Growing shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in the electricity system increase the need for flexible balancing of supply-dependent feed-in of RES and time-varying demand. Besides flexible, conventional technologies and demand-responses, storage is an important option. Through the use of an...

In this paper, benefits resulting from the interaction of electric vehicles and photovoltaic generation units are analyzed. In doing so, a bottom-up approach is developed to simulate the driving and charging behavior of electric vehicles. An economic analysis is then performed to determine key...

What happens to the merit order of electricity markets when all electricity is supplied by intermittent renewable energy sources coupled with large-scale electricity storage? With near-zero marginal cost of production, will there still be a role for an energy-only electricity market? We answer...
