Bridging scales for integrated high-resolution modeling of the long-term transition to sector-coupled net-zero energy systems

The rapid growth of solar and wind power, as well as demand electrification technologies, increasingly underscores that successful climate change mitigation strategies will heavily rely on sector-coupled energy systems, in which renewables-dominated electricity is used for previously non-electric end-uses and fuels. Under such sector-coupling, the integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) and demand-side electrification are highly synergistic; cheap VRE makes electrification attractive, while flexibilization of vehicle charging or heat generation reduces reliance on more expensive VRE integration options. Energy modeling tools that inform both policy and the private sector either focus…
