    On the market where prospective renters meet dwelling offers, competitive forces and rational behavior on both sides would imply that the monthly basic rent should reflect differences in expected monthly heating costs – other things being equal. We test this hypothesis by specifying a hedonic price model reflecting a total-cost-of-renting perspective. Drawing on 844,229 apartment listings for rent from 2014 to 2020 on a small spatial scale, we find a premium for more energy-efficient apartments; however, it is rather small. If the energy performance score decreases by 10 kWh/m2a, the monthly basic rent increases, on average, by roughly €0.01 per square meter living area. The expected energy cost savings thereby exceed the premium by a factor of three to seven. Rather, we find discounts of up to 9.2 % if apartments use heating technologies that are known to be inefficient. We explore various explanations for these outcomes, considering both landlord and renter behavior.

In: 27th Internat. Conf. on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2023) (2023). doi:10.1049/icp.2023.1138Full textCitationDetails

    Distribution grids are more and more penetrated by decentralized, flexible units. For this reason, aspects of active system operation become increasingly relevant there. The management of many active units on the lower voltage network levels is a challenge that requires improved data communication and multi-energy-system operation management. In this work, we propose a common data layer for different generic technology models that can be used in a standardized manner to depict energy consumption, generation, and conversion. The technology models allow to compute system operation points or dispatch schedules for different stakeholders related to distribution grids e.g., system operators.

    With energy generation becoming increasingly decentralized, the need for congestion management across grid voltage levels is also increasing. To enable fair sharing of congestion costs among grid operators, these costs must be allocated to congested grid elements. We propose using the Shapley value for this purpose. The Shapley value is a cooperative game theory concept that was developed to share a total surplus generated by a coalition of players between the players based on their marginal contributions to the coalition. We apply this concept to share the costs of congestion management between grid elements based on their contributions to overall congestion management costs. To reduce the computational complexity of the Shapley value, we introduce two novel simplification approaches and compare them to existing methods using a numerical example based on CIGRE benchmark grids. The first method exploits the fact that the characteristic function for the congestion costs is obtained from an optimal power flow computation (i.e., a constrained optimization problem). It utilizes knowledge about which constraints are non-binding in the optimization to derive the values of related coalitions without calculating them. The second method takes advantage of the fact that the congestion management cost-allocation game is monotone and derives the values of coalitions based on this property. Both methods are implemented and compared to sampling. Using the first method, we are able to reduce computational complexity to less than 20% of that of the original problem while maintaining exact results. Our second approach is not dependent on detailed knowledge of the underlying optimization problem and can reduce the computational time by almost half with exact results and much further when compromising precision. While the methods are presented through an application example, they can be applied to other games with similar properties.

      The future transformation of the European electricity system will be strongly influenced by both an ongoing
      integration of variable renewable energy sources (VREs) and an increased proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs).
      This combination will cause considerable uncertainty, especially since EV diffusion may greatly vary regarding
      both the spatio-temporal penetration pattern and the achievable flexibility level. Notably, power plant investment
      in the long run and dispatch in the short run will be affected. Hence, this paper assesses the impact of EV
      penetration on the integration of VREs and the costs of CO2 emission reduction as well as the necessary investments
      in controllable plant capacities under the consideration of frequency reserve and backup capacity
      requirements. Applying an extended European energy system model, we found that EVs with a high flexibility
      level may contribute tremendously to improved VRE integration, alleviating the number of necessary VRE investments
      to achieve emission-reduction goals. Simultaneously, overall system costs are reduced even though
      necessary investments in controllable plants, ensuring the abovementioned system stability needs, significantly
      increase. Policy makers should hence ensure sufficient incentives to both exploit the EVs’ potential and safeguard
      corresponding investments in controllable plants, which need to remain attractive even though full-load hours
      are decreasing.

      There is an ongoing debate on the introduction of capacity markets in most European countries while a few of them have already established capacity markets. Since the implementation of independent national capacity markets is not in line with the target of a pan-European internal electricity market we investigate the impacts of uncoordinated capacity markets compared with coordinated capacity markets. A probabilistic approach for the determination of capacity requirements is proposed and a European electricity market model (E2M2s) is applied for evaluation. The model simultaneously optimizes investments and dispatch of power plants. Besides the impact on generation investments, market prices and system costs we analyze effects on production and security of supply. While coordinated capacity markets reveal high potentials for cross-border synergies and cost savings, uncoordinated and unilateral implementations can lead to inefficiencies, in particular free riding effects and endanger security of supply due to adverse allocation of generation capacity.

