High daytime electricity demand from space cooling synergetic with predictable and reliable solar insolation creates a unique opportunity to exploit solar PV-enabled decarbonization solutions in Qatar. This paper examines the economic viability of combining utility-scale PV with ice thermal and...

A weather-driven model is used to investigate the requirements for the backup generation (annual energy, power capacity and flexibility) in a power system with different penetrations of wind, solar photovoltaics, and hydroelectricity. The impact of interannual variability is assessed by using 26...

This paper surveys the literature relevant for comparing centralized and decentralized wholesale electricity markets. Under a centralized design, producers submit detailed cost data to the system operator the day before delivery, who then decides how much to produce for each generation unit....

Renewable electricity procurement auctions (RE auctions) have received much attention for their potential efficiency in reducing the cost of support levels associated with renewable electricity (RE). However, very little attention has been paid to their impact on financing costs. This is...

As Bangladesh's economy expands, the country has experienced severe power crises over the decades. With the Government's effective implementation of policies, the country has shown remarkable progress in energy sector recently. Even though various initiatives have been undertaken to improve...

Beijing's power system has experienced a significant transition by eliminating coal-fired power generation and increasing the extent of electrification over the past two decades. This study uses a plant-level dataset, pair-wise energy flow, and customized index decomposition analysis to...
