The CDM Executive Board recently took a positive decision on programmatic CDM, also known as a CDM Programme of Activities. This prompts the author to present a new tool that has been developed recently for the Thai electricity market. The Renewable Energy Development (RED) Model, initially...

One of the most fascinating examples of parasite-induced host manipulation is that of hairworms, first, because they induce a spectacular "suicide" water-seeking behavior in their terrestrial insect hosts and, second, because the emergence of the parasite is not lethal per se for the host that...

Liberalisation, climate policy and promotion of renewable energy are challenges to players of the electricity sector in many countries. Policy makers have to consider issues like market power, bounded rationality of players and the appearance of fluctuating energy sources in order to provide...

Neben den tiefgreifenden Veränderungen bei der Stromerzeugung stellt die Energiewende vor allem die Bereiche Stromübertragung und -verteilung vor große Herausforderungen. Notwendige Investitionen in die Netzinfrastruktur führen zu einer Steigerung der Netznutzungsentgelte, die von den...

Due to growing environmental issues, a strong political will to increase the use of renewable energy sources exists in many countries of the world. Mainly in the EU, measures to promote renewable energies have been taken. In Asia, the use of renewable energy is being promoted, too. However,...

In diesem Buch wird ein Überblick über Methoden der Energiesystemanalyse gegeben, die am KIT weiterentwickelt und angewendet werden. Ziel dieses Tagungsbandes ist eine Bestandsaufnahme und Kompetenzdokumentation im Bereich der Energiesystemanalyse, die als Basis zur Ableitung von...

In Europe, the ongoing renewable expansion and delays in the planned grid extension have intensified the discussion about an adequate electricity market design. Against this background, we jointly apply an agent-based electricity market model and an optimal power flow model to investigate the...

This paper documents ELMOD, a linear optimization model with a nodal pricing approach, covering the energy market and electricity grid of Europe. In the presented formulation, ELMOD is used for the computation of market coupling results without grid constraints and subsequent computation of...
