In order to address significant share of intermittency in the generation mix, a dynamic reliability constraint on kinetic energy was endogenized in the technical optimum TIMES model. Dedicated to La Réunion island: (i) The potential contribution of electrochemical storage technology, especially NaS, to the power dynamics and the reliability has been demonstrated; and (ii) A high share of variable renewable plants (around 50%) can be considered without jeopardize power transmission, provided appropriate investments in storage are made.
