Who pays for renewables? : increasing renewable subsidisation due to increased datacentre demand in Ireland
Lynch, Muireann Á.; Devine, Mel T. - 2017
Demand from datacentres makes up a rapidly growing portion of electricity demand in Ireland. Increased demand in turn gives rise to increased renewable generation, mandated by government targets, and a corresponding increase in subsidisation levels. The current method of apportioning renewable...

Investment vs. refurbishment: Examining capacity payment mechanisms using mixed complementarity problems with endogenous probability
Lynch, Muireann Á.; Devine, Mel T. - 2015
consider the effects of refurbishment of existing generation units in order to increase their reliability. This paper presents … prices and generation investment. Capacity payments are found to increase reliability when refurbishment is not possible …, while capacity payments and reliability options yield similar results when refurbishment is possible. Final costs to …

The effect of demand response and wind generation on electricity investment and operation
Nolan, Sheila; Devine, Mel; Lynch, Muireann Á.; … - 2017
We present a novel method of determining the contribution of load-shifting Demand Response (DR) to energy and reserve markets. We model DR in an Mixed Complementarity Problem (MCP) framework with high levels of wind penetration. Investment, exit and operational decisions are optimised...

Cartel formation with endogenous capacity and demand uncertainty
Paha, Johannes - 2013
This article analyzes the strategic decisions of firms whether to establish and adhere to a cartel when they can also shape competition by investing into production capacity while being subject to unexpected demand shocks with persistence. The model shows that a negative demand shock can...

Cartel formation with endogenous capacity and demand uncertainty : conference paper
Paha, Johannes - 2013
This article provides a framework for the analysis of cartel formation. It models the strategic interaction among firms who invest into production capacity, sell a near-homogeneous good, and are subject to unexpected demand shocks with persistence. The firms either compete or collude in prices....

Capacity Choice under Uncertainty with Product Differentiation
Behrens, Christiaan - 2012
This article analyses the capacity-then-price game for a duopoly market. We add to the literature by explicitly taking product differentiation into account. We study the impact of capacity costs, demand uncertainty, and vertical and horizontal product differentiation on equilibrium capacities,...

Production or transmission investments? : a comparative study
Blazquez de Paz, Mario - 2017 - This version: March 10, 2017
A successful transformation to a carbon neutral energy system requires the correct investments in transmission and production capacity. In a zonal pricing electricity market, the one proposed by the European Commission to integrate the European electricity markets, I analyze the effects that...
