With an additional assumption of a stable geothermal electricity source, the same scenario shows a self sustainability of 70% and a renewable electricity utilization rate of 73%. Flexible demand as a measure to increase utilisation rate of the produced electricity is only effective for the most ambitious demand scenarios. It is recommended that in a next step of assessing energy models for the Lake City Aspern, the heat and transport sector are included to fully assess the options of balancing the fluctuating energy supply of photovoltaics and wind. For this assessment the EnergyPLAN model can be recommended.
