    Prosumage of Solar Electricity: Pros, Cons, and the System Perspective

    We examine the role of prosumage of solar electricity, i.e. PV self-generation combined with distributed storage, in the context of the low-carbon energy transformation. First, we devise a qualitative account of arguments in favor of and against prosumage. Second, we give an overview of prosumage in Germany. Prosumage will likely gain momentum as support payments expire for an increasing share of PV ...

    Coordinating Cross-Country Congestion Management

    We employ a detailed two-stage model to simulate the operation of the Central Eastern European electricity market and network. Implementing different cases of coordination in congestion management between national transmission system operators, numerical results show the beneficial impact of closer cooperation. Specific steps comprise the sharing of network and dispatch information, cross-border counter-trading, ...

    A Greenfield Model to Evaluate Long-Run Power Storage Requirements for High Shares of Renewables

    We develop a dispatch and investment model to study the role of power storage and other flexibility options in a greenfield setting with high shares of renewables. The model captures multiple system values of power storage related to arbitrage, dispatchable capacity, and reserves. In a baseline scenario, we find that power storage requirements remain moderate up to a renewable share of around 80%, ...

    Network Expansion to Mitigate Market Power: How Increased Integration Fosters Welfare

    Lack of transmission capacity hampers the integration of the European electricity market, and thereby precludes reaping the full benefits of competition. We investigate the extent to which transmission grid expansion promotes competition, efficiency and welfare. This work proposes a three-stage model for grid investment: a benevolent planner decides on network upgrades, considering welfare benefits ...

    The Benefit of Coordinating Congestion Management in Germany

    The management of congestion within the German electricity transmission network has become more important during the last years. This emerging relevance is caused by the increase of renewable generation and the partial phaseout of nuclear power plants. Both developments yield a change in the transmission flow pattern and thus the need for congestion management. Currently, four German transmission system ...

    Wind Power: Mitigated and Imposed External Costs and Other Indirect Economic Effects

    Since the 1990s, (onshore) wind power has become an important technology for electricity generation throughout the world. The economic rationale is the mitigation of negative externalities of conventional technologies, in particular emissions from fossil fuel combustion. However, wind power itself is not free of externalities. Wind turbines are alleged visual and noise impacts as well as threats to ...

    Quantifying the Externalities of Renewable Energy Plants Using Wellbeing Data: The Case of Biogas

    Although there is strong support for renewable energy plants, they are often met with local resistance. We quantify the externalities of renewable energy plants using well-being data. We focus on the example of biogas, one of the most frequently deployed technologies besides wind and solar. To this end, we combine longitudinal household data with novel panel data on more than 13, 000 installations ...

    Sowing the Wind and Reaping the Whirlwind? The Effect of Wind Turbines on Residential Well-Being

    We investigate the effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential well-being in Germany, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and a unique novel panel data set on more than 20,000 wind turbines for the time period between 2000 and 2012. Using a Geographical Information System (GIS), we calculate the proximity between households and the nearest wind turbine as ...

    Essays in Electricity Economics: Empirical, Numerical and Theoretical Perspectives on Renewable Energy and Cross-Border Integration

    Zwei Entwicklungen auf europäischen Elektrizitätsmärkten sind von besonderer Bedeutung: Der großflächige Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien und eine immer engere Verflechtung über Grenzen hinweg. Beide Entwicklungen bergen große Wohlfahrtspotenziale, ziehen aber auch Herausforderungen für Fragen der Integration nach sich. Diese Dissertation leistet einen Beitrag zum ökonomischen Verständnis dieser doppelten ...
