Abstract

The paper presents the results of technology option research on the paths towards the carbon free electricity generation. To that end three different technology mixes are considered. Each mix comprises i-RES and nuclear thermal power plants technologies, plus a combination of existing and advanced hard coal and lignite fired technologies with and without CCS. In order to enable quantitative measurements of the considered technology mixes, 3E Indicator is introduced. The principal application of the Indicator is described by appropriate model calculations for the general European conditions. The results show that the introduced 3E Indicator is suitable for analysis of the technological combinations for electricity generation within considered country. The analysis is exemplified by the estimation of 3E indicator for the installed capacities and electricity generated in the group of five European countries. The results show that the country with the highest participation of NPPs and/or HPPs and low participation of i-RES in electricity generation has the best i. e. the lowest value of 3E Indicator. On the other hand the country with the highest participation of i-RES and low to moderate participation of NPPs and/or HPPs has the conceivably highest value of 3E Indicator.
