Das deutsche Energiesystem befindet sich seit der Jahrtausendwende in einem tiefgreifenden Transformationsprozess, an dessen Ende die Klimaneutralität stehen soll. Um den Fortschritt dieser Transformation adäquat und zuverlässig beurteilen zu können, bedarf es geeigneter Indikatoren. Neben...

In Germany and beyond, various capacity mechanisms are currently being discussed with a view to improving the security of electricity supply. One of these mechanisms is a strategic reserve that retains generation capacity for use in times of critical supply shortage. We argue that strategic...

We develop a dispatch and investment model to study the role of power storage and other flexibility options in a greenfield setting with high shares of renewables. The model captures multiple system values of power storage related to arbitrage, dispatchable capacity, and reserves. In a baseline...

Mit Blick auf die energie- und klimapolitischen Ziele umfasst die deutsche Energiewende mehr als den Ausstieg aus der Atomtechnik, die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien bei der Stromproduktion. Sie schließt neben einer Stromwende auch eine Wärme- und...
