Driven by climate change concerns, Europe has taken significant initiatives toward the decarbonization of its energy system. The European Commission (EC) set targets for 2030 to achieve at least 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with respect 1990 baseline level and cover 32% total consumption Union (EU) through renewable sources, predominantly wind solar generation. However, these technologies are inherently characterized high variability, limited predictability controllability, lack...
Thanks to new technological advancements and EU policy impulse, distributed energy resources (DER) are poised become a viable alternative conventional electricity generation for the provision of balancing services transmission system operators. In this paper we show that design variables affect DER access participation in organized market include different features auction configuration as well number formal, administrative technical aspects design. comparative case study markets Austria,...
The integration of renewable energy sources, including wind power, in the adequacy assessment electricity generation capacity becomes increasingly important as increases volume and replaces conventional power plants. contribution to cover demand is less certain than sources; therefore, value smaller that This article presents an overview challenge, how handled regulation adequacy, treated a selection jurisdictions. jurisdictions included are Sweden, Great Britain, France, Ireland, United...
Market-based procurement of balancing services in Europe is prone to strategic bidding due the relatively small market size and a limited number providers. In European Union, markets are undergoing substantial regulatory changes driven efforts harmonize design better align it with goals energy transition. It proposed decouple (real-time) from (forward) capacity price will be based on marginal bid. this paper, potential effects these participants' strategies analyzed using an agent-based...
The zonal electricity market design in the Central Western European relies on redispatching generation units after closure to manage congestion within bidding zones, while between zones is handled using flow-based coupling. combination of internal meshed network with a growing share renewables increases frequency and magnitude events limits cross-border trade. costs divergence grid physics markets lead welfare losses. This paper first propose an approach improve combined efficiency coupling...
Day-ahead electricity markets are inefficient due to their coarse discretisation of time and representation production consumption in energy per interval. This leads excessive costs infeasible schedules the market clearing results. Some real-world systems have increased resolution improve accuracy, but this comes at a high computational cost. We propose an alternative, based on using linear power trajectories day-ahead scheduling process, which represent momentary production. Changing from...
Electricity balancing is one of the main demanders short-term flexibility. To improve its integration, recent regulation European Union introduces a common standalone energy market. It allows actors that have not participated or been awarded in preceding capacity market to participate as voluntary bidders 'second-chance' bidders. We investigate effect these changes on efficiency and strategic behavior particular, using combination agent-based modelling reinforcement learning. This paper...
The aggregator has been touted as the key enabler of active engagement distributed energy resources and promises to contribute greater economic efficiency in European balancing markets by providing cheap sources flexibility. This paper presents an empirical analysis how aggregators organize themselves relation other market participants given rules impact thereof on their participation. We reviewed design influences choices comparing three countries, Austria, Germany Netherlands, light goals...
Increasing peaks from high-power loads such as EVs and heat pumps lead to congestion of electric distribution grids. The inherent flexibility these could be used resolve congestion. Possible options for this are smart network tariffs, market-based approaches direct control flexible by the operator. In contribution, we bridge gap between methods present an overarching framework design. We classify common proposals based on discuss their benefits risks. Finally, provide a mapping possible...
Residential distribution networks in Europe are undergoing rapid changes. As high-power flexible loads, such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers, become more prevalent, the risk of network congestion increases. This is exacerbated by tariff structures which do not give incentives to limit simultaneous power consumption. Network charges this case may reflect true costs usage, driven mainly load peaks.We present a systematic assessment new class tariffs that currently gaining attention...
Following the formulation of certain strategic policy goals, such as reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) and including more renewable sources (RES) part energy mix in several parts world, practical translation actual implementation these goals have led to introduction substantial volumes intermittent electric sources. Because affordable bulk storage for electricity is still lacking, demand supply need be (instantaneously) balanced. The resulting challenge that power pose controllability system...
Large controllable loads, such as electric vehicles, are increasingly penetrating electricity distribution feeders. To avoid local congestion, their consumption behaviour must be steered, for which a real-time price propagated down from the transmission system does not suffice, it reflect grid conditions. efficiently steer charging of EVs by multiple self-interested parties, we propose an auction framework accounts conditions, limited flexibility EVs, and uncertainty inherent to small-scale...
In order to cope with fluctuations and uncertainty, power systems rely on contracted reserves. The day-ahead Unit Commitment (UC) is the short-term planning process which commonly used schedule these resources at minimum cost, while operating system units within secure technical limits. This paper shows through evaluation of deterministic cases that conventional energy-based UC formulations lead inefficient use reserves in real-time operation deal completely known events. These decisions are...
DC distribution systems (DCDS) connect local generators and loads directly. By avoiding unnecessary losses in AC-DC conversion, DCDS offers higher energy efficiency. Since different parties a may have conflicting goals, matching between power supply demand should be done with carefully designed allocation rules monetary transfers, such that no one prefers to act otherwise than the outcome of allocation. This paper reveals DCDS' unique operational requirements indicates challenges...
The authors provide a critical analysis of existing approaches to balancing and congestion management (specifically redispatch) their effects on the incentives for service providers. This issue is particularly important in view harmonization ancillary procurement Europe, introduction cross-border markets cooperation management. There no universally established mechanism either two services. Based case studies Germany, France Netherlands an EU energy platforms, we derive three stylized...
The design of electricity markets may be facilitated by simulating actors' behaviors. Recent studies model human decision-makers within as agents which learn strategies that maximize expected profits. This work investigates the problem 'non-stationarity' in context market simulations, a with learning-algorithms used such results behaving irrationally, thus limiting studies' applicability to real-world strategic behavior. Isolating source for day-ahead market, this paper proposes methods...
