It has been almost 40 years since Chile reformed its electricity sector. In 1982, the Electricity Act created an energy market for generators and large customers to negotiate supply contracts. It also established a centralized dispatch of power plants in ascending order of generation cost,...

We investigate the role of U.S.-Canada electricity interconnections in supporting decarbonization efforts toward addressing both countries' emission reduction goals. Using the OSeMOSYS energy system model, we calculate the generation mix and required transmission expansion between Canada and the...

This paper aims to analyze the implications of electric vehicle (EV) promotion policy on the Thai road transport and electricity sectors. For this purpose, this paper develops three scenarios representing different levels of EV penetration and assesses the scenario impacts with a view to...

Electricity supply is one of the critical issues in the energy field. Due to the high shares of greenhouse gases emissions, the electricity sector is experiencing a transition towards a progressively wider use of low-carbon technologies. At the same time, electrification of end-use sectors is...

Market policies play a crucial role in facilitating the transition to a low-carbon society by restructuring the electricity market and influencing stakeholder behavior. Policymakers are concerned with how to implement these policies in terms of their intensity, combination, and timing. However,...

The linking of different jurisdictions or markets via electrical interconnection is a long established means of offering enhanced security of supply to the wider electrical system. In recent years, new incentives around exploiting market price differentials and facilitating the growth of...

This paper surveys the literature relevant for comparing centralized and decentralized wholesale electricity markets. Under a centralized design, producers submit detailed cost data to the system operator the day before delivery, who then decides how much to produce for each generation unit....

Over the past three decades, energy and economic growth have been joined by enormous environmental pollution and growing global concerns. It is necessary to check the factors' effects impacting CO2 emissions and decouple CO2 from economic growth for the biggest emitter China. This study uses the...
