Verso un sistema energetico nazionale basato sulle fonti rinnovabili - seconda parte

This paper, hereafter referred to as Scetur2, is the second part of a study aimed at analyzing, through simulations with hourly detail and extended to the whole year, the behavior of a future national (Italian) electricity system powered exclusively by renewable energy sources. It follows on from the first part, which was propaedeutic and didactic in approach, published in 2023 and hereafter referred to as Scetur1. The main objective of Scetur2 is to assess how the expected change in demand, achieved through the redistribution of loads over time and the targeted reduction of consumption, facilitates the satisfaction of electricity demand in each of the 8,760 hours of the year. The results of some scenario simulations related to hypothetical configurations of the Italian power system in the long term, i.e. planned for 2050 and beyond, powered exclusively by renewable energy sources, are presented.
