Industrial demand response: How network tariffs and regulation (do not) impact flexibility provision in electricity markets and reserves
Richstein, Jörn C.; Hosseinioun, Seyed Saeed - In: Applied Energy 278 (2020)
-demand (demand charges) can be detrimental for the provision of demand response, especially on new investments in process capacity … endogenous investments, there are synergies between primary reserve participation and day-ahead flexibility provision, with the … combination leading to increased capacity investments. In contrast, so-called interruptible load reserves, regular payments to …
