To ensure sufficient power generation capacity and minimize the risk of blackouts, many
countries have introduced capacity mechanisms that provide payments for power plants …

The low carbon energy transition has attracted worldwide attention to mitigate climate
change. Renewable energy (RE) is the key to this transition, with significant developments to …

In recent years, electricity markets have been characterized by a growing share of fluctuating
renewable energies, which has increased concerns about the security of electricity supply …

To ensure security of supply and incentivize reliable investment in generation capacity,
capacity markets (CMs) have been implemented or are being considered. However …

The energy crisis and the accelerated transition to climate neutrality result in a shift from the
traditional energy trilemma to an “energy quartet” across Europe. Firstly, the criteria of …

We present a power market model that couples short-term electricity markets of five
interconnected countries: Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy and France. The model …

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 …

France wants to become carbon-neutral by 2050. Renewable energies and nuclear power
are expected to make the main contribution to this goal. However, the average age of …

Energy support schemes can either facilitate or restrict the sustainable development of the
energy sector. This article reviews the interface and interaction between two types of energy …

The effectiveness of a capacity market is analyzed by simulating three conditions that may
cause suboptimal investment in the electricity generation: imperfect information and …
