Boekel, Jasper (author)The primary goal of this work was to develop a model that solved the market clearing problem while abiding by all the special requirements set by the European power ex- changes. The methodology that we applied is derived from Madani and Van Vyve, who referred to it as the Primal-Dual approach. It is assumed that the optimal set of blocks for the...bachelor thesis 2021

Poplavskaya, K. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)At the forefront of energy transition, aggregators unlock value in front of and behind the energy meter. The business models of aggregators are changing rapidly, influenced by changes in technology, the market design, and regulatory framework. This chapter provides an overview of the leading aggregators in Europe and their underlying business...book chapter 2020

Van Dam, K.H. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)In this paper two agent-based models of energy markets are considered: one modelling the market for natural gas and the other of the electricity market incorporating a CO2 market. Because the energy systems are highly interrelated it is interesting to study how they were conceptualised and to explore possibilities to connect the two models,...conference paper 2010

Van der Veen, R.A.C. (author), Abbasy, A. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author)Imbalance settlement is a vital part of the balancing market, i.e. the institutional arrangement that establishes market-based balance management in liberalized electricity markets. We investigate the impact of the imbalance settlement design on the behaviour of Balance Responsible Parties and thereby on balancing market performance by means of...conference paper 2010

Yang, Q. (author), Zhenpeng, Z. (author)The increasing energy demand in China due to urbanization has made the study of different energy policies in big cities a crucial topic of discussion. This is a complex problem since the electricity market is a multi-actor system where various actors may have a great influence on the main issue we are focusing on. In order to reduce the energy...conference paper 2014

Van der Veen, R.A.C. (author), Abbasy, A. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author)The imbalance settlement design is the part of an electricity balancing market design that stimulates so-called Balance Responsible Parties (BRPs) to balance their electricity production and consumption portfolio and to stick to their energy schedules by penalizing any deviations from these schedules with an imbalance price. There are numerous...conference paper 2010

Okur, Ö. (author), Heijnen, P.W. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Aggregators are considered essential to obtain flexibility from small residential and service sector consumers. They can implement business models by trading flexibility from their consumers' assets in various electricity markets. The aim of this paper is to identify challenges faced by aggregators with different roles, while implementing...conference paper 2020

Piao, L. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)DC distribution systems (DCDS) connect local generators and loads directly. By avoiding unnecessary losses in AC-DC conversion, DCDS offers higher energy efficiency. Since different parties in a DCDS may have conflicting goals, matching between power supply and demand should be done with carefully designed allocation rules and monetary transfers...conference paper 2017

Piao, L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS), which connect local prosumers directly to community grids without AC/DC conversions, are a promising alternative to AC systems. While regulations call for market-based operation, existing markets for AC systems do not meet DC requirements and cannot be applied to a DCDS. This paper develops a design...conference paper 2018

Piao, L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)Direct Current Distribution System (DCDS), a promising alternative to existing AC systems, connect customers to DC energy sources without AC/DC conversion. The unique features of DC, including the power-voltage coupling effect, impose different requirements to DCDS operation compared to AC. Addressing a liberalized energy market, this paper...conference paper 2019

Ummels, B.C. (author)Our society revolves around electricity. Most electricity is produced from fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. The disadvantages are that their supply is finite and unevenly distributed across the earth. Conventional power stations also emit greenhouse gases. Therefore, sustainable alternativees must be developed, such as wind power. The...doctoral thesis 2009

Piao, L. (author)Direct current distribution systems (DCDS) are a promising alternative to alternating current (AC) systems because they remove AC--DC conversion between sources and loads that cause energy losses. Compared to AC systems, a DCDS has higher power capacity, energy efficiency and reliability, and no need for synchronisation---suitable where a large...doctoral thesis 2022

Chakraborty, S.T. (author)With increasing renewable energy and cross-sectoral electrification price volatility is increasing. Flexibility through demand-side management and electric storage has the potential for reducing price volatility. In this thesis, using duality theory the flexibility required for constraining price to a maximum limit is quantified. <br/...doctoral thesis 2022

Poplavskaya, K. (author)Balancing and redispatch are essential services for the security and stability of the electricity network. Balancing refers to continuously maintaining a balance between supply and demand through activating flexible resources. Redispatch refers to changing the dispatch of generators to remedy network congestion. The need for flexibility...doctoral thesis 2021
