The effect of short term storage operation on resource adequacy

The potential contribution of short term storage technologies such as batteries to resource adequacy is becoming increasingly important in power systems with high penetrations of Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES). However, unlike generators, there are multiple ways in which storage may be operated to contribute to resource adequacy. We...

Regulatory Design of Capacity Remuneration Mechanisms in Regional and Low-Carbon Electric Power Markets

Capacity remuneration mechanisms (CRMs) are “climbing” regulatory agendas in all liberalised power sectors, especially in the European Union. CRMs are introduced to improve system reliability and to minimise power shortages to an economically efficient extent. These schemes will have a central role in future power systems. This PhD thesis...
