The study by Inès Harang, Fabian Heymann, and Laurens P. Stoop delves into how climate change affects the balance between electricity supply and demand in Europe. By analyzing temperature variations' impact on demand and changes in water inflows affecting hydro generation, the study emphasizes the need to incorporate climate change effects into power system adequacy assessments.
Key findings include a potential decrease of over 50% in Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) hours due to decreased demand from higher winter temperatures. The study also reveals that while climate change may reduce LOLE values due to lower demand, it can increase them through its effects on hydrological conditions.
Moreover, the research highlights challenges in accurately modeling climate change impacts on power system adequacy due to limited open-source data availability. It underscores the relevance of post-processing methods for incorporating climate change effects into large electricity market models without extensive climate datasets.
