Download or read book Environmental Security of the European Cross Border Energy Supply Infrastructure written by M.G. Culshaw and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current volume provides examples of how environmental hazards such as landslides, earthquakes, mountain processes, cold climate processes and tidal flows and currents can affect the energy supply infrastructure. In times of uncertainty, the security of the European cross-border energy supply infrastructure, such as pipelines, has great importance. Whilst the potential effects of political disagreement, economic inequalities and social differences are relatively well understood, the impact of environmental change is often poorly appreciated by decision-makers. New approaches have been examined for monitoring of hazardous landslide processes, including early warning systems, and near-real-time 3D data processing and visualization. The scientific problems of environmental systems design have been discussed and approaches for their implementation have been suggested. New integrated remote sensing techniques consisting mainly of hyperspectral and radar imagery are presented together with the processing of monitoring data using GIS techniques and, in particular, dynamic visualization. Attention is also given to conceptual issues of environmental and energy security and the role of education, to help resolve environmental problems through cooperation in the development of the European energy supply infrastructure.
Download or read book A harmonized European electricity balancing market Incorporation of congestion management into cross border reserve procurement written by Pavlina Popova and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich VWL - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Chair for Management Science), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The thesis is structured as follows. Section 2 gives an overview of the current electricity market design and Section 3 integrates the balancing market in the framework and presents the economical and technical conditions, including the relevant design variables. Section 4 describes the benefits from cross-border coordination in reserve markets and introduces possible integration models. Within Section 5, model requirements are formulated and one suitable model is selected. Section 6 presents the selected methodology and Section 7 gives the obtained case study. Section 8 evaluates the model and discusses the proposed expansion involving the flow-based approach. Lastly, Section 9 concludes and gives further research prospects. European electricity markets have changed profoundly in the last decades. In national markets increased deregulation and privatization have accompanied the decoupling of transmission, distribution and generation activities. Simultaneously, markets in Europe are becoming more interconnected and harmonized. Until now, the focus was primarily set on the harmonization and integration of spot and forward markets. Nonetheless, the short-term regulation of flexible short-term operating reserves within the balancing market is gaining attention in academia and industry, especially due to the increased penetration of intermitted renewables, which leads to more short-term deviation in the power grid and hence to operational uncertainty. Corresponding to the zonal nature of the European power market, today’s operating reserve markets are mainly organized on a national level. Within a European cross-border balancing market, however, Transmission System Operators could coordinate their balancing activities with other control areas. Such cross-border balancing markets increase social welfare and operational reliability, since the amount of reserves required could be decreased through spatial smoothing of imbalances and the costs of reserve procurement and activation can be reduced. Nevertheless, cross-border reserve markets are constrained by the available cross-border transmission capacity. Therefore, a challenging issue is to account properly for network constraints, especially within the procurement of reserves, which happens before real-time and under uncertainty as neither the remaining cross-border capacity nor the activation status of the procured reserves is known.
Download or read book Cross Border Integration of Renewable Energy Systems written by Venkatachalam Anbumozhi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border energy trade and integration of renewable energy have become significant for countries and regions to meet demands, minimize costs, and foster socio-economic and climate stability in the dynamic and unstable energy market. This book explores different models of global energy trade between regions and their benefits and challenges with a special focus on India’s Northeast region. Countries in South and Southeast Asia are endowed with abundant renewable energy resources. This book examines the energy mix of the countries such as India, Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Bhutan among others and their efforts to achieve more integrated markets and renewable energy integration in the region. It highlights the potential of Northeast India given its rich natural resources and strategic location to harness the potential cross-border energy trade with ASEAN countries. The volume provides analytical perspectives on drivers, constraints, opportunities and barriers, as well as measures that countries could take to address institutional, financial, policy, and governance issues to minimize the total costs of energy security and maximize the social-economic benefits for people in these regions. It identifies the necessary conditions – grid flexibility, policy, market, and regulatory solutions for clean energy trade – and contributes to growth of low-carbon development as well as policy making by focusing on renewable energy integration across borders. This volume will be of interest to students and researchers of energy and climate studies, environmental politics, trade, and economics and international relations.

