We employ a detailed two-stage model to simulate the operation of the Central Eastern European electricity market and network. Implementing different cases of coordination in congestion management between national transmission system operators, numerical results show the beneficial impact of...

In this paper we analyze the German congestion management regime and assess future congestion management costs given a higher share of intermittent renewable generation. In this context, cost-based re-dispatching of power plants and technical flexibility through topology optimization are...

This paper, which examines the impacts of phasing out nuclear power in Germany, is the first to include an analysis of energy supply security and critical line flows in both the German and Central European electricity networks. The technical-economic model of the European electricity market,...

We analyze the impact of the risk attitude of participating subjects in both single-sided uniform and pay-as-bid auctions using an experimental approach. The experiments are conducted in a stable demand environment with homogeneous groups, each consisting of five participants that exhibit either...

In this paper we compare different approaches to account for start-up costs when modeling electricity markets. We restrict the model formulation to either linear or mixed integer problems in order to guarantee a robust solution. The results indicate that the choice of the model has a significant...

The management of congestion within the German electricity transmission network has become more important during the last years. This emerging relevance is caused by the increase of renewable generation and the partial phaseout of nuclear power plants. Both developments yield a change in the...

In northern Europe wind energy became a dominating renewable energy source due to natural conditions and national support schemes. However, the uncertainty about wind generation affects existing network infrastructure and power production planning of generators and cannot not be fully diminished...

Security of transmission is a crucial element of any electricity systems. Due to the highly meshed structure of the European power system, single outages can lead to significant disturbances in the whole system. This paper describes the process of the contingency analysis, and determines...

The ramp-up of the hydrogen economy is crucial for a carbon-neutral energy system. This paper presents six design features for a support mechanism for hydrogen technologies: it should be tailormade for specific hydrogen applications, neutral towards hydrogen production technologies, related to...

The management of congestion within the German electricity transmission network has become more important during the last years. This emerging relevance is caused by the increase of renewable generation and the partial phaseout of nuclear power plants. Both developments yield a change in the...
