SUMMARY:Berlin Conference on Electricity Economics
DESCRIPTION:8.30 am - 6.30 pm  // Both Germany and Europe are on the path toward lower-carbon energy systems: In 2011 the German government has agreed on the transformation of the energy sector towards a sustainable energy system; the so called “energy turnaround” (“Energiewende”). Mastering the challenges associated with the energy turnaround is of special relevance as it involves a transformation of most parts of the infrastructure in the energy sector. On the supply side flexible conventional generation and power storage technologies might be important for the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. The transmission as well as the distribution network will have to be reshaped to meet the new conditions. Furthermore, demand side management and efficiency measures might be additional elements within this transformation process. Finally, the transformation of the energy sector will include a revision of the institutional setting in particular the market design to meet the challenges and to achieve an efficient integration of increasing shares of renewable energy. However, the transformation cannot be done in isolation on a national level and requires cooperation on a European level, which has identified an ambitious lower-carbon target in its “Energy Roadmap 2050” itself.The research project "Model-based analyses for the electricity sector design to favor the integration of renewable energies in the energy transformation" (MASMIE) is carried out by DIW Berlin in conjunction with German and international partners and funded by the Mercator Foundation (2012-2015). After numerous successful workshops within the MASMIE-project we want to continue the constructive dialogue and cordially invite you to our Berlin Conference on Electricity Economics - Modeling the Energy Transformation – Germany, Europe, and Beyond October 10, 2013DIW Berlin (Schumpeter Hall, Mohrenstraße 58, 10117 Berlin)The aim of this conference is to address the challenges of the transformation for the energy sector and to discuss them among researchers with some additional input from policy and industry. The scientific council of the conference consists of Pio Baake, Franz Hubert, Claudia Kemfert, Friedrich Kunz, Karsten Neuhoff, Thure Traber, Christian von Hirschhausen, representing DIW Berlin as well as Humboldt University and Berlin University of Technology. On the two days following topics will be addressed:European Market IntegrationMarket Design, Capacity InstrumentsCarbon MarketsGeneration and Transmission Network Pricing and Expansion Network RegulationFor more information about the MASMIE project please visit our project homepage. Registration is only with invitation possible.
