In electricity markets around the world, the substantial increase of intermittent renewable electricity generation has intensified concerns about generation adequacy, ultimately driving the implementation of capacity remuneration mechanisms. Although formally technology-neutral, substantial...

Die Verbreitung der Elektromobilität im Individualverkehr wird derzeit politisch gefördert, da sie als eine Maßnahme zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen gesehen wird. Neben elektrisch angetriebenen Pkw bringen Automobilhersteller zunehmend auch elektrische Zweiräder auf den Markt. Diese...

This paper provides a review on modeling electricity markets with System Dynamics (SD) focusing on deregulated electricity market models. First the SD method is classified within the wide field of electricity market modeling. Then all distinctive properties of the SD method in this context are...

Main challenges within the energy system of tomorrow are more volatile, less controllable and at the same time more decentralized electricity generation. Furthermore, the increasing research and development activities on electric vehicles (EV) make a significant share of electric vehicles within...

Currently, most photovoltaic (PV) modules are aligned in a way that maximizes the overall annual yields, which leads to significant peaks in electricity production and could threaten energy policy objectives such as security of supply as well as environmental sustainability. The exploitation of...

Ambitionierte europäische und nationale Zielvorgaben in der Energiepolitik führen in den letzten Jahren zu einem Umbruch der Energiewirtschaft, der vor allem durch den Ausbau von erneuerbaren Energien geprägt ist. Die Charakteristika dieser Energieträger bedingen, dass ihre Erschließung...

Detailed information about the potentials and costs of renewable energies is an important input factor for energy system models, as well as commercial and political decision-making processes. With its increasing locally installed capacity and hub height, wind energy plays an important role when...

Different field trials and corresponding acceptance studies with new technologies have been carried out between 2010 and 2013 at the Chair of Energy Economics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Those involved Electric Vehicle (EV) users, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed...

Der BMBF Wettbewerb „Energieeffiziente Stadt“ gibt fünf Städten in Deutschland die Gelegenheit, ihre jeweiligen Konzepte zur Steigerung der städtischen Energieeffizienz umzusetzen. Zur Beherrschung der Komplexität werden dabei verschiedene Methoden und Modelle eingesetzt. Dieser Beitrag...
