Effectiveness of Real Time Information Provision with Time of Use Pricing
Pon, Shirley - 2016
Real time information feedback combined with various pricing schemes has been found to reduce residential energy consumption more than information and pricing policies alone. I examine the effect of information provision with bi-monthly, monthly, and real time pricing with in-home displays with...

The Rebound Effect and its Representation in Energy and Climate Models
Colmenares, Gloria; Löschel, Andreas; Madlener, Reinhard - 2020
In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art and common practice of energy and climate modeling vis-a-vis the rebound literature. In particular, we study how energy system and economy wide models include and quantify rebound effects - the gap between actual and expected saving or the behavioral...

Cost-Effectiveness of Li-Ion Battery Storage with a Special Focus on Photovoltaic Systems in Private Households
Vonsien, Silvia - 2019
Using a self-developed economic model with a technical battery aging component, this paper provides a new approach to … evaluating the economic efficiency of Li-ion battery storage. We use our model to quantify the increase in self-consumption of … electricity from a solar photovoltaic system by means of a home battery storage system. Regarding battery aging, we find that the …

A Least-Cost Assessment of the CO<sub>2</sub> Mitigation Potential Using Renewable Energies in the Indian Electricity Supply Sector
Kumar, Subhash - 2015
The Indian power sector is experiencing a lot of pressure to supply sustainable electricity at affordable cost due to heavy demand especially in the summer peak season. Most of India's electricity is produced by fossil fueled power plants, which are the source of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. In this case,...

The Impact of Modified EU ETS Allocation Principles on the Economics of CHP-Based District Heating Networks
Westner, Günther - 2011
The economics of large-scale combined heat and power (CHP) generation for district heating (DH) applications are strongly affected by the costs and allocation mechanism of CO2 emission allowances. In the next period of the European emission trading system (EU ETS), from 2013 onwards, the...
