We present a bottom-up electricity market model for Switzerland called Swissmod. It includes a detailed electricity … interdependence of hydraulically coupled hydropower plants into account. In addition, the Swiss electricity network is represented … surrounding European electricity markets. The aim of this paper is to outline the model and calibrate it to 2012 data. …

In an electricity system, demand and supply have to be balanced in real time. Since most energy is traded before real … supply even if power plants deviate from their schedules, the system operator procures balancing capacity and energy in …-dominated electricity system using Switzerland as a case study. By using a short-term hydropower operation model and a set of Swiss …

The electricity sector plays a key role in achieving zero-emission targets. The required transition will lead to … substantial changes in the supply, demand, and distribution of electricity but also in stakeholder roles.

The interdependence of electricity and natural gas is becoming a major energy policy and regulatory issue in all … jurisdictions around the world. The increased role of gas fired plants in renewable-based electricity markets and the dependence on … gas imports make this issue particular striking for the European energy market. In this paper we provide a comprehensive …

The overlapping impact of the Emission Trading System (ETS) and renewable energy (RE) deployment targets creates a … German electricity sector, for the five years 2006 through 2010. Based on a unit commitment model we estimate that CO2 … emissions from the electricity sector are reduced by 33 to 57 Mtons, or 10% to 16% of what estimated emissions would have been …

Natural gas plays an important role in the future development of electricity markets as it is the least emission … intermittent renewable generation. As both the electricity and the natural gas market rely on networks, congestion on one market … electricity network markets to test the potential interaction with respect to investments. The model is tested under simplified …
