Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity generation from renewable energy sources is growing rapidly. This has resulted in lower wholesale electricity prices, but has also reduced the use of conventional generation technologies, such as coal and gas, because renewable energy generally has lower running costs. Declining demand, lower prices and lower utilisation rates have all reduced the profitability of conventional electricity generation. At the same time, flexible conventional technologies continue to play a very important role: the growing share of renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy, the output of which varies with weather conditions and from daytime to night time, requires flexible energy systems, including reliable back-up capacity, that can take the form of conventional generation, demand-response or storage, to ensure security of supply at all times.

Download or read book Environmental Policy Instruments in Liberalized Energy Markets written by Michael Rodi and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from an international, interdisciplinary and integrative perspective, the Summer Academy "Energy and the Environment" aims at elaborating and discussing different approaches to a sustainable supply of energy. Aside from traditional themes of environmental policy, such as the conservation of natural resources and a sectoral focus, attention is increasingly converging on the prevention of global climate change. Feasible solutions can only be developed by way of international cooperation, with close collaboration between different academic disciplines and representatives of science, policy, interest groups and the private sector. This collection of essays, titled "Instruments of Environmental Policy in Liberalized Energy Markets," addresses the fundamental challenge of assembling a suitable mix of instruments to ensure sustainable energy policies. The individual contributions draw on economics, political science and the law to identify central features of a sustainable energy sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores three topics that are central to a low-carbon development path for India, namely, the Indian natural gas market, grid integration of renewable energy, and energy efficiency programs. In the first part of the thesis, the effect of price liberalization on the natural gas market is analyzed by developing a mixed complementarity model. Gas prices in the liberalized market are found to be significantly higher than the government regulated prices under the status quo. However, the liberalized market is found to overcome the prevailing gas shortages in the country and improve total welfare. Irrespective of the gas pricing policy, imported liquefied natural gas is found to be a significant part of the supply mix in the future. Inadequate investments in gas pipelines can lead to network congestion and price spikes. Gas pipeline infrastructure would, therefore, be the key to developing an efficient gas market. Finally, the present formula for sharing profits of domestic gas producers with the government is found to incentivize inefficient investments in gas exploration and production. The second part of the thesis tests the feasibility of integrating large scale renewable energy projects into the electricity grid using the state of Delhi as a case study. Wind resources from the state of Tamilnadu were found to have a very high seasonal and diurnal correlation with electricity demand in Delhi. Solar energy from the state of Rajasthan is found to have a complementary seasonal profile to that of wind power from Tamilnadu. Simulation of the optimal grid dispatch shows that integration of wind and solar power is feasible at modest incremental costs. However, regional coordination for planning transmission investments is a must. The third part of the thesis analyzes the effect on utility finances and consumer tariffs of implementing utility-funded demand-side energy efficiency (EE) programs using the state of Delhi as a case study. The impacts are examined by developing scenarios for (a) incentive mechanisms for mitigating the financial risk of utilities, (b) the share of utility funding in total program costs, (c) the sale of conserved electricity into the spot market and (d) the level of power shortages utilities are facing. Although the average consumer tariff would increase only modestly, consumers participating in EE programs would benefit from a reduction in their electricity consumption. While utility incentive mechanisms can mitigate the utilities' risk of losing long-run returns, they cannot address the risk of a consistently negative cash flow. In case of power shortages, the cash flow risk is significantly amplified. It is found to be very sensitive to marginal tariffs of consumers facing power shortages.

This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic overview of transmission network investment in liberalized power markets. Recent government policies to increase the share of intermittent renewable power generation and other technological innovations present new theoretical as well as practical challenges for transmission investments. Written by experts with a background in both economics and engineering, the book examines the economic and technical fundamentals of regulated and merchant transmission investment, and includes case studies of transmission investment in a number of countries. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 introduces the basic economics and engineering of transmission network investment, while Part 2 discusses merchant investment in the transmission network. Part 3 then examines transmission investment coordination and smart grids, and lastly, Part 4 describes practical experiences of transmission network investment in power market in various countries.

Download or read book Harnessing Renewable Energy in Electric Power Systems written by Boaz Moselle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting its reliance on fossil fuels, the electric power industry produces the majority of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The need for a revolution in the industry becomes further apparent given that 'decarbonization' means an increasing electrification of other sectors of the economy in particular, through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the options for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to policymakers, as it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and the creation of new industries and jobs, without the safety and political concerns of nuclear power or the unproven technology of carbon capture and storage. Drawing on both economic theory and the experiences of the United States and EU member states, Harnessing Renewable Energy addresses the key questions surrounding renewable energy policies. How appropriate is the focus on renewable power as a primary tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? If renewable energy is given specific support, what form should that support take? What are the implications for power markets if renewable generation is widely adopted? Thorough and well-evidenced, this book will be of interest to a broad range of policymakers, the electric power industry, and economists who study energy and environmental issues.

Download or read book Renewable Resources for Electric Power written by Raphael Edinger and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2000-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The liberalization of U.S. and European electric power markets presents a critical challenge for renewable sources of energy. Edinger and Kaul survey the technological state-of-the-art and economic aspects of renewable electricity generation, and outline the role of other renewable sources, such as solar, wind, and micro-hydroelectric technologies. Offering an empirical and theoretical assessment of these technologies and their assets and liabilities, the book shows how it is possible to restructure our electric power systems and reorient them toward sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. International climate conferences such as those in Rio de Janeiro and Kyoto have proclaimed the need for environmentally hospitable technologies. A new electricity system, based on renewable resources and small-scale power technologies, is needed badly; their economics and other efficiencies over conventional central power generation with fossil fuels is clear. Edinger and Kaul assess the rewards and risks associated with renewable technologies and outline a feasible path toward a more environmentally friendly, and reasonable, use of limited natural resources and the global ecosystem. One promising approach for industrialized countries is the decentralization of our current public grid systems. This offers an opportunity for developing countries to leapfrog the stage of fossil fuel, held responsible now for environmental pollution, resource depletion and possibly global climate change. The authors present theoretical analyses and empirical evidence to buttress their contentions, mainly, that electric power systems founded on renewable resources are vital prerequisites if we are to achieve the United Nations' target of globally sustained development.
