Distributed energy resources for congestion management in the Dutch electricity system: An integrated perspective to improve current market-based redispatch

Rapid intake of intermittent generation units, more decentralised production and electrification of demand impose serious challenges on transmission- and distribution electricity grids. Part of this challenge is an increasing amount of congestion on the grids. The Dutch redispatch market for congestion management needs to be adapted to include...

Offshore wind + Energy Storage: Selection and design of energy storage for the integration of offshore wind energy in the future Dutch electricity system

The Dutch government has set out to largely reach reductions in carbon emissions in the electricity sector with the utilization of offshore wind energy. Due to the intermittency of wind energy this poses new problems and challenges for the future electricity system in the Netherlands. The objective of this report is to identify the challenges...

The Lebanese Electricity Sector: A Novel Polycentric Design

This paper presents a new theoretical approach to design a polycentric electricity sector. The study focuses on Lebanon and its electricity sector, and tries to reform the sector using a proposed polycentric structure. The study utilises the polycentric indicators and general structure, along with organisational modes, and electricity market...

PV prosumers in the Dutch electricity market: A transaction cost perspective to sketch a future market design

PV prosumers could have a significant contribution to the 20/20/20 goals, but the Dutch electricity system is not equipped for this. The current net metering policy has an uncertain future and net metering takes away the time dependent, system critical, component of the balance of demand and supply for prosumers. An integrated transaction cost...