      We present a stochastic modelling approach to describe the dynamics of hourly electricity prices. The suggested methodology is a stepwise combination of several mathematical operations to adequately characterize the distribution of electricity spot prices. The basic idea is to analyze day-ahead prices as panel of 24 cross-sectional hours and to identify principal components of hourly prices to account for the cross correlation between hours. Moreover, non-normality of residuals is addressed by performing a normal quantile transformation and specifying appropriate stochastic processes for time series before fit. We highlight the importance of adequate distributional forecasts and present a framework to evaluate the distribution forecast accuracy. The application for German electricity prices 2015 reveal that: (i) An autoregressive specification of the stochastic component delivers the best distribution but not always the best point forecasting results. (ii) Only a complete evaluation of point, interval and density forecast, including formal statistical tests, can ensure a correct model choice.

      Mit dem weiteren Ausbau fluktuierender erneuerbarer Energien (EE) steigen in Zukunft die Anforderungen an die Aufrechterhaltung der Systembilanz. Aufgrund der Variabilität und Unvorhersehbarkeit der EE-Einspeisung wird sich der Regelleistungsbedarf in Zukunft erhöhen. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, sind adäquate Reservebemessungsverfahren von großer Bedeutung. Während in der Praxis in der Regel einfache deterministische oder probabilistische Modelle angewendet werden, entwickeln wir in diesem Beitrag ein verbessertes dynamisches Verfahren zur Reservebemessung unter Verwendung nichtparametrischer Verteilungen zur Beschreibung der Prognosefehler. Ein weiterer Mehrwert des vorgestellten Ansatzes besteht in der Berücksichtigung zeitabhängiger Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen für Kraftwerksausfälle und einer anschließenden Faltung von konditionalen Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen für Last-, Wind- und Solarprognosefehler. Das dynamische Verfahren wird mit einem statischen Ansatz zur Reservebemessung mit unkonditionalen Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen verglichen. Basierend auf historischen Daten quantifizieren wir den Regelleistungsbedarf und analysieren die ökonomischen Auswirkungen dynamischer Reservebedarfe mit Hilfe einer Fallstudie für Deutschland und die Betrachtungsjahre 2013 und 2030.

      With ever increasing shares of intermittent renewables also the need for flexible supply and demand resources as well as storages is increasing. In particular it is expected that decentralized storages and demand response can contribute to the integration of higher shares of renewables into the electricity system. This raises also a challenge related to market design which is often overlooked. The issue is how an existing small‐scale storage would optimally bid into a voluntary power exchange like those established in Europe.

      It is shown that the optimal bidding strategy is based on a simple evaluation of the expected spread. If the expected spread implies a profitable operation of the storage, (almost) unconditional bids are submitted to the power exchange. Otherwise no bids are submitted. This bidding choice is shown to be suboptimal in a welfare perspective and the introduction of specific spread products is proposed to overcome this flaw in the current market design.

      Economists concentrate usually on equilibria. For the case of the electricity market the long term equilibrium is given by the peak-load pricing model. In contrast control theory has focuses on system dynamics, that is how systems are affected by disturbances and shocks and how such situations may be controlled. Therefore rather deviations from system equilibria and ways to counteract those effects are analysed. Concerning uncertain impacts as input factor price changes and load pattern variations the dynamic perspective of control theory might provide a suitable tool for the analysis of electricity markets. Therefore in this paper the peak-load pricing model is translated to a control theoretic problem so that the impact of disturbances and the dynamics of investment activities can be examined.

      Im Rahmen dieses Papers wird das mögliche Design regionaler Märkte betrachtet. Ne-ben den erforderlichen Kommunikations- und Informationssystemen stellt dies einen wesentlichen Aspekt der Umsetzung dar. Neben einer Analyse der unterschiedlichen Handelsmechanismen und Auktionsverfahren bestehender Märkte werden insbesonde-re die spezifischen Anforderungen an einen regionalen Markt untersucht. Dabei spielen auch Fragestellungen wie die freiwillige oder mandatorischen Handelsteilnahme, das Engpassmanagement, technologische Charakteristika der Erzeugungsanlagen der Marktteilnehmer und die Ankopplung an übergeordnete Märkte eine Rolle. Aus diesen Überlegungen wird abgeleitet, dass insbesondere ein Modell mit mehreren Auktionen pro Tag, bei dem auch komplexe Gebote möglich sind, für einen regionalen Marktplatz mit vielfältigen unterschiedlichen Erzeugern und Nachfragern geeignet erscheint. Ent-scheidend ist jedoch auch die Frage der Kopplung mit den übergeordneten nationalen bzw. internationalen Märkten.

