1.2 Core objectives<br />

Basis <strong>for</strong> the above-mentioned assessment <strong>of</strong> the topic <strong>energy</strong> storage <strong>for</strong> Electricity<br />

Autarky 2050 in Austria are the following objectives <strong>an</strong>d questions:<br />

<strong>The</strong> objectives to obtain adequate results <strong>of</strong> this Master <strong>The</strong>sis are to …<br />

… calculate storage dem<strong>an</strong>d on daily, monthly <strong>an</strong>d yearly level, taking into account<br />

the typical <strong>supply</strong> curve <strong>of</strong> solar <strong>electricity</strong>.<br />

… <strong>an</strong>alyse additional dem<strong>an</strong>d <strong>for</strong> hydro <strong>an</strong>d other <strong>storages</strong>.<br />

Following scientific questions constitute the framework <strong>for</strong> the Master <strong>The</strong>sis:<br />

Core question<br />

• Which storage capacity is needed <strong>for</strong> different scenarios to reach Electricity<br />

Autarky 2050 in Austria?<br />

Questions <strong>of</strong> second order<br />

• What are current storage technologies <strong>for</strong> <strong>electricity</strong> <strong>an</strong>d what is their status <strong>of</strong><br />

maturity?<br />

• How much storage-capacity is needed, when the <strong>supply</strong> curve ch<strong>an</strong>ges due to<br />

solar irradiation, to enable different Electricity Autarky scenarios in Austria in<br />

2050?<br />

• How much storage capacity c<strong>an</strong> be gained through upgrading <strong>of</strong> existing<br />

<strong>electricity</strong> storage pl<strong>an</strong>ts?<br />

• How much <strong>electricity</strong> storage capacity has to be constructed additionally?<br />

• How does the <strong>electricity</strong> dem<strong>an</strong>d from storage pl<strong>an</strong>ts ch<strong>an</strong>ge during the course <strong>of</strong><br />
