Recent environmental policies have led many academic, industrial and\ngovernmental stakeholders to design and plan scenarios with very high share of\nrenewable energy sources (RES). New system elements such as High-voltage Direct\nCurrent (HVDC) transmission, Microgrids, Virtual Power Plants (VPP) and Dynamic\nVirtual Power Plants (DVPP) are being increasingly studied with respect to\ntheir contribution to integrate future RES plants in the main grid. Several\nfuture scenarios are being analysed for each system and region, to ensure that\nthe future energy systems, composed mostly of RES, can remain stable, match the\ndemand during the seasonal variations across the year and are economically\nfeasible. In this article, different types of energy scenarios are considered\nto obtain a range of options in terms of size, renewable generation\ntechnologies, and electrical network configuration. The scenarios were studied\nin the context of the POSYTYF project and were quantified through an\noptimization-based algorithm, using specific locations in Europe, and real data\nrelated to the availability of different RES, as well as the demand. It has\nbeen shown that photovoltaic (PV) and wind generation can provide the renewable\nbackbone but they lack the flexibility needed to achieve a very high share in\nthe energy mix. Other technologies, such as solar thermal and pumped hydro,\nbecome important to cover the last range of integration, as they provide a high\nflexibility, which is crucial for high share.\n
