European electricity grid infrastructure expansion in a 2050 context

Egerer, Jonas; Gerbaulet, Clemens; Lorenz, Casimir - 2013

The European climate targets until 2050 require an adaptation of the generation portfolio in terms of renewable and fossil based generation. Assumptions on the timeline of the targets and the availability and costs of generation technologies are used in energy system models to optimize the cost...

Gone with the wind? : electricity market prices and incentives to invest in thermal power plants under increasing wind energy supply

Traber, Thure (contributor); Kemfert, Claudia (contributor) - 2009

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....

German nuclear phase-out policy : effects on European electricity wholesale prices, emission prices, conventional power plant investments and eletricity trade

Traber, Thure; Kemfert, Claudia - 2012

The German decision to finally phase-out nuclear electricity has led to a debate on its effects on electricity prices, emission prices in the European emission trading system, as well as on international electricity trade. We investigate these effects with a Electricity market model for Europe...

Corporate self-regulation vs. ex-ante regulation of network access : a model of the German gas sector

Meran, Georg (contributor); … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]

This paper compares the outcomes of corporate self-regulation and traditional ex-ante regulation of network access to … monopolistic bottlenecks. In the model of self-regulation, the domestic gas supplier and network owner and the monopsonistic gas …-ante regulation. We find that while industrial self-regulation leads to an exploitation of households, the effect on the foreign …

Semi-parametric measures of scale characteristics of German natural gas-fired electricity generation

Seifert, Stefan - 2016

Scale characteristics are key properties of production functions that determine optimal firm sizes, and have considerable policy implications for sectors undergoing restructuring. However, estimates of scale characteristics typically vary with the assumptions of the underlying empirical model....
