A Greenfield Model to Evaluate Long-Run Power Storage Requirements for High Shares of Renewables
Zerrahn, Alexander; Schill, Wolf-Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2015
We develop a dispatch and investment model to study the role of power storage and other flexibility options in a greenfield setting with high shares of renewables. The model captures multiple system values of power storage related to arbitrage, dispatchable capacity, and reserves. In a baseline...

Residual Load, Renewable Surplus Generation and Storage Requirements in Germany
Schill, Wolf-Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2013
policy-relevant scenarios for 2022, 2032 and 2050. We also determine the storage capacities required for taking up renewable …. Renewable surpluses generally have high peaks which only occur in very few hours of the year, whereas overall surplus energy is … rather low in most scenarios analyzed. Surpluses increase substantially with growing thermal must-run requirements …

From Boom to Bust?: A Critical Look at US Shale Gas Projections
Richter, Philipp M. - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2013
US shale gas production is generally expected to continue its fast rise. However, a cautious evaluation is needed. Shale gas resource estimates are potentially overoptimistic and it is uncertain to which extent they can be produced economically. Moreover, the adverse environmental effects of...

On Distributive Effects of Optimal Regulation for Power Grid Expansion
Herrera, Luis Ángel; Rosellón, Juan - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2013
To date, the distributive implications of incentive regulation on electricity transmission networks have not been explicitly studied in the literature. More specifically, the parameters that a regulator might use to achieve distributive efficiency under price-cap regulation have not yet been...

Electric Vehicles in Imperfect Electricity Markets: A German Case Study
Schill, Wolf-Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2010
We analyze the impacts of a hypothetical fleet of plug-in electric vehicles on the imperfectly competitive German electricity market with a game-theoretic model. Electric vehicles bring both additional demand and additional storage capacity to the market. We determine their effects on prices,...
