We examine the effects of future renewable expansion in Germany on residual load and renewable surplus generation for policy-relevant scenarios for 2022, 2032 and 2050. We also determine the storage capacities required for taking up renewable surpluses for varying levels of accepted curtailment....

Im Zuge der Energiewende werden die fluktuierenden erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland stark ausgebaut. Dadurch ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen für das Elektrizitätssystem. In diesem Beitrag wird zunächst dargestellt, welche Arten von Speichern und anderen Flexibilitätsoptionen...

I examine the effects of increasing amounts of fluctuating renewable energy on residual load, which is defined as the difference between actual power demand and the feed-in of non-dispatchable and inflexible generators. I draw on policy-relevant scenarios for Germany and make use of extensive...

We study the strategic utilization of storage in imperfect electricity markets. We apply a game-theoretic Cournot model to the German power market and analyze different counterfactual and realistic cases of pumped hydro storage. Our main finding is that both storage utilization and...

We develop a game-theoretic electricity market model that allows analyzing strategic electricity storage in an imperfect market setting. We apply the model to Germany and examine different cases of strategic and non-strategic pumped hydro storage operation. We find that introducing storage...

The Energiewende in Germany aims at increasing the share of fluctuating renewable energy drastically. With this, new challenges for the electricity system arise. Different types of storage and other flexibility options are available to cope with these challenges. This paper discusses different...
