A clean energy Korea by 2035: Transitioning to 80% carbon-free electricity generation by Won Young Park, Yong Hyun Song, Nikit Abhyankar, Hee Seung Moon, Umed Paliwal, Eunsung Kim, Nina Khanna, Sanghyun Hong, James Hyungkwan Kim, Kenji Shiraishi, Jiang Lin, Seung Wan Kim, Amol Phadke

“…We analyze economic decarbonization pathways for Korea’s electric power sector by 2035, leveraging optimal capacity expansion and hourly dispatch modeling to assess the opportunities and constraints in the power systems and reflecting expected rapid declines in the costs of solar, wind, and battery storage technologies. We also introduce offshore high-voltage direct current transmission lines as a strategic network planning option to address the significant discrepancies between major load centers and high-potential renewable energy regions. …”

An Overview of Solar Orbiter Observations of Interplanetary Shocks in Solar Cycle 25 by Domenico Trotta, Andrew Dimmock, Heli Hietala, Xochitl Blanco-Cano, Timothy S. Horbury, Rami Vainio, Nina Dresing, Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Francisco Espinosa Lara, Raúl Gómez-Herrero, Javier Rodriguez-Pacheco, Yulia Kartavykh, David Lario, Jan Gieseler, Miho Janvier, Milan Maksimovic, Nasrin Talebpour Sheshvan, Christopher J. Owen, Emilia K. J. Kilpua, Robert F. Wimmer-Schweingruber

“…We characterize energetic particle responses to the passage of IP shocks at different energies, often revealing complex features arising from the interaction between IP shocks and preexisting fluctuations, including solar wind structures being processed upon shock crossing. …”
