“…As presented in this chapter, evidence confirms Zinaman et al's (2015) conclusion. Mexico's power reform is ambitious about restructuring but modest about the commitment to clean power transition, despite the ratcheting of climate commitments and the favourable trends in renewable energy investment in the country-see Valenzuela and Studer (2016: figure A1).…”

“…Ongoing innovations in energy systems often require either adaptations of established regulatory constructs to accommodate new technologies (a form of incremental change) or broad-based reform of the regulatory constructs themselves (perhaps via more reconstructive or evolutionary approaches) (see, for example, Zinaman et al 2015). Across all contexts, addressing the techno-institutional complex perpetuating carbon-intensive systems-termed by some as 'carbon lock-in' (see, for example, Unruh 2000)-is a common theme.…”

ForewordSustainable energy transitions involve the shift of resources between competing industrial sectors and political constituencies. Stakeholders in this process have varying degrees of political and economic power, and understanding how political economic factors influence clean energy transitions is crucial to effective policy formulation and facilitating transitions to sustainable energy systems. In partnership with the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA), UNU-WIDER gathered together a substantial group of experts from around the world-from both developed and developing countries-to launch a multidisciplinary research project seeking to contribute to our enhanced understanding of these factors. The project sought to facilitate an energy transition that will generate very large environmental and economic benefits, particularly over the long run. The beneficiaries of clean energy transitions are highly diffuse and include future generations not yet born. This book is the distilled essence of the cross-cutting academic project. I express my sincere and professional appreciation to the large group of expert authors for their dedication to the project, and to my fellow editors in helping bring together the book for readers to enjoy and absorb along with the findings and policy implications.

“…For customer-owned solar photovoltaic (PV) installations (residential or commercial rooftop), regulation, legislation, and tariff structures will have a significant effect on the business case of solar PV and may dramatically affect their appeal. (Appelrath et al 2012;Bronski et al 2015a;Taft and Becker-Dippmann 2015;Zinaman et al 2015) • Increasing interest in widespread energy storage deployment that is just beginning to be realized -Similar to what is being seen with renewable generation, energy storage offers great potential to both mitigate some of the complexities introduced by renewable generation as well as enable a completely new philosophy of operation of the power system, one where load and generation are much more loosely coupled. Such decoupling will allow for more efficient operation of the power system at the cost of greater complexity.…”

“…In some places, individual electricity customers have the option of opting in to programs where they pay higher prices to support renewable energy production. (CSIRO 2013;Bronski et al 2015a;Zinaman et al 2015) • Dramatically increasing technical capability enabled by low-cost information technology -The increasing performance and decreasing costs of information technology that enabled the rapid growth of the internet has continued and is enabling distribution system operators a degree of system awareness and (possibly) control that was not previously available. Traditionally, the power system information network largely stopped at the substation but the deployment of smart meters is beginning to provide near-real-time information at a highly granular level and enables a tighter integration between supply and demand.…”

“…• Performance-motivated power system operators [E] (Zinaman et al 2015)-Rather than compensation based on costs, public utility commissions shift to compensation based on performance and value delivered. This shift motivates utilities to find ways of enabling their customers to achieve their specific energy goals.…”

Qualitative Description of Electric Power System Future States

This work proposes a common basis for the simulation and evaluation of transactive systems. Using existing literature, a qualitative survey of the future states of the electric power system was conducted. Forces exerting influence on the state of the power system, called "drivers," were identified. Specific future states in the literature were identified and classified into five general groups, and the effects of twelve previously identified drivers were assessed for each individual future state in the literature. Relationships between the five general future states were defined through a Venn diagram and system evolutions were demonstrated through notional narratives and corresponding paths through the diagram. A relational measure of the complexity and extent of the change implied by each future state was also created.v Acronyms and AbbreviationsAC alternating current CCS carbon capture and sequestration DER distributed energy resource DSO distribution system operator
