Long-term electric power system planning models are frequently used to provide policy
support in the context of the ongoing transition towards a low-carbon electric power system …

As energy systems grow more complex, modeling efforts spanning multiple scales,
disciplines and perspectives are essential. Improved methods are needed to guide the …

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

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 …

Now that renewable technologies are both technically and commercially mature, the
imperfect rational behaviour of investors becomes a critical factor in the future success of the …

The energy sector transition requires large financial investments in low-carbon generation
technologies, to be delivered by a variety of actors with heterogeneous characteristics. Real …

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

To ensure sufficient investment in electricity generation capacity, mechanisms such as
strategic reserves are being considered or already implemented. We analyze the …

The cross-border effects of a capacity market and a strategic reserve in interconnected
electricity markets are modeled using an agent-based modeling methodology. Both capacity …

We analyze the effectiveness of a forward capacity market (FCM) with long-term contracts in
an electricity market in the presence of a growing share of renewable energy. An agent …
