[Fazit:] In dem Bericht wurden die Ergebnisse einer schriftlichen Haushaltsbefragung vorgestellt, die in der Großen Kreisstadt Delitzsch - stellvertretend für kleine und mittlere Kommunen mit deutlichen demographischen Veränderungen - im Frühjahr 2010 durchgeführt wurde. Diese richtete sich...

In this paper, empirically determined retrieval probabilities for control power are investigated. Since there is a continuous need for balancing unscheduled deviations of supply and demand, control power is of very high importance for the stability of the power system. Systems that are...

Modeling the diffusion of innovations is a very challenging task, as there are various influencing factors to consider. At the same time, insights into the diffusion process can help decision makers to detect weak points of potential business models. In the literature, various models and...

Against the background of the energy transition accompanied by a rising penetration of renewable energy (REN) sources and a stepwise phase out of conventional power plants in order to fulfill climate protection targets, the requirements for a reliable transmission grid infrastructure increased...

Decision makers of municipal energy utilities responsible for future portfolio strategies are confronted with making informed decisions within the scope of continuously evolving systems. To cope with the increasing flexibility of customers, and their autonomous decision-making processes,...

This paper investigates market-based decarbonization, driven by carbon pricing, and under different regulatory settings. These consist of a conventional energy-only market (EOM), an EOM with operating reserve demand curve (ORDC) and a capacity market (CM). We find that contrary to previous...

Despite their relevance for adoption levels in spatial analyses, previous studies on adoption intention excluded measures characterizing the living environment of participants such as population density and previous photovoltaic (PV) installations so far. To fill this gap, this study was...
