## Abstract

To achieve ambitious CO$_2$ emission reduction targets quickly, the planning of

energy systems must accommodate societal preferences, e.g.~regarding

transmission reinforcements or onshore wind parks, and must also acknowledge

uncertainties of technology cost projections. To date, however, many models lean

towards only minimising system cost and only using a single set of cost

projections. Here, we address both criticisms in unison. While taking account of

cost uncertainties, we apply multi-objective optimisation techniques to explore

trade-offs in a fully renewable European electricity system between rising

system cost and the deployment of individual technologies for generating,

storing and transporting electricity. We identify boundary conditions that must

be met for cost-efficiency that are robust to how cost developments will unfold;

for instance, we find that some grid reinforcement and long-term storage

alongside large wind capacities appear essential. We reveal that near the

cost-optimum a broad spectrum of technologically diverse options exist, which

allows policymakers to make trade-offs regarding unpopular infrastructure.
