A looming revolution: Implications of self-generation for the risk exposure of retailers

Russo, Marianna; Bertsch, Valentin - 2018

Managing the risk associated with uncertain load has always been a challenge for retailers in electricity markets. Yet …-generation, constitutes a new and yet greater volume risk. Using value-at-risk metrics and Monte Carlo simulations based on German historical …

Short-term risk management for electricity retailers under rising shares of decentralized solar generation

Russo, Marianna; Kraft, Emil; Bertsch, Valentin; Keles, … - 2021

-term decisionmaking and associated risk exposure of electricity retailers in day-ahead and intraday markets. First, we develop a …-integer optimization model to investigate the trading portfolio and risk optimization problem faced by retailers. Through conditional value-at-risk … we assess retailers' profitability and risk exposure to different levels of PV self-generation by assuming different …

A Review of Solar Photovoltaic Levelized Cost of Electricity

Branker, Kadra - 2012

As the solar photovoltaic (PV) matures, the economic feasibility of PV projects are increasingly being evaluated using the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) generation in order to be compared to other electricity generation technologies. Unfortunately, there is lack of clarity of reporting...

Effects of attribute-based regulation on technology adoption : the case of feed-in tariffs for solar photovoltaic

Germeshausen, Robert - 2018

Feed-in tariffs are a widespread policy instrument to support the diffusion of renewable energy technologies. I investigate the impact of the size-based differentiation of these tariffs on the adoption of residential scale solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in Germany. Exploiting a policy...

Power From the People : Rooftop Solar and a Downward-Sloping Supply of Electricity

La Nauze, Andrea - 2019

Using high-frequency data, I show that the supply of electricity by solar households can be downward-sloping. I document that households receiving higher prices to sell electricity increase their own consumption as their panels produce more, relative to households receiving lower prices. I test...

The prosumers and the grid

Gautier, Axel; Jacqmin, Julien; Poudou, Jean-Christophe - 2017

Prosumers are households that are both producers and consumers of electricity. A prosumer has a grid-connected decentralized production unit (DPU) and makes two types of exchanges with the grid: energy imports when the local production is insuffcient to match the local consumption and energy...

Distributed photovoltaic power generation : possibilities, benefits, and challenges for a widespread application in the Mexican residential sector

Hancevic, Pedro I.; Nuñez, Hector M.; Rosellón, Juan - 2017

Mexico plans to implement a national program to support the adoption of distributed photo-voltaic generation (DPVG) among qualified households. The main objectives of such a program would be to reduce the burden of the substantial federal energy subsidy and increase the share of renewable energy...

Impact of regulatory changes on economic feasibility of distributed generation solar units

Doyle, Gabriel Nasser Doile de; Rotella Junior, Paulo; … - 2022

The Brazilian National Electrical Agency (ANEEL) proposed in 2019 that the costs for accessing the electricity grid should be shared among all consumers. This would do away with cross-subsidies where normal consumers without installed solar distributed generation (DG) units effectively cover the...

From Airbnb to Solar : Toward a Transaction Cost Model of a Retail Electricity Distribution Platform

Kiesling, L. Lynne - 2019

Digital technologies have reduced transaction costs and led to platform business models and the sharing economy. Platform business models are increasingly part of policy debates in electricity distribution and retail due to the proliferation of digital and distributed energy resource (DER)...
