Europe has set ambitious offshore wind energy targets, aiming for nearly 500 GW of capacity by 2050, with current installations at approximately 35 GW in 2024. Most wind farms are thus yet to be developed and countries with high energy demands but limited maritime space, may be forced to overexploit their domestic wind potential. Currently, some European wind farms exhibit peak power capacity...
The transition towards the decarbonization of energy systems means a significant shift towards electrification, which concurrently leads to increasing electricity demands and higher grid loads. On the other hand, in urban energy systems large installed capacities of PV systems on rooftops can lead to grid congestion during peak generation times, when generation exceeds local demand...
