The energy and CO2 emissions impact of renewable energy development in China
Qi, Tianyu; Zhang, Xiliang; Karplus, Valerie J. - In: Energy Policy 68 (2014) C, pp. 60-69
China has adopted targets for developing renewable electricity that would require expansion on an unprecedented scale. During the period from 2010 to 2020, we find that current renewable electricity targets result in significant additional renewable energy installation and a reduction in...

Spatial variation of emissions impacts due to renewable energy siting decisions in the Western U.S. under high-renewable penetration scenarios
Blumsack, Seth; Xu, Jianhua - In: Energy Policy 39 (2011) 11, pp. 6962-6971
One of the policy goals motivating programs to increase renewable energy investment is that renewable electric generation will help reduce emissions of CO2 as well as emissions of conventional pollutants (e.g., SO2 and NOx). As a policy instrument, Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) encourage...

Residual Load, Renewable Surplus Generation and Storage Requirements in Germany
Schill, Wolf-Peter - In: Energy Policy 73 (2014), pp. 65-79
I examine the effects of increasing amounts of fluctuating renewable energy on residual load, which is defined as the difference between actual power demand and the feed-in of non-dispatchable and inflexible generators. I draw on policy-relevant scenarios for Germany and make use of extensive...

Prosumage of solar electricity: Tariff design, capacity investments, and power sector effects
Günther, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter; Zerrahn, Alexander - In: Energy Policy 152 (2021)
We analyze how tariff design incentivizes households to invest in residential photovoltaic and battery storage systems, and explore selected electricity sector effects. To this end, we develop an open-source electricity sector model that explicitly features prosumage agents and apply it to...

The limits to solar thermal electricity
Trainer, Ted - In: Energy Policy 73 (2014) C, pp. 57-64
The potential and limits of solar thermal power systems depend primarily on their capacity to meet electricity demand in mid-winter, and the associated cost, storage and other implications. Evidence on output and costs is analysed. Most attention is given to central receivers. Problems of low...
