AbstractSwedish government’s target is to have 100% renewable electricity production by 2040. Currently, hydropower contributes the majority of renewable electricity generation of the country. The wind power capacity has increased significantly in the past decade. In this paper, practical data is used to study the possibility of reaching the 100% renewable electricity generation goal by replacing existing thermal generations with wind power generations. It is found that the Swedish electricity generation system can reach 100% renewable by tripling the existing wind power capacity combined with the existing hydropower in the country. Based on current growth rate of wind power installation, the goal could be reached within 20 years. Hourly simulation shows that 100% renewable energy generation system composed by wind power and hydropower satisfy hourly operation requirements.
