To date, the distributive implications of incentive regulation on electricity transmission networks have not been explicitly studied in the literature. More specifically, the parameters that a regulator might use to achieve distributive efficiency under price-cap regulation have not yet been...

The increased wind energy supplied to many electricity markets around the world has to be balanced by reliable back up units or other complementary measures when wind conditions are low. At the same time wind energy impacts both, the utilization of thermal power plants and the market prices....

This paper analyzes the trade-offs for using feed-in tariffs or tenders to remunerate different scales of solar … photovoltaics (PV) projects. In recent years, European countries increasingly combined feed-in tariffs for small renewables systems …-in tariffs and tenders for PV plants with their dynamic cost trends. To assess deployment effectiveness, an analytic model is …

We analyze the properties of progressive water tariffs that are often applied in the sector in the form of discretely … increasing block tariffs (IBT). We are particularly interested in water tarification in a poverty context where a subsistence … data from Bangladesh: progressive tariffs may fail to achieve "fair" cross-subsidization of low-income groups …

on both the supply and demand side. Crops are stochastic and exporting countries can impose export tariffs to protect … domestic food prices. Our first results is that export tariffs are strategic complements and that for poor harvests equilibrium … tariffs can explode (shedding some light on recent volatility in world food prices). We also show that the strategic interplay …

This paper analyzes the influence of wind turbines as new participants on prices and allocation within balancing markets. We introduce the cost-minimizing electricity sector model ELMOD-MIP, that includes detailed unit-commitment constraints, complex combined heat and power constraints, and...

This paper expands the discussion about future balancing reserve provision to the long-term perspective of 2050. Most pathways for a transformation towards a decarbonized electricity sector rely on very high shares of fluctuating renewables. This can be a challenge for the provision of balancing...

Based on a life-cycle sustainability assessment and the calculation of carbon abatement costs, we quantify the greenhouse-gas emission reductions and costs if green waste in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany, is diverted from composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized...
