SUPERSMART GRID

Established in 2007, the SuperSmart Grid Team has experienced incremental evolution in its scope and area of interest. From the very beginning we have focused our work on two broad and closely interconnected questions: whether actors in Europe seek to achieve 100% renewables (possibly in cooperation with North Africa) (energy acceptance block) and how, Europe, alone or in cooperation with others, can achieve the infrastructure necessary to generate and integrate 100% renewables (policy block)... We study the main linear and nonlinear feedbacks and alternative stable attractors in the mid- and long-term coevolution of natural and socio-economic subsystems of the Earth system like the great acceleration, great transformations, phase transitions between metabolic states, or societal collapses), natural and socio-economic planetary boundaries, and sustainable management pathways staying within these boundaries. We apply a multi-level and diversified approach combining conceptual models of..
