Ein Versagen des Preismechanismus im Gasmarkt ist nicht ausgeschlossen. Der Beitrag erläutert, wie es zu einem Marktzusammenbruch kommen kann und welche Auswirkungen bereits die Möglichkeit eines Marktkollapses haben kann. Es wird gezeigt, welche Elemente ein ökonomisches Regelwerk im...

The transformation of the energy system causes increasing stress on distribution grid components. However, ´rexible EV charging, if incentivized adequately, can help mitigate this impact by reducing peaks in loads and feed-in. A comprehensive regional analysis is necessary to understand the...

Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and implementing variable electricity tariffs increase peak demand and the risk of congestion in distribution grids. To avert critical grid situations and sidestep expensive grid expansions, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) must have intervention rights,...

Der angestrebte Umbau der Energieversorgung wird die Rationalität des Stromsystems vollständig verändern, indem die fluktuierenden erneuerbaren Energien (FEE, das heißt Wind, Photovoltaik und große Teile der Laufwasserkraft) zu den prägenden Systemsäulen werden. Die FEE sollen sukzessive...

Electricity prices have seen a consistent upward trend since the implementation of Mexico's electricity market reform (EMR). This has been interpreted by some as a failure of the EMR. In this paper we study the determinants of such price increases. We calculate the generation cost curve of the...

With a growing number of distributed energy resources, the electricity network is challenged with a higher quantity of technical problems such as capacity congestions and over- or under-voltages. One often-discussed approach to solve these problems, especially in the European zonal electricity...

Der Umbau der Stromversorgung in Deutschland im Rahmen der Energiewende erfordert einen Ausbau der Stromnetzinfrastruktur. Obwohl die Einspeiseseite zunehmend Treiber dieses Ausbaubedarfs ist, erhält sie kaum Anreize, die Auswirkungen ihrer Standortwahl auf das Stromnetz bei ihren...

Part I of this two-part paper has presented flow-based market coupling (FBMC), the implicit congestion management method used to couple the CentralWestern European (CWE) electricity markets. It has also introduced a large-scale model framework for FBMC assessments, focusing on modeling the...

Kazakhstan envisions a transition towards a green economy in the next decades which poses an immense challenge as the country heavily depends on (hydro-)carbon resources, for both its economy and its energy system. In this context, there is a lack of comprehensive and transparent planning tools...
