Spatially explicit Electrification Modelling Insights: Applications, benefits, limitations and an open tool for geospatial electrification modelling
KTH dESA would like to warmly congratulate for his successful PhD dissertation defense on June 8th. The thesis presents quantitative methods on coupling selected aspects of GIS and energy systems, striving to answer three key research questions:
- What is the spatially explicit renewable energy potential that can be technically and economically exploited?
- What is the least cost set of technologies needed to meet different levels of electricity use accounting for different geographies?
- Are there gains to be had by linking geographically explicit analysis with typical (non-spatial) long term energy system models?
