Mitigating climate change will require integrating large amounts of highly intermittent renewable energy (RE) sources in future electricity markets. Considerable uncertainties exist about the cost and availability large-scale storage to alleviate potential mismatch between demand supply. This paper examines suitability regulatory (public policy) mechanisms for coping with volatility induced by RE sources, using a numerical equilibrium model wholesale market. We find that optimal subsidies...
Natural gas plays an important role in the future development of electricity markets, as it is least emission-intensive fossil generation option and additionally provides needed plant operating flexibility to deal with intermittent renewable generation. As both natural market rely on networks, congestion one may lead changes other. In addition, investment impacts other extent that these investments even become substitutes for each another. The objective this paper develop a dynamic model...
This paper assesses the macroeconomic and sectoral impacts of “Clean Air Policy Package” proposed by European Commission in December 2013. The analysis incorporates both expenditures necessary to implement policy 2030 resulting positive feedback effects on human health crop production. A decomposition identifies important drivers impacts. We show that while expenditure pollution abatement is a cost for abating sectors, it also generates an increased demand sectors produce goods required...
Carbon taxes are commonly seen as a rational policy response to climate change, but little is known about their performance from an ex-post perspective. This paper analyzes the emissions and cost impacts of UK CPS, carbon tax levied on all fossil-fired power plants. To overcome problem missing control group, we propose novel approach for evaluation which leverages economic theory machine learning techniques counterfactual prediction. Our results indicate that in period 2013-2016 CPS lowered...
The addition of stochastic renewable resources within modern electricity markets creates a need for more flexible generation assets and appropriate mechanisms to ensure capacity adequacy. To assess both these issues, cross-platform analysis is needed that can evaluate short-term reliability concerns, medium-term dispatch price long-term expansion market design concerns. We present an integrated modeling framework combines investment model, robust model the energy market, detailed AC network...
The European Union (EU) has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions until the year 2030 by 55% compared 1990.Recently, EU institutions decided introduce a new Emission Trading System for road transport, buildings and fuels additional sectors (ETS2) in addition current ETS.Contested design features were split of carbon budget between ETS remaining regulated under Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR), price level ETS2.Conducting multi-model assessment, we find that agreed allocation ESR...
Given the ambitious goal of European Union to achieve CO2 emission reduction, support renewable energies, and increased energy efficiency a portfolio different policies is going be implemented or already in place member states. These instruments have at least partly overlapping objectives; thus, high degree interaction expected. In this paper we analyze how EU ETS mechanisms influence one another. We apply static open economy computable general equilibrium (CGE) model Germany incorporating...
