在本世纪后半叶，欧洲的能源结构很可能完全脱碳。生产无碳电力有两种主要选择：要么只依赖可再生能源，要么将可再生能源与新一代核电站（如聚变电站）相结合。在前一种情况下，需要大的存储容量和/或可调度发电来补偿可变发电。如果基本负荷无碳发电技术（如核聚变）可用，则可以减少必要的存储系统和可调度发电厂的规模。本文件与CO.ME.S.E.一起分析了这些备选方案。（COsto MEdio del Sistema Elettrico -电力系统平均成本）代码，通过简化的调度模型和系统成本，通过随机经济分析评估负荷和发电之间的小时平衡。在典型的北欧和南欧情况下，考虑了两组发电情景。该研究提供了关键指标，使聚变成为未来欧洲脱碳电力组合的成本效益成分。
In the second half of this century, the European energy mix will be very likely completely decarbonized. Two main options are available to generate carbon free electricity: either to rely on renewable energy sources only, or to integrate renewables with a new generation of nuclear power plant, e.g. fusion power plant. In the former case a large storage capacity and/or dispatchable generation are required to compensate for the variable electricity generation. The size of the necessary storage systems and dispatchable power plants can be reduced if a base-load carbon free power technology is available, such as fusion. These options are analysed in this paper with the CO.ME.S.E. (COsto MEdio del Sistema Elettrico - Electric System Average Cost) code that assesses the hourly balance between load and generation, through a simplified dispatch model and the system costs, through a stochastic economic analysis. Two sets of power generation scenarios are considered in typical North and South-Europe cases. The study gives key indications to make fusion a cost-effective ingredient of a future European decarbonized power mix.
