Other RE sources
Renewable energy (RE)
• Renewable energy is generally defined as energy
that comes from resources which are naturally
replenished on a human timescale
• Renewable energy flows involve natural
phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant
growth and geothermal heat
Source: IEA
4
The main RE technologies
• Hydropower – traditional source of energy, plants
vary from huge dams to mini turbines
• Wind energy – globally growing share,
technologies already competing in cost with fossil
fuels
• Solar – the fastest growing technology
(photovoltaics), very fast decreasing cost
• Biomass – traditional fuel and new technological
approaches 5

RE is used in
• Electricity generation
• Space heating/cooling, hot water preparation
• Motor fuels
• Off-grid services
• Water desalination
• …
10
Generations of biofuels
• First generation biofuels are produced directly from food crops
by abstracting the oils for use in biodiesel or producing
bioethanol through fermentation
• Second generation biofuels are produced from non-food crops
such as wood, organic waste, food crop waste and specific
biomass crops
• Third Generation of biofuels is based on improvements in the
production of biomass. It takes advantage of specially
engineered energy crops such as algae as its energy source
• Fourth generation biofuels are aimed at not only producing
sustainable energy but also a way of capturing and storing CO2 11
RES support approaches
• Direct product price support
 Flat rate price support for all renewable energy product
 Differentiated rate price support for each renewable energy product
 From fiscal budget of the government
 From dedicated budget collected from energy consumers
 Operational tax allowance (tax rebate, profit tax allowance)
• Investment support
 Direct investment grant from fiscal budget (repayable, non-repayable)
 Preferential credit program (low-interest rate support, credit guarantee)
 Investment tax allowances (VAT allowance for households, preferential
depreciation for businesses)
• Obligatory purchase of renewable energy products
 uniform purchase obligation for all renewable energy products
 purchase obligation for limited amounts of various renewable energy
products
 purchase rate requirement (quota obligation)
• Regulatory support for voluntary consumers of renewable energy
 tax allowances for consumers based on their voluntary consumption
 authorities providing guarantees of origin,
 obligatory disclosure of environmental information by energy products
12
Main issues: RES support
• How to select a good support mechanism
• How to properly define parameters of the support
model
• Can we harmonise (at least, regionally) the RES
support mechanisms
• How to allocate properly the support burden
• How to set targets and reach them
13
Main issues: RES integration
• How to integrate RES into competitive electricity
market
• How to deal with intermittency
• How to connect RES to the networks
• How to overcome administrative and bureaucratic
barriers

Renewable Energy basic definitions and core challenges

  • 1. Renewable Energy Training Week Setting the scene: basic definitions and core challenges by Vidmantas Jankauskas, course moderator
  • 2. Solar energy potential(TW) Sun Thermal energy Transformed thermal energy Kinetic energy Photosynthesis To the space 80000 40000 300 30 Solar heat Hydro energy Energy of wind and waves biofuel
  • 3. Geothermal Thermal energy30 TW Geothermal boilers and power plants Earth’s internal heat Variations in gravitational attraction exerted by celestial bodies Energy of Earth’s rotation Tides Tidal power plants 3 TW Other RE sources
  • 4. Renewable energy (RE) • Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale • Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth and geothermal heat Source: IEA 4
  • 5. The main RE technologies • Hydropower – traditional source of energy, plants vary from huge dams to mini turbines • Wind energy – globally growing share, technologies already competing in cost with fossil fuels • Solar – the fastest growing technology (photovoltaics), very fast decreasing cost • Biomass – traditional fuel and new technological approaches 5
  • 6. Average levelised cost for plants entering service in 2019 Plant type USD/MWh Conventional gas, CC 66.3 Wind 80.3 Hydro 84.5 Gas with CCS 91.3 Conventional coal 95.6 Advanced nuclear 96.1 Solar PV 130 Coal with CCS 147 6 Source: EIA

  • 10. RE is used in • Electricity generation • Space heating/cooling, hot water preparation • Motor fuels • Off-grid services • Water desalination • … 10
  • 11. Generations of biofuels • First generation biofuels are produced directly from food crops by abstracting the oils for use in biodiesel or producing bioethanol through fermentation • Second generation biofuels are produced from non-food crops such as wood, organic waste, food crop waste and specific biomass crops • Third Generation of biofuels is based on improvements in the production of biomass. It takes advantage of specially engineered energy crops such as algae as its energy source • Fourth generation biofuels are aimed at not only producing sustainable energy but also a way of capturing and storing CO2 11
  • 12. RES support approaches • Direct product price support  Flat rate price support for all renewable energy product  Differentiated rate price support for each renewable energy product  From fiscal budget of the government  From dedicated budget collected from energy consumers  Operational tax allowance (tax rebate, profit tax allowance) • Investment support  Direct investment grant from fiscal budget (repayable, non-repayable)  Preferential credit program (low-interest rate support, credit guarantee)  Investment tax allowances (VAT allowance for households, preferential depreciation for businesses) • Obligatory purchase of renewable energy products  uniform purchase obligation for all renewable energy products  purchase obligation for limited amounts of various renewable energy products  purchase rate requirement (quota obligation) • Regulatory support for voluntary consumers of renewable energy  tax allowances for consumers based on their voluntary consumption  authorities providing guarantees of origin,  obligatory disclosure of environmental information by energy products 12
  • 13. Main issues: RES support • How to select a good support mechanism • How to properly define parameters of the support model • Can we harmonise (at least, regionally) the RES support mechanisms • How to allocate properly the support burden • How to set targets and reach them 13
  • 14. Main issues: RES integration • How to integrate RES into competitive electricity market • How to deal with intermittency • How to connect RES to the networks • How to overcome administrative and bureaucratic barriers 14
