How to achieve a 100% RES electricity supply for Portugal? (2011, background): “The results indicate that existing data does not provide clear evidence of a significant capacity credit of wind energy in Germany solely based on the geographic and metrological wind availability [20].”
On the optimal reconstruction of partially observed functional data (2017, methodology): “Practitioners use these functions, for instance, to do comparative statics, i.e., a ceteris-paribus analysis of price effects with respect to changes in electricity demand (cf. Weigt, 2009; Hirth, 2013).”
A review on global wind energy policy (2010, background): “4 GWputting it on a level playing field with nuclear and coal [80].”
Fluctuating renewables in a long-term climate change mitigation strategy (2011, background): “g.[30, 31]) concerning the (mostly nancial) repercussions of RES development in Germany treat the feed-in priority as given and do not analyze scenarios where curtailment is possible.”
The Market Value of Variable Renewables The Effect of Solar and Wind Power Variability on their Relative Price (2013, unknown): “dramatically when solar capacity increases beyond 15% of installed capacity. Hirst & Hild (2004) model a small power system with a short-term unit commitment model and report the value factor to drop from 0.”
Does renewable energy generation decrease the volatility of electricity prices? An analysis of Denmark and Germany (2017, background): “In turn, Weigt [14] utilises realistic data on German conventional plants and develops an optimisation model, which minimises production and start-up costs in Germany while meeting demand and capacity constraints.”
Retrospective modeling of the merit-order effect on wholesale electricity prices from distributed photovoltaic generation in the Australian National Electricity Market (2013, background): “As of September 2011, Germany had an installed capacity of 20.6 GW (BNetzA, 2011) and population of around 81 million.”
A two-stage inexact-stochastic programming model for planning carbon dioxide emission trading under uncertainty (2010, background): “Moreover, Wind generation also leads to a significantly lower market price particularly during peak periods [57].”
Renewable Generation and Electricity Prices: Taking Stock and New Evidence for Germany and Austria (2013, background): “In a subsequent exercise, Weigt (2009) models the German electricity market to investigate the potential of wind generation to replace traditional fossil capacities.”
An analysis of wind energy potential and economic evaluation in Zahedan, Iran (2014, background): “Till 2010, the first five countries in terms of installed wind turbine capacity were China, USA, Germany, Spain, and India [1].”
