Energy Economics

Intro

• The unbundling regime for electricity utilities in the EU: A case of legislative and regulatory capture?

• Bidding behavior when one bidder and the auctioneer are vertically integrated: Implications for the partial deregulation of EU electricity markets– (Merchant interconnector projects by generators in the EU:

Profitability and allocation of capacity)

• Legal unbundling and auctions in vertically integrated (utilities) markets

• Syllabus

One short presentation on a topic within the field of energy economics.• Length 10-15 minutes long. • For example:

– Challenges or chances for energy companies, energy regulators or energy traders

– The electrical system (capacity, production, consumption) and its challenges (eg lack of transmission, abundance of intermittent renewables, falling short of fulfilling the 20-20-20 target, etc) for region or country X

– Outlook for (and maybe historical development of) generating technology Y (in region or country X).

– … many other topics…

A short feedback presentation.• Length: 2-4 minutes long• singles out

– 1 or 2 points that were very good, astute and clear – 2 points that could be improved upon.

Tree flashover!

Transmission lines limits

flashover


High voltage

High voltage

Dramatically lowers losses to resistance

1 KV-> 10KV

Loss falls to 1%

Factor 100


1 KV-> 100KV

Loss falls to 0.01%

Factor 10.000



Sagging of the line

High load

Clearance: Trees below transmission lines must be kept short enough

• Limit of a line varies…– The line itself- Maximum allowed sagging– Air temperature & wind

- For example, Increase in temperature from 30C to 40C can lower the limit with 10%

3 risk factors for line flashover

Factor 1: High voltage

Factor 2: High load

Factor 3: proximity to other objects (trees)

Direct Current lines (DC or HVDC)

50 Herz is the frequency in Europe


A shortage of generation makes the frequency fall

Slight shortage


A surplus of generation makes the frequency rise

Slight surplus
