Achieving the headline goal of the Paris Agreement requires a rapid decarbonisation of the energy system, which can be achieved by electrified systems with high shares of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy. In such systems, weather and climate have a crucial influence on energy supply and demand, from solar and wind generation to heating and cooling demands. Furthermore, anthropogenic climate change is expected to have complex impacts on future weather-dependent energy systems.
At this seminar, we will share our research on designing weather and climate resilient future energy systems as part of SPATUS and the Departments of Mathematics and Technology Systems.
Speakers
Marianne Zeyringer is an Associate Professor in Renewable Energy Systems at the Department of Technology System. She leads the Energy Systems Modelling Group where they are developing models to support the transition to net-zero, renewable based energy systems. Their focus is on designing systems that are weather and climate resilient as well as socially just and desired. Marianne is the PI of the recently granted UiO:Energy Convergence Environment EMPOWER and part of SPATUS. She
