Energy Transition in highly rich Coal-based Energy System

Energy transition of an entirely coal-powered energy system presents a challenge that can be solved by considering the sector coupling, integration of variable renewable energy sources, better use of current technologies and implementation of energy efficiency measures. Kosovo energy system model is modelled sustainably and appropriate energy transition pathways have been defined for meeting the national energy policies by 2030. Five different scenarios that took into account the increase of renewable power generation technologies, developing projects regarding the penetration of new technologies, flexibility operation of coal-based thermal power plants and sector coupling options for a suitable primary energy mix by 2030 in a coal-based energy system are analysed and discussed in this research. The results obtained have shown which energy transition pathway, which is defined for different primary energy mix by 2030, is more efficient concerning the economic and environmental indicators in a coal-based energy system.
