The economics of planning electricity transmission to accommodate renewables: Using two-stage optimisation to evaluate flexibility and the cost of disregarding uncertainty
Weijde, Adriaan Hendrik van der; Hobbs, Benjamin F. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 6, pp. 2089-2101
Aggressive development of renewable electricity sources will require significant expansions in transmission … infrastructure. We present a stochastic two-stage optimisation model that captures the multistage nature of transmission planning … transmission planner makes investment decisions in two time periods, each time followed by a market response. Uncertainty is …

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...

Let there be Light! Firms Operating under Electricity Constraints in Developing Countries
Alby, Philippe; Dethier, Jean-Jacques; Straub, Stéphane - Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) - 2011
Many developing countries are unable to provide their industrial sector with reliable electric power and many enterprises have to contend with insufficient and unreliable electricity supply. Because of these constraints, enterprises often opt for self-generation even though it is widely...

10 years after : long-term adoption of electricity in rural Rwanda
Masselus, Lise; Ankel-Peters, Jörg; Gonzalez Sutil, Gabriel - 2024
Extending the power grid into hitherto unconnected areas is high on the policy agenda in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, connection rates and electricity consumption remain low in grid connected areas, at least in the short and medium run. This paper provides a long-term follow-up on an evaluation of a...
