A looming revolution: Implications of self-generation for the risk exposure of retailers
Russo, Marianna; Bertsch, Valentin - 2018
Managing the risk associated with uncertain load has always been a challenge for retailers in electricity markets. Yet …-generation, constitutes a new and yet greater volume risk. Using value-at-risk metrics and Monte Carlo simulations based on German historical …

Short-term risk management for electricity retailers under rising shares of decentralized solar generation
Russo, Marianna; Kraft, Emil; Bertsch, Valentin; Keles, … - 2021
-term decisionmaking and associated risk exposure of electricity retailers in day-ahead and intraday markets. First, we develop a …-integer optimization model to investigate the trading portfolio and risk optimization problem faced by retailers. Through conditional value-at-risk … we assess retailers' profitability and risk exposure to different levels of PV self-generation by assuming different …

Forecasting volatility in European stock markets with non-linear GARCH models
Forte, Gianfranco; Manera, Matteo - 2002
This paper investigates the forecasting performance of three popular variants of the non-linear GARCH models, namely VS-GARCH, GJR-GARCH and Q-GARCH, with the symmetric GARCH(1,1) model as a benchmark. The application involves ten European stock price indexes. Forecasts produced by each...

Effects of attribute-based regulation on technology adoption: The case of feed-in tariffs for solar photovoltaic
Germeshausen, Robert - 2018
Feed-in tariffs are a widespread policy instrument to support the diffusion of renewable energy technologies. I investigate the impact of the size-based differentiation of these tariffs on the adoption of residential scale solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in Germany. Exploiting a policy...

Taxing carbon emissions and green transition: The case of the Italian electricity market
Amendola, Marco; Valente, Marco - 2024
The electricity generating sector is the single largest source of climate altering pollution. A country aiming to meet its targets for a net-zero economy needs therefore to radically reduce the emissions stemming from this sector. Charging carbon emissions is the preferred market-friendly policy...

Wie unbeliebt ist Kohle und wie beliebt sind die Erneuerbaren? Eine empirische Regionalanalyse der energiepolitischen Präferenzen deutscher Haushalte
Andor, Mark A.; Frondel, Manuel; Rinne, Sonja - 2015
Es gibt kaum verlässliche empirische Evidenz zu den regionalen Unterschieden in den Bewertungen der im Zuge der Energiewende ergriffenen energiepolitischen Maßnahmen. Wünschenswert wäre daher eine institutionalisierte, regelmäßige Befragung eines festen Panels von Haushalten zu ihren...

Follow the sun! How investments in solar power plants in Sicily can generate high returns of investments and help to prevent global warming
Schinke, Jan Christian - 2010
Germany could have reached Kyoto protocol obligations earlier if German solar investments would be relocated to Sicily. Additional benefits of emission savings and energy production should rise up to 72%. Nevertheless German solar power plants 2008 counted for 20 % of the financial benefits...

Survey of photovoltaic industry and policy in Germany and China
Grau, Thilo; Huo, Molin; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2011
As building-integrated photovoltaic (PV) solutions can meet around one-third of electricity demand in Germany and China, both countries are interested in exploring this potential. PV technologies have demonstrated significant price reductions, but large-scale global application of PV requires...

Germany's Solar Cell Promotion: Dark Clouds on the Horizon
Frondel, Manuel; Ritter, Nolan; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2008
This article demonstrates that the large feed-in tariffs currently guaranteed for solar electricity in Germany constitute a subsidization regime that, if extended to 2020, threatens to reach a level comparable to that of German hard coal production, a notoriously outstanding example of misguided...

Using Scientific Publications to Evaluate Government R&D Spending: The Case of Energy
Popp, David - 2015
The mix of public and private research funding investments in alternative energy presents a challenge for isolating the effect of government R&D funding. Factors such as energy prices and environmental policy influence both private and public R&D decisions. Moreover, because government R&D is...
