Wind, storage, interconnection and the cost of electricity generation
Di Cosmo, Valeria; Malaguzzi Valeri, Laura - 2017
We evaluate how increasing wind generation affects wholesale electricity prices, balancing payments and the cost of subsidies using the Irish Single Electricity Market (SEM) as a test system, with hourly data from 1 January 2008 to 28 August 2012. We model the spot market using a system of...

European power struggles : can EU’s decarbonisation agenda break the state-company axis in the power sector?
Sattich, Thomas; Ydersbond, Inga; Scholten, Daniel - 2015
Europe's power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power...

Why wind is not coal : on the economics of electricity
Hirth, Lion; Ueckerdt, Falko; Edenhofer, Ottmar - 2014
The economics of electricity is shaped by its physics. A well know example is the non-storability of electricity that causes its price to fluctuate widely. More generally, physical constraints cause electricity to be a heterogeneous good along three dimensions - time, space, and lead-time....

Pathways toward zero-carbon electricity required for climate stabilization
Audoly, Richard; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Guivarch, Céline; … - 2017
This paper covers three policy-relevant aspects of the carbon content of electricity that are well established among integrated assessment models but under-discussed in the policy debate. First, climate stabilization at any level from 2°C to 3°C requires electricity to be almost carbon-free...

M-LED: multi-sectoral latent electricity demand assessment for energy access planning
Falchetta, Giacomo; Stevanato, Nicolò; Moner-Girona, Magda - 2020
Globally about 800 million people live without electricity at home, over two thirds of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. Ending energy poverty is a key development priority because energy plays an enabling role for human wellbeing and economic activities. Planning electricity access...

System integration of wind and solar power in integrated assessment models : a cross-model evaluation of new approaches
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Ueckerdt, Falko; Carrara, Samuel; … - 2017
Mitigation-Process Integrated Assessment Models (MP-IAMs) are used to analyze long-term transformation pathways of the energy system required to achieve stringent climate change mitigation targets. Due to their substantial temporal and spatial aggregation, IAMs cannot explicitly represent all...
