To analyze worldwide influences of large-scale integration of solar and wind power into the electricity generation system and to evaluate required structural adaptations, a global multi-regional electricity system optimization model has been developed in this thesis, employing the linear programming optimization method. The modeling approach, as a combination of an adequately precise geographical coverage with a high temporal resolution taking into account technical restrictions of power plants at a technology-aggregated level, allows a detailed analysis of the utilization of fluctuating renewable energy sources in a prospective global electricity generation system. The model is then applied to investigate optimal configuration of a future, renewable-based electricity supply system of the world under different framework conditions.
