| Inhalt | In the lecture ‘Electricity Markets’ the economic structures in liberalized electricity markets will be examined. After a short overview on the basic functionality of electricity markets different topics will be discussed. The topics will cover current challenges associated to the ongoing transition towards a carbon free energy supply (i.e. integration of intermittent renewables, sector coupling). The main focus of the assessment will be on economic incentive structures and market and policy design. |
| Lernziele | The aim of the lecture is to provide a basic understanding of the market structure and architecture of electricity markets, the application of competitive and regulatory theories to case studies, and the capability to investigate current challenges in electricity markets from an economic perspective. |
| Literatur | The short overview on the basics of electricity markets are based on the textbooks "Power System Economics" by Steven Stoft, "Fundamentals of Power System Economics" by Daniel Kirschen and Goran Strbac, and “Regulation of the Power Sector” by Ignacio Pérez-Arriaga. In the discussion part, recent papers and reports will be used. All relevant literature will be provided as downloads. |
