FTR allocations to ease transition to nodal pricing : an application to the German power system
Kunz, Friedrich; Neuhoff, Karsten; Rosellón, Juan - 2014
A shift from zonal pricing to smaller zones and nodal pricing improves efficiency and security of system operation. Resulting price changes do however also shift profits and surplus between and across generation and load. As individual actorscan lose, they might oppose any reform. We explore how...

Two price zones for the German electricity market : market implications and distributional effects
Egerer, Jonas; Weibezahn, Jens; Hermann, Hauke - 2015
We discuss the implications of two price zones, i.e. one northern and southern bidding area, on the German electricity market. In the northern zone, continuous capacity additions with low variable costs cause large regional supply surpluses in the market dispatch while conventional capacity...

Power market design beyond 2020 : time to revisit key elements?
Neuhoff, Karsten; Rüster, Sophia; Schwenen, Sebastian - 2015
We revisit key elements of European power market design with respect to both short term operation and longer-term investment and re-investment choices. For short term markets, the European policy debate focuses on the definition of common interfaces, like for example gate closure time. We argue...
