“…His findings suggest that deploying RET leads to a net relief of final energy consumers. The impact of RET on market electricity prices is confirmed by other studies such as Sensfuß et al, 7 Tveten et al, 8 Cludius et al, 9 and Burgos-Paya´n et al 10 They all report an impact of RET on the merit order of the power market. The change in the merit order results in a decrease of the wholesale market price.…”

“…Experience or learning curves are one option that can be used to illustrate the impacts of RET deployment on technology costs. 17 Many authors such as Santamarı´a and Azqueta, 16 Farrell and Lyons, 12 Burgos-Paya´n et al, 10 and Ortega et al 21 stress on the positive environmental impact of RET deployment. Although emission data are available, the analyses are limited by the lack of accepted monetary values for avoided damages or costs.…”

This paper describes a concept for the detailed assessment of the costs and benefits of renewable energy technologies deployment. A first quantitative impact assessment of German renewable energy technologies use is conducted from a historical perspective based on this comprehensive method. It includes costs and benefits at three different levels -energy system, micro-and macro-economic. The findings suggest that, at the system level, the generation costs in the electricity and heat sector are partly compensated by positive effects mainly from avoided emissions due to the use of renewable energy technologies in the electricity and heat sector. On the electricity market, small power consumers bear a very large share of the policy costs, while others might even profit from renewable energy technologies use. However, a comprehensive assessment that accounts for all the different negative and positive effects in the long term, including distributional effects, is more challenging. The concept applied here allows a differentiated comparison of a wide range of effects including aggregated costs and benefits as well as how these are distributed across different economic actors.

“…FITs were analysed here on the basis of constant electricity cost, this being given by the addition of the market costs plus extra costs due to incentives. However, in line with Burgos-Payan et al [8], renewable energy deployment entails additional benefits to be considered by policymakers. Firstly, the avoided tons of greenhouse gas emissions directly translates into savings due to CO2 emission rights that are no longer purchased.…”

“…Notwithstanding, the continuous growth of RES-E has led to a noticeable increase of the regulated component (see Ref. [8]). As a consequence, FITs have been recently called into question, and the underlying benefits that motivated their implementation have been disregarded.…”

Feed-in-tariff (FIT) schemes have been widely employed to promote renewable energy deployment. While FITs may be perceived by consumers as an extra cost, renewable energies cause a noticeable price reduction in wholesale electricity markets. We analyse both effects for the case of the Spanish electricity market during 2010. In particular, we examine the level of FITs that makes savings and extra costs to be similar on an hourly basis. Results are obtained for a wide range of renewable generation scenarios. It is found that FITs with null extra costs for consumers are in the range of 50-80 e/MWh. Some of the sideeffects of a high penetration of renewable energy in the market are analysed in detail and discussed.

“…Recent studies on renewable energy sources (RES) show complexity in controlling and offsetting over and under production events [1,2]. As described in [3], the main limitations of RES are due to their intermittent and fluctuating behaviour, especially for solar and wind power plants.…”

Dynamic Analysis of a Hybrid Energy Storage System (H-ESS) Coupled to a Photovoltaic (PV) Plant

et al. 2018

Nowadays energy storage is strongly needed to allow grid safety and stability due to the wide penetration of renewable plants. Mainly economic and technological issues impede a relevant integration of conventional storage devices in the energy system. In this scenario, the hybridization of different storage technologies can be a techno-economic solution useful to overcome these issues and promote their diffusion. Hybridization allows multi-operation modes of the Energy Storage System (ESS), merging the positive features of base-technologies and extending their application ranges. This paper provides a dynamic analysis of a hybrid energy storage system (H-ESS) consisting of a flywheel and a battery pack coupled to a photovoltaic generation plant and a residential load up to 20 kW. A dynamic model of the overall micro-grid (MG) was developed implementing the H-ESS preliminary sizing and a suitable management algorithm. The instantaneous behavior of each component was evaluated. A brief summary of the MG performance at different weather and load conditions was provided together with a characterization of the impact of power fluctuations on the battery current and on the power exchange with the grid.
