Auch im zweiten Jahr nach dem Kernkraftwerksmoratorium vom März 2011 bleibt die Lage im deutschen Stromübertragungsnetz stabil. Auch wenn die Realisierung einiger Ausbauprojekte um einige Jahre hinter dem ursprünglichen Zeitplan liegt, schreitet der Netzumbau kontinuierlich voran. Bei einigen...

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...

Flexibly coupling power and heat sectors may contribute to both renewable energy integration and decarbonization. We present a literature review of modelbased analyses in this field, focusing on residential heating. We compare geographical and temporal research scopes and identify...

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...

We investigate the effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential well-being in Germany, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and a unique novel panel data set on more than 20,000 wind turbines for the time period between 2000 and 2012. Using a...

Mit welchen konkreten Klimaschutzinstrumenten können die Sektor-Klimaziele des Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetzes im Jahr 2030 erreicht werden? Wie können die im Projektionsbericht 2021 identifizierten Lücken geschlossen werden? Das ⁠Szenario⁠ KIS-2030 wurde mit der instrumentenbasierten...

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 the second year after the shutdown of seven nuclear power plants in March 2011, the situation of the German high voltage electricity transmission grid remained robust. Even though some expansion projects are behind schedule, the grid reconstruction advances steadily as several essential lines...

The German energy transition makes it necessary to increase flexibility in the electricity system. Different forms of power storage may play a part in this, yet there is competition with other options on the production or demand side. In the short term, the further expansion of electricity...
