Abstract: Traditionally, energy systems modeling has relied on a single ‘representative’ meteorological year as basis for modeling of future energy systems. However, with growing shares of weather-dependent electricity generation, accounting for inter-annual variability has become increasingly important. This study applies a three-step modeling framework to examine how inter-annual weather variations affect investment and operation of electricity generation and storage technologies, with a particular focus on the interplay between batteries and flexible generation, as well as associated revenue streams in a future electricity system.
