Over the past few years, registration figures of plug-in electric vehicles have increased rapidly in industrialized countries. This could cause considerable mid- to long-term effects on electricity markets. To tackle potential challenges specific to electric power systems, we develop a...

Decarbonization of the energy system is a major challenge for today’s energy system to combat climate change. This challenge is addressed in the EU through different political strategies and plans such as the European Green Deal, Fit-for-55, and REPowerEU, which set specific emission reduction...

A growing number of researchers have developed agent-based models to simulate the development of liberalized energy markets. As the field of energy market modelling with agent-based computational economics is very heterogeneous, the overview in this book might help interested researchers to get...

In diesem Buch wird ein Überblick über Methoden der Energiesystemanalyse gegeben, die am KIT weiterentwickelt und angewendet werden. Ziel dieses Tagungsbandes ist eine Bestandsaufnahme und Kompetenzdokumentation im Bereich der Energiesystemanalyse, die als Basis zur Ableitung von...

Energieszenarien sind ein wesentliches Mittel zur Entscheidungsunterstützung in Politik und Wirtschaft. Für Infrastrukturentscheidungen im Energiebereich sind lange Zeiträume geltend. Daher ist eine sorgfältige Analyse möglicher "Energiezukünfte" von hoher Bedeutung. In diesem Band finden...

The system integration of an increasing amount of electricity generation from decentralised renewable energy sources (RES-E) is a major challenge for the transition of the European power system. The feed-in profiles and the potential of RES-E vary along the geographical and temporal dimension...

Plug-in electric vehicles are seen as a promising option to reduce oil dependency, greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter pollution, nitrogen oxide emissions and noise caused by individual road transportation. But how is it possible to foster diffusion of plug-in electric vehicles? Our...

When substituting conventional with electric vehicles (EV) a high annual mileage is desirable from an environmental as well as an economic perspective. However, there are still significant technological limitations that need to be taken into consideration. This study presents and discusses five...

According to many governments electric vehicles are seen as an efficient mean to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions in the transport sector. However, the energy charged causes carbon dioxide emissions in the energy sector. This study demonstrates results from measuring time-dependent electricity...

Electric vehicles (EV) are often considered a promising technology to decrease external costs of road transport. Therefore, main external cost components are estimated for EV and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV). These include costs of accidents, air pollu-tion, climate change, noise,...
