2017
Book Chapters

Résumé

Long-distance renewables integration projects emerge as feasible option for the decarbonization of the electricity sector and efficient use of resources. The paper provides an overview of the large-scale cross-border projects being implemented in the electricity sector, which among their objectives aim at integrating renewable energy sources. It reviews the role of multilateral regimes in the development of cross-border transmission links, outlines the challenges, and makes policy recommendations for regulatory developments in the international system.

Variable renewable energy

Variable renewable energy (VRE) or intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) are renewable energy sources that are not dispatchable due to their fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power, as opposed to controllable renewable energy sources, such as dammed hydroelectricity or biomass, or relatively constant sources, such as geothermal power. The use of small amounts of intermittent power has little effect on grid operations. Using larger amounts of intermittent power may require upgrades or even a redesign of the grid infrastructure.

100% renewable energy

100% renewable energy means getting all energy from renewable resources. The endeavor to use 100% renewable energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transport is motivated by climate change, pollution and other environmental issues, as well as economic and energy security concerns. Shifting the total global primary energy supply to renewable sources requires a transition of the energy system, since most of today's energy is derived from non-renewable fossil fuels.

Transition énergétique

La transition énergétique désigne à la fois l'évolution passée de la répartition des énergies consommées sur la planète (bois, hydroélectricité, charbon, pétrole, gaz naturel, nucléaire, etc.) et, pour l'avenir, l'objectif politique et technique d'une modification structurelle profonde des modes de production et de consommation de l'énergie. C'est l'un des volets de la transition écologique.
