We present a mixed integer, multi-period, cost-minimizing carbon capture, transport and storage (CCTS) network model … for Europe. The model incorporates endogenous decisions about carbon capture, pipeline and storage investments; capture …, flow and injection quantities based on given costs, certificate prices, storage capacities and point source emissions …

The management of congestion within the German electricity transmission network has become more important during the … power plants. Both developments yield a change in the transmission flow pattern and thus the need for congestion management …. Currently, four German transmission system operators (TSOs) are in charge of managing congestion using curative methods …
