This paper introduces a theoretical market framework (TMF) for conceptualizing and designing electricity markets, integrating transmission system operator distribution (TSO–DSO) coordination mechanisms. The TMF represents comprehensive tool that formalizes new, innovative concepts their impact on existing outlines fundamental categories decisions essential to design. paper, through the TMF, addresses integration challenges posed by new mechanisms services. Utilizing study maps 13 European...
A non-linear programming model was developed to maximize the economic profit from an anaerobic co-digester. The consists of a combination technical and equations, linked through biogas production variable. Five scenarios were simulated. These differed with regard substrate inlet mass flow rate, organic loading rate hydraulic retention time. impact on investigated analysis undertaken based concepts profitability Net Present Value. results indicate that varying could have positive co-digesters...
Historically concentrated livestock production and, consequently, manure and management in Belgium have resulted severe environmental impacts. One major impact, nitrate leaching from soil to surface water, is being tackled through the European Nitrates Directive by imposing strict fertilization standards. However, another significant impact of emission greenhouse gasses (GHG - CO2, CH4, NH3 N2O) into air, thereby contributing global warming. Calls been made reduce high pressure related...
In view of the current nuclear power debate in Belgium, we analyze how uncertainty about a phase-out, coupled with implementation renewable energy subsidies and taxes, affects investment capacity productivity decisions by Belgian electricity suppliers. To achieve this goal, considering key characteristics market, build Stackelberg closed-loop (two-stage) equilibrium model which are made first stage under regarding subsequently second certainty environment. Our analysis indicates that,...
