The market value of variable renewables
Hirth, Lion - 2012
The income that wind and solar power receive on the market is affected by the variability of their output. At times of high availability of the primary energy source, they supply electricity at zero marginal costs, shift the supply curve (merit-order curve) to the right and thereby reduce the...

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...

The French nuclear bet
Perrier, Quentin - 2017
Following the first oil crisis, France launched the world’s largest ever nuclear energy program, commissioning 58 new reactors. These reactors are now reaching 40 years of age, the end of their technological lifetime. This places France at an energy policy crossroads: should the reactors be...

Reactor ageing and phase-out policies : global and European prospects for nuclear power generation
Carrara, Samuel - 2019
Nuclear is considered as a valuable option for the decarbonization of the power generation, as it is a no-carbon, yet commercially consolidated technology. However, its real prospects are uncertain: if some countries, especially in the non-OECD area, have been extensively investing in nuclear,...