Download or read book Cross Border Renewable Energy Transitions written by Philippe Hamman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-26 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intrinsically multiscale issue of renewable energy transition from a local, national and transnational perspective, and provides insights into current developments in the Upper Rhine Region that can serve as an international model. Organised around the exploration of stakeholder issues, the volume first describes a framework for public action and modelling and then articulates a triple complementary focus from the viewpoint of law, economics and sociology. This multidisciplinary approach is anchored in the social sciences, but also explores the ways in which technological issues are increasingly debated in the implementation of the ecological transition. With a focus on the Upper Rhine Region of France, Germany and Switzerland, the contributions throughout analyse how concrete regional projects emerge, and whether they are carried out by local authorities, private energy groups, network associations or committed citizens. From this, it appears that real-world energy transition modes can be best understood as permanent transactional processes involving institutional regulations, economic levers and barriers and social interactions. This book will be of interest to advanced students and scholars focusing on renewable energy transition, stakeholder issues, environment and sustainability studies, as well as those who are interested in the methodological aspects of the social sciences, especially within the fields of sociology, law, economy, geography, political science, urbanism and planning.

Download or read book Swiss Energy Governance written by Peter Hettich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book gathers the results of an interdisciplinary research project led by the Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research (SCCER CREST) and jointly implemented by several universities. It identifies political, economic and legal challenges and opportunities in the energy transition from a governance perspective by exploring a variety of tools that allow state, non-state and transnational actors to manage the transition of the energy industry toward less fossil-fuel reliance. When analyzing the roles of these actors, the authors examine not only formal procedures such as political and democratic processes, but also market behavior and societal practices. In other words, the handbook focuses on both the behavior and the positive and normative frameworks of political actors, bureaucracies, courts, international organizations, lobby groups, civil society, economic actors and individuals. The authors subsequently use their findings to formulate specific guidelines for lawmakers and other rule-makers, as well as private and public actors. To do so, they draw on approaches stemming from the legal, political and management sciences.

Focusing mainly on the European Union as a case study, this holistic and comprehensive analysis of the existing legal and geopolitical instruments strives to identify the shortcomings of the international and EU energy trade governance systems, concluding with the notion of a European Energy Union and what the EU is politically prepared to accept as part of its unified energy security.
Download or read book Cross border Transmission Capacity Calculation written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An efficient internal electricity market is of paramount importance in Europe to ensure that all consumers can purchase electricity at an affordable price while maintaining security of energy supply. The way the transmission capacity is allocated, and the way congestions are managed, play key roles in the functioning of the internal electricity market. In 2015, the European Commission established a "guideline on capacity allocation and congestion management" through the Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1222. This guideline relies on the concept of bidding zones, that are geographical areas within which market participants can exchange energy without capacity allocation and recommends the use of the flow-based approach as the primary approach to calculate and allocate transmission capacity between bidding zones in both the day-ahead and the intraday market timeframes. Although the flowbased approach is currently only used in the Central West European (CWE) region (since May 2015), it will become a cornerstone of the internal electricity market in the near future. It will be thus of paramount importance to guarantee that the flow-based approach supports effectively an efficient electricity market. However, it does not seem to be yet fully the case in the CWE region. Indeed, the capacity of several critical network elements allocated to the market is still very low, mainly because internal flows from domestic trade and loop flows have priority access to the grid, and because large reliability margins are used. Furthermore, in the past, the available capacity was further reduced on several critical network elements due to the use of adjustment values supposed to represent complex grid constraints. In that context, this study analyzes the key parameters currently used in the capacity calculation methodologies for some of the current European capacity calculation regions and provides an analysis about the trends driving their evolution. Although the information communicated by TSOs to market participants and regulators appears to be incomplete to fully understand key constraints impacting the electricity market, this study establishes two main key facts. First, in the Nordic countries the level of loop flows, internal flows and residual flows due to exchanges with countries outside that region is not negligible but appears to be much lower than the one in the CWE region. Second, although reliability margins taken in the CWE region appear to be in the upper range of European practices and are significantly above the Nordic region, they did not drastically increase with the introduction of the FB market coupling, but the level of risk used to compute these values is not always fully transparent and can also be questioned. Additionally, it must be emphasized that the FB market in the CWE region is strongly driven by the application of an LTA-patch aiming at including longterm cross-border transmission capacity rights in a FB domain, which initially considered that capacity allocation as unsafe. The lack of transparency about the process leads to an uncertainty about the capacity really allocated to the market on several key transmission elements. Similarly, the TSOs use final adjustment values to modify the capacity given to the market, but there is a lack of transparency about the way these values are obtained. This study concludes on the expected future evolution of the capacity calculation methodologies and parameters. The capacity calculation methodology for the Core region, resulting from the merging of the CWE region with the Central East European (CEE) region exhibits major improvements compared to the current flow-based approach in the CWE region, in terms of transparency and for the design of the LTA patch. However, the calculation of the intraday capacity based on an updated model, which is a key to obtain an efficient market, will be implemented only in 2021. On the Nordic side, it is surprising that the use of negative RAMs is not seen as a problem. Furthermore, it is surprising to observe that the risk levels chosen in the different capacity calculation regions for the reliability margins are different. On a more positive tone, it must also be noted that the evolution of the maximum allowable power flow calculation methods should lead to an increased offered transmission capacity to the market. For that purpose, flexible and dynamic line rating calculations should be implemented to limit too conservative Fmax ratings. Similarly, the update of the capacity that can be allocated to the market in the intraday timeframe will allow a reduction of reliability margins close to real-time.

