20.500.12556/RUL-163899 The illusion of a green transition in Slovenia by 2050 Iluzija zelenega prehoda v Sloveniji do leta 2050 This study analyzes the possibilities of phasing out fossil and nuclear energy sources for Slovenia by 2050. Alternative carbon-free sources include renewable energy sources (RES) i.e. electricity, synthetic fuels and hydrogen from water electrolysis. The model is based on the use of currently mature low-carbon technologies and is adapted to Slovenia’s natural conditions. Photovoltaic panels (PV) and hydropower plants are used for the majority of renewable electricity generation. To bridge the winter period with minimal PV production, storage with a pumped storage power plant is planned. One of the assumptions of the national climate strategy has been incorporated into the model, which envisages zero growth in final energy consumption by 2050. The result of the paper is an assessment of what some of the basic characteristics of the Slovenian energy system would look like after the phase-out of fossil and nuclear energy sources. The estimated storage capacity required is 5.1 MWh/capita. Abandoning fossil fuels with the currently mature RES technologies is not realistically feasible for technical and economic reasons. phasing out fossil energy sources phasing out nuclear energy sources renewable energy sources photovoltaic modules pumped hydro storage green transition zeleni prehod opustitev jedrske energije opustitev fosilnih goriv obnovljivi viri energije fotonapetostni sistemi črpalno akumulacijske hidroelektrarne energijska samozadostnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-10-14 08:54:42 2024-10-14 08:54:45 2024-10-16 03:23:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 405-416 no. 9/10 Vol. 70 Sept.-Oct. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 502/504 0039-2480 10.5545/sv-jme.2024.1007 211332099 The_Illusion_of_a_Green_Transition_in_Slovenia_by_2050.pdf The_Illusion_of_a_Green_Transition_in_Slovenia_by_2050.pdf 1 EEDBC9B45049C7C8A1E12F5758CB4418 47549fa82d606e6f9962c7de918d5db1445f1aeecee56cb2b487727a1af3f0c0 482da411-89f9-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193865 https://www.sv-jme.eu/sl/article/the-illusion-of-a-green-transition-in-slovenia-until-2050/ 1 fac2bb08-89f8-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193863 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
