ESRIG Scientists Publish in Nature Energy
Researchers from the University of Groningen and KNMI, including ESRIG members Lieke van der Most, René Benders, Winnie Gerbens-Leenes and Richard Bintanja, have gained insight into the influence of weather on electricity production in five European countries.
With more renewable energy in Europe, our electricity system is becoming more sensitive to weather and climate. Wind and solar power, as well as hydropower, depend on weather. A study on this is published today in the journal Nature Energy. The study identifies which combination of weather conditions increases the risk of a so-called energy drought.