This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ``The monograph shows the level of ambition of climate goals set by the United Nations or the European Union. The authors also present the organizational and economic possibilities in terms of changes in the energy sector in Poland and Ukraine. Activities in the renewable energy segment alone, which are of a quantitative nature, may prove to be insufficient. Other modern systems and fuels must also be managed and developed. Governance in the energy sector should have a technological dimension in terms of activities and cooperation between market participants. The authors rightly note that with the progressive development of new technologies and the right strategy, the state is able to significantly improve the energy segment as a sector and increase its own energy security. Observing the complexity of the analyzed issues, an important element should be to adopt a broad perspective of the analysis.

Download or read book Power Interconnection in Southeast Asia written by Anthony David Owen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an analysis of multilateral power markets, this book examines power interconnection in Southeast Asia, especially among the ASEAN countries. It uses evolutionary experience of electricity interconnection and trade in three international markets that have relevance for ASEAN to draw upon common global themes. Specifically, it compares the Southern African Power Pool, the European grid, and Nord Pool. Discussing the progress made among ASEAN countries in regional energy integration, with a particular focus on the Greater Mekong Sub-region interconnection, it also examines the recently announced interconnection concept between Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Exploring the challenges facing ASEAN interconnection of power grids in the context of previous experience elsewhere in the world, this book presents a template for appropriate best practice in terms of technical, political, and financial requirements. It will therefore be of value to decision makers interested in the political economy of energy in Southeast Asia, as well as academics working on Energy Politics and Southeast Asian Politics.

Download or read book Regulation of Energy Markets written by Machiel Mulder and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explains the main economic mechanisms behind energy markets and assesses how governments can implement policies to improve these markets’ performance. Adopting a microeconomic perspective, it systematically analyses the various types of market failures on the electricity and gas markets as well as coal, oil, hydrogen and heat markets in order to identify government policies that can improve welfare. Critical factors in this regard include the natural monopoly and the public-goods character of energy infrastructures; market power structures resulting from inflexibility of supply and demand; international trade restrictions; negative externalities concerning the use of fossil energy; positive externalities concerning innovative new energy technologies; information asymmetries with regard to the product characteristics of energy commodities; and other public concerns, such as energy poverty. In turn, readers will learn about various measures that governments can use to address these market failures, including incentive regulations for electricity grids; international integration of wholesale energy markets; environmental regulatory measures like emissions trading schemes; subsidy schemes for new technologies; green-energy certificate schemes; and energy taxes. This second, updated and expanded edition addresses recent developments in international energy markets that have resulted in extremely high prices and concerns about the markets’ ability to provide a secure energy supply. Further, it examines several countries’ intensified measures to implement the transition to a low-carbon energy system. Given its scope, the book will appeal to upper-undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines who want to learn more about the economics and regulation of energy systems and markets. “Given Mulder’s experience in government and academia, he provides a novel contribution to the literature by systematically analyzing different types of market failures and potential remedies offered by economic theory. Overall, Mulder’s textbook should be a valuable reference for students and energy policy analysts.” (J. Wesley Burnett, The Energy Journal, Vol. 43, Number 3)
