Anfang 2019 wurde beim Umweltbundesamt das Regionalnachweisregister ins Leben gerufen, mit dessen Hilfe Energieversorgungsunternehmen die Regionalität einer Stromlieferung gegenüber ihren Kunden ausweisen können. Doch auch ohne Regionalnachweisregister wird teilweise mit der Regionalität von...

Anfang 2019 wurde beim Umweltbundesamt das Regionalnachweisregister ins Leben gerufen, mit dessen Hilfe Energieversorger die Regionalität einer Stromlieferung gegenüber ihren Kunden ausweisen können. Doch auch ohne Regionalnachweisregister wird teilweise mit der Regionalität von Stromtarifen...

Machine learning and agent-based modeling are two popular tools in energy research. In this article, we propose an innovative methodology that combines these methods. For this purpose, we develop an electricity price forecasting technique using artificial neural networks and integrate the novel...

This paper provides a review on modeling electricity markets with System Dynamics (SD) focusing on deregulated electricity market models. First the SD method is classified within the wide field of electricity market modeling. Then all distinctive properties of the SD method in this context are...

Different field trials and corresponding acceptance studies with new technologies have been carried out between 2010 and 2013 at the Chair of Energy Economics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Those involved Electric Vehicle (EV) users, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed...

Energy systems based on renewable energy sources require increasing demand side flexibility. Also, changes in the underlying cost structure, i. e., decreasing variable costs and increasing infrastructure investments, and varying customer needs should be reflected in the setup of future markets,...

Utilization of electric vehicles provides a solution to several challenges in today’s individual mobility. However, ensuring maximum efficient operation of electric vehicles is required in order to overcome their greatest weakness: the limited range. Even though the overall efficiency is...

Electricity markets are currently going through a phase of agitating transition, which is mainly characterized by an increasing share of fluctuating renewable energies. Among policy makers, this has led to growing concerns about generation adequacy and often to the introduction of different...
