Time reconciliation and space agregation to shed light on the plausibility of long-term low carbon pathways for power systems

Abstract

To address the abysmal lack of efficiency of the electrical system (73% of losses, 45% of worldwide CO2 emissions), an energy-efficient description of electromagnetism lying on a reversible interpretation of the Faraday's law is described. This framework appears suitable for the space-consolidation and time-reconciliation of all the scales involved in the power management of the electromagnetic energy. A simplified description of the grid based on the Kuramoto model also recently proved to be suitable for assessing the stability of the synchronous state of a power system. Combining both frameworks, a coherent approach for long-term power systems analysis is proposed here and demonstrated in the case of the French Reunion island.
