Hence, the operation of the power generation sector is constrained by the availability of the water resources, as well as the addition of constrains on water resources used for other purposes, such as irrigation, flood control, water supply, agriculture, etc. The optimal utilization of water resources between the water and energy sector is defined under the term water-energy (or water-power) nexus. This study describes the implementation of hydrological LISFLOOD, Medium-Term Hydrothermal Coordination (DispaSET-MTHC) and Unit Commitment and Dispatch (DispaSET UCD) models for detailed analysis of impacts on the SEE regional power system for three different hydrological years. Results were validated based on the available ENTSO-E data for the average hydrological (2015) year. Moreover, calculations on water withdrawal and consumption for cooling of thermal power plants were added. Addition of water stress index (WSI) calculations can determine locations that could experience water scarcity.
The analysis covered EU Member states in Balkans and Western Balkan countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo , Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. ETRI2017 Techno-economics for smaller heating and cooling technologies2018-12-14T09:40:58Z2018-12-20T10:34:40ZThis study provides data and projections for smaller heating and cooling technologies for the residential and tertiary sectors including an outlook until 2050. It covers key parameters needed for technical and economic assessments of the energy technologies and for systemic modelling activities, e.g. conversion efficiency, capital and operating costs; also touching upon the needs for environmental assessments (e.g. emissions of pollutants). The technologies covered are various types of boilers, heat pumps, CHP, solar heating, electric heating and heat storage. It complements a study on large-scale heating and cooling technologies in the EU. ETRI2017 Techno-economics for larger heating and cooling technologies2018-12-14T09:40:58Z2018-12-20T10:34:40ZThis study provides data and projections for large-scale District Heating (DH) technologies including an outlook till 2050 and regional differences. It covers key parameters needed for technical and economic assessments of the energy technologies and for systemic modelling activities, e.g. efficiency, financial data (CAPEX, OPEX), emissions of pollutants (CO2, SO2, NOX, particles etc). Examples of technologies covered are boilers, electric resistance heating, geothermal, solar thermal, heat pumps, CHP, and fuel cells. It complements a study on smaller heating and cooling technologies.