      The stylized model presented in this paper extends the approach developed by Fischer and Newell (2008) by analysing the optimal policy design in a context with more than one externality while taking explicitly into account uncertainty surrounding future emission damage costs. Well-designed support mechanisms for renewables are found to play a major role, notably as a means for compensating for technology spillovers, yet also for reducing the investors’ risks. However, the design of these support mechanisms needs to be target-aimed and well-focused. Besides uncertainty on the state of the world concerning actual marginal emission damage, we consider the technological progress through R&D as well as learning-by-doing. A portfolio of three policy instruments is then needed to cope with the existing externalities and optimal instrument choice is shown to be dependent on risk aversion of society as a whole as well as of entrepreneurs. To illus-trate the role of uncertainty for the practical choice of policy instruments, an empirical application is considered. Under some plausible parameter settings, direct subsidies to production are found to be of lower importance than very substantial R&D supports.

      Strategic behavior by gas traders is likely to affect future gas prices. Within this article a computational game theoretic model is presented which allows assessing market power on the natural gas market and its influence on the electricity market. This model uses typical time segments to represent both seasonal load fluctuations on the natural gas market and hourly load fluctuations on the electricity market. An application is presented covering 40 regions and simultaneously optimizing dispatch and utilization of transmission lines on the power market as well as supply, transmission and storage on the natural gas market. The model is used to evaluate the influence of trader market power in the natural gas market on the electricity market. We compute price changes, sales volume and power plant utilization for three different market power specifications.

      As a consequence of liberalization, electric utilities have developed different asset management strategies with the aim of reducing total maintenance costs by prolonging replacement cycles. A cost-minimizing network operator has to optimize the trade-off between costs for early replacement and quality penalties he faces in the case of outages (due to a resulting higher number of failures). The basic purpose of this paper is to identify the optimal decisions for a network operator under output-based quality regulation and to determine the main drivers for his decisions. In order to derive general insights, an analytical framework is chosen for this paper. This work builds on the foundations of optimal maintenance and replacement strategies as developed across Operations Research, Production Economics and Engineering Production Theory. As main results we are able to analytically derive optimal replacement strategies for network components depending on the characteristics of their failure distributions linked to the equipment’s cost, respective replacement cost, and quality penalties.

      Traditionell basiert das Engpassmanagement in Deutschland auf bilateralen Verträgen. Jedoch setzt eine Vergütung basierend auf bilateralen Verträgen nur begrenzt Anreize. So haben die Kraftwerksbetreiber keine Anreize, ihre Grenzkosten offenzulegen. Zudem ist die Teilnahme am Redispatch nicht verpflichtend, wodurch ein mögliches hohes Potential nicht genutzt wird. Aus diesen Gründen ist es wichtig, das Engpassmanagement in Deutschland neu zu gestaltet. In diesem Artikel werden daher verschiedene Redispatch-Vergütungsmodelle, wie sie in der Literatur diskutiert werden (Inderst, Wambach (2007), Hakvoort et al. (2009)), miteinander verglichen und hinsichtlich ihrer Anreize für Produzenten, Übertragungsnetzbetreiber und Konsumenten bewertet. Des Weiteren wird ein nachträglich zonales Modell als eine kurzfristige, effiziente Engpassmanagementmethode entwickelt. Der Fokus dieser Analyse liegt auf Deutschland als eines der größten Strommärkte in Europa.

      The growing share of electricity generated from intermittent renewable energy sources as well as increasing market-based cross-border flows and related physical flows are leading to rising uncertainties in transmission network operation. This paper presents the current and possible future operational challenges from TSOs’ experiences, and provides a comprehensive overview of expected features that a toolbox
      should contain for the stable operation of the transmission network. In addition, it outlines the research vision of the UMBRELLA project, namely better use of renewable energy forecasts, optimization of transmission system operation, and risk-based security assessment, as the possible solution to tackle the aforementioned challenges. In the end, a brief introduction to the UMBRELLA project has been incorporated.

      A global GHG certificate trading system (or alternatively a Pigou tax) is recognized as the first best instrument for combating Global Warming in textbook economics. Currently such a system is yet not in place and is at best expected for 2020. For various reasons however some countries (notably the EU) are willing to adopt a frontrunner approach. Yet it is questionable whether going for a pure certificate trading system is the best choice under such circumstances. As an alternative, specific support schemes for carbon free technologies like renewables may be envisaged, e. g. feed-in tariffs or renewable quotas ( labeled renewable performance standards in the U.S.). Two potential advantages of such support schemes for renewables shall be investigated in this paper: On the one hand the possibility to use price discrimination between producers to cut down producer rents and on the other hand the possibility to apply price discrimination on the customer side. The latter is typically done for the financing of the support scheme - avoiding carbon leakage by crowding out of energy intensive industry. These potential advantages have to be weighted against the distorting effects of renewable support on carbon prices.
