The SET-Nav project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691843 (SET-Nav).
SET-Nav Case Studies
DECENTRALIZED VS. CENTRALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE
ELECTRICITY SECTOR – IMPACT ON THE TRANSMISSION GRID
UNLOCKING UNUSED FLEXIBILITY AND SYNERGY IN ELECTRIC POWER
AND GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Scenarios for the global fossil fuel markets Capture the interdependence between European low-carbon policy and global fossil fuel prices and renewable energy markets as well as technological progress
Energy in buildings and the role for RES market integrationHow does energy efficiency improvement in buildings, heating system choice, flexibility options (demand response) and on-site RES affect market integration of RES and CHP?
Innovative technologies to decarbonize industrial process heatWhat is the contribution of RES, energy efficiency and CCS technologies in decarbonizing the industrial process heat sector?
Ways to a cleaner and smarter transport sector Which measures can accelerate the transition of the transport sector from a fossil fuel based towards an energy efficient and low-carbon system ?
Decentralized vs. centralized development of the transmission gridWhat are the main grid architectures that should be considered? Impacts of solar and wind?
Projects of Common Interest (PCI) and gas producers pricing strategy What are the gas infrastructure projects that should be prioritized? How vulnerable will Europe be to the suppliers’ pricing strategy?
Role for Carbon Capture and Storage in the Future Energy MixWhat will be Europe’s CCS infrastructure needs? What is the impact of CCS on total system costs?
Diffusion rate of renewable electricity generation Capability of the system to accommodate RES volatile generation by coupling energy carriers and other innovation measures in the system
Unlocking flexibility and synergy in electric power and gas systems Integrate electricity and natural gas supply flexibility options to deal with high levels of predictable short-term load variability and uncertain variability in supply and demand
Perspectives for nuclear power – a closer look at cost developments Conduct a comprehensive technology assessment of nuclear power with a focus on cost estimates and future developments
Macroeconomic impacts of sustainable energy sector innovation Interaction and feedback loops between the broader economy and the energy sector will provide boundary conditions for what can be achieved and how to achieve it

SET-Nav Models Capabilities
Enhancing modelling capacities
Rooftop PV in the decentralized scenario Offshore wind in the centralized scenario
Insights about the interaction between electricity infrastructure needs and thegeneral policy adopted for wind and solar deployment
The decentralized case study imposes a ca. 25% share of demand to be served withdecentralized renewables (rooftop PV)
The centralized case imposes that more than ca. 530 TWh of energy demand are metwith offshore wind
The results provides a list of PCI projects that arise from these scenarios

Pillar
Stakeholder dialogue &
dissemination
Usage of existing assets for supply side flexibility, such as pumped hydropower and
transmission for electricity, and line pack in natural gas pipelines.
Investments in new types of balancing services such as energy storage (reservoirs, utility
grade batteries, demand response, etc.)
Contribution of gas supply flexibility options from the Norwegian offshore pipelines
Substitution effects between electricity, gas and heat in light of flexibility provision
Assess the system security & reliability indices for electricity-gas operations
Preliminary Results Decentralized case has a higher system cost
Renewables are more expensive Requires more flexibility in the system
Both scenarios require a strong expansion ofthe transmission grid Stronger expansion for centralized case
It is crucial to take transmission needs intoaccount when planning the energy system,as they can have a considerable effects
The case study leverages on the use of two different models: Enertile and TEPES
