Capacity Remuneration Mechanisms (CRM) can be used in power markets to overtake marketfailures, reaching security of supply. However, investment in capacity is a dynamic process, thatdepends on the evolution of prices and costs overtime. In our paper we study the capacity remuneration value...

The modelling of energy systems often has to balance two aspects. High level of detail, e.g. technical constraints on the one hand and analysis of long-term system optimization on the other. When focusing on one of the two aspects, models can be solved in a reasonable time. In order to combine...

In this paper, we develop the game-theoretic electricity market model ElStorM that includes the possibility of strategic electricity storage. We apply the model to the German electricity market and analyze different realistic and counterfactual cases of strategic and non-strategic pumped hydro...

We analyze a market game where firms choose capacities under uncertainty about future market conditions and make output choices after uncertainty has unraveled. We show existence and uniqueness of equilibrium under imperfect competition and establish that capacity choices by strategic firms are...

This paper provides the technical background, describes the market design and its development as well as summarizes the market results of the German system reserve capacity market and the balancing energy mechanism, which are the key tools for required balancing the of the electricity system.

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...

In this paper, we design and evaluate eight different strategies for hedging commodity price risks of industrial cogeneration plants. Price developments are parameterized based on EEX data from 2008-2011. The probability distributions derived are used to determine the value-at-risk (VaR) of the...
