Can bitcoin mining increase renewable electricity capacity?
Bruno, August; Weber, Paige; Yates, Andrew J. - 2022
Proponents of Bitcoin argue that demand for electricity from Bitcoin miners can lead to an increase in renewable electricity capacity. We rigorously evaluate this claim by estimating a Bitcoin electricity demand curve and include this demand curve in a long-run model of the Texas electricity...

Strategic bidding of electric power generating companies : evidence from the Australian National Energy Market
Dungey, Mardi H.; Ghahremanlou, Ali; Long, Ngo Van - 2017
We extend existing theoretical frameworks describing electricity markets where each generator provides a Market Operator (MO) with a supply schedule in advance. The MO combines these with demand forecasts to produce equilibrium prices and instructs firms on their dispatch. We incorporate the...

Changing electricity markets : quantifying the price effects of greening the energy matrix
Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild - 2022 - Original Version: June 2022, this version: July 2022
We analyse the drivers of European Power Exchange (EPEX) retail electricity prices between 2012 and early 2022 using machine learning. The agnostic random forest approach that we use is able to reduce in-sample root mean square errors (RMSEs) by around 50% when compared to a standard linear...
