The purpose of this article is to analyze the security of supply in Colombia. The analysis considers the Reliability Charge, which is a model adapted in Colombia to guarantee generation investments. We measure the difference among demand supply electricity scenarios. The supply side for new...

In this paper, we present a straightforward economic model that explains the incentives to manipulate nodal energy prices in a “Day 2” RTO market. The model distinguishes between legitimate market participation that increases overall market efficiency and manipulative behavior that distorts...

Restricted participation in sequential markets may cause high price volatility and welfare losses. In this paper we therefore analyze the drivers of restricted participation in the German intraday auctin which is a short-term electricity market with quarter-hourly products. Applying a...

Analyzing commodity market dynamics, we observe that price volatility increases with reduced contract duration. In this paper, we derive a theoretical model depicting the price formation in two markets with altering product granularity. Supplemented by empirical evidence from German electricity...

This article proposes a new electricity storage business model based on multiple simultaneously considered revenue streams, which can be attributed to different market activities and players. These players thus share electricity storage resources and compete to obtain the right to use them in a...

We study the effects of different information structures (full information, supply uncertainty and demand uncertainty) on equilibrium prices, allocative efficiency and bidding behavior in a (supply-side) uniform-price multi-unit auction, using supply function competition and a novel experimental...

Due to an ongoing energy transition, electricity networks are increasingly challenged by situations where local electrical power demands are high but local generation is low and vice versa. This finally leads to a growing number of technical problems. To solve these problems in the short-term,...

In den letzten Jahren wird vermehrt die Sorge geäußert, dass die Energiewende die Sicherheit der Stromversorgung in Deutschland langfristig durch Engpässe und Stromausfälle gefährden könnte. Während der Ausbau von volatiler Stromerzeugung aus Wind- und Sonnenenergie mit hohem Tempo...
