Growth curves and sustained commissioning modelling of renewable energy: Investigating resource constraints for wind energy

Davidsson, Simon; Grandell, Leena; Wachtmeister, Henrik; … - In: Energy Policy 73 (2014) C, pp. 767-776

Several recent studies have proposed fast transitions to energy systems based on renewable energy technology. Many of them dismiss potential physical constraints and issues with natural resource supply, and do not consider the growth rates of the individual technologies needed or how the energy...

The Fukushima nuclear accident and its effect on global energy security

Hayashi, Masatsugu; Hughes, Larry - In: Energy Policy 59 (2013) C, pp. 102-111

The March 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station affected both short- and long-term energy-security in Japan, resulting in crisis-driven, ad hoc energy policy and, because of the decision to shutter all nuclear reactors, increased the country’s demand for fossil...

Micro-hydro power in the UK: The role of communities in an emerging energy resource

Bracken, L.J.; Bulkeley, H.A.; Maynard, C.M. - In: Energy Policy 68 (2014) C, pp. 92-101

Research around micro-hydro power is focused on technical aspects with limited understanding of the social organisation and environmental implications. We examine the ways in which micro-hydro is engaged by people and organisations as a means of contributing to the UK's policy ambition for...

Renewable energy: Comparison of CDM and Annex I projects

Kirkman, Grant A.; Seres, Stephen; Haites, Erik - In: Energy Policy 63 (2013) C, pp. 995-1001

Geothermal, Hydro, Solar and Wind projects located in developing (4808 CDM projects) and developed (2952 Annex I projects) are compared in terms of size (capacity – MWe), capital intensity (US$/MWe) and average investment (US$ per project). The average investment in both CDM and Annex I...

Implications of the North Atlantic Oscillation for a UK–Norway Renewable power system

Ely, Caroline R.; Brayshaw, David J.; Methven, John; … - In: Energy Policy 62 (2013) C, pp. 1420-1427

UK wind-power capacity is increasing and new transmission links are proposed with Norway, where hydropower dominates the electricity mix. Weather affects both these renewable resources and the demand for electricity. The dominant large-scale pattern of Euro-Atlantic atmospheric variability is...

Causes of the EU ETS price drop: Recession, CDM, renewable policies or a bit of everything?—New evidence

Koch, Nicolas; Fuss, Sabine; Grosjean, Godefroy; … - In: Energy Policy 73 (2014) C, pp. 676-685

The price of EU allowances (EUAs) in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) fell from almost 30€/tCO2 in mid-2008 to less than 5€/tCO2 in mid-2013. The sharp and persistent price decline has sparked intense debates both in academia and among policy-makers about the decisive allowance price...

Consumer loss in Czech photovoltaic power plants in 2010–2011

Průša, Jan; Klimešová, Andrea; Janda, Karel - In: Energy Policy 63 (2013) C, pp. 747-755

This paper provides a financial survey of a small sample of Czech photovoltaic (PV) plants. To evaluate the extent of market losses, we calculate the shadow market price of solar electricity. From the profit and loss accounts of the PV plants and the shadow market price we estimate the total...
