I examine the effects of increasing amounts of fluctuating renewable energy on residual load, which is defined as the difference between actual power demand and the feed-in of non-dispatchable and inflexible generators. I draw on policy-relevant scenarios for Germany and make use of extensive...

This paper analyzes the influence of wind turbines as new participants on prices and allocation within balancing markets. We introduce the cost-minimizing electricity sector model ELMOD-MIP, that includes detailed unit-commitment constraints, complex combined heat and power constraints, and...

We develop a dispatch and investment model to study the role of power storage and other flexibility options in a greenfield setting with high shares of renewables. The model captures multiple system values of power storage related to arbitrage, dispatchable capacity, and reserves. In a baseline...

We examine the effects of future renewable expansion in Germany on residual load and renewable surplus generation for policy-relevant scenarios for 2022, 2032 and 2050. We also determine the storage capacities required for taking up renewable surpluses for varying levels of accepted curtailment....

This paper develops a framework for renewable producers to withhold capacity from the day-ahead market in response to higher renewable output risk. The developed hypotheses are tested on a rich dataset from the German electricity market, with a novel measure of renewable forecast risk. The data...

Infolge des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine kam es zu einem starken Anstieg der Energiepreise. Um die Folgen dieser Energiekrise für die Haushalte in Deutschland in der ganzen Breite zu erfassen, führt der Sachverständigenrat für Verbraucherfragen (SVRV) mit dem...
