In this paper we study the spatial and temporal distribution of the wind and hydro resources, together with electricity demand and prices, with the objective to gain insights on the trade-offs of developing wind power in different parts of the country. It is particularly important to understand...

Understanding the impact of climate change on renewable energy resources is increasingly vital as our energy systems transition towards higher levels of renewable generation. This paper explores power system transition under climate change impacts on hydro resources, as well as the impact of...

Hydro and wind are both commonly deployed renewable sources of electricity. Wind is intermittent and unpredictable to a large degree. Hydro depends on seasonal rainfall patterns, although storage may offer scope to spread the risk associated with dry seasons. We investigate the impact of...

Emergency measures imposed by governments around the world have had massive impacts on the energy sector, resulting in dramatic reductions in total energy demand. The New Zealand government introduced strict containment measures in response to the Covid-19 virus. We use an augmented...
