Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)The cross-border effects of a capacity market and a strategic reserve in interconnected electricity markets are modeled using an agent-based modeling methodology. Both capacity mechanisms improve the security of supply and reduce consumer costs. Our results indicate that interconnections do not affect the effectiveness of a capacity market,...journal article 2017

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), Khan, A.S.M. (author)We present an approach to simulate climate and energy policy for the EU, using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach and a toolbox, called the Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The paper shortly reviews core challenges and approaches for modelling climate and energy policy in light of the energy transition. Afterwards, we...journal article 2017

Bhagwat, P.C. (author), Iychettira, K.K. (author), Richstein, J.C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)The effectiveness of a capacity market is analyzed by simulating three conditions that may cause suboptimal investment in the electricity generation: imperfect information and uncertainty; declining demand shocks resulting in load loss; and a growing share of renewable energy sources in the generation portfolio. Implementation of a capacity...journal article 2017
