Variation is broken down into jump and continuous components using quadratic variation theory. Then several heterogeneous autoregressive models are estimated for the logarithmic and standard deviation transformations. GARCH structures are included in the error terms of the models when evidence of conditional heteroscedasticity is found. Model selection is based on various out-of-sample criteria. Under the logarithmic transformation the simplest model outperforms the rest. Under the standard deviation transformation, jump detection before model estimation is useful to improve forecasting.","PeriodicalId":416082,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125383131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the storage system is utilized first of all to increase the self-consumption of energy for a prosumer, then the same storage system is utilized to reduce imbalance charges. The analysis of imbalances costs varying the capacity of storage system and the accuracy of the production forecasts is carried out.

Despite the European pursuit of a sustainable generation system, the claim for a certain level of security of supply remains which requires investments in new power plants in the long term. Thereby, the question arises whether generation adequacy should be addressed on a national or pan-European level. Thus, this paper evaluates three different interpretations of generation adequacy by optimizing respective least-cost development paths of the European generation stack. The results show that cross-border approaches lead to a reduced amount of new expansion compared to national concepts (−41 GW) while satisfying a comparable level of security of supply.","PeriodicalId":416082,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133244004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed time series model is suitable to quantify the impact of wind and solar forecasting errors. Due to the considered threshold specification assymetric dependency structures can be captured as well. Additionally it describes well the autoregressive and seasonal effects of intraday electricity prices such as the relationship to day-ahead electricity prices. The methodology is applied to the German intraday market and includes the dependence of the German/Austrian EPEX and EXAA day-ahead markets. Moreover, we discuss the evidence of time-varying and asymmetric effects of wind and solar power forecasting errors. Our findings show that given the considered modeling framework there is no statistically significant evidence that positive wind or solar forecasting errors have a different impact on intraday electricity prices than negative ones.","PeriodicalId":416082,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121766593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a logit model the determinants of energy efficiency innovations are studied. The results give special highlights to belonging or not to an economic group and the access to public finance as the main determinants. It also seems that organizational innovation comes usually hand by hand with eco-innovation. Consequently, it is highlighted the need to design cross-cutting policies to generate incentives for innovative firms in Portugal, and by sectors, to jointly tackle the challenges associated with energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":416082,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124284388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In accordance to the new policies and regulations aimed at creation of the Internal Electricity Market (IEM), Europe is evolving towards an integration of the electricity markets under a unified framework. Integrating the electricity markets already existing in the European countries represents a great challenge, since multiple agents' strategic behaviors may appear depending on the state of the interconnections. When modeling this effect, the aim is to characterize each strategy by means of a conjectured price response, as a function of the state of the network. The methodology introduced in this paper reduces the possible network configurations thereby making the problem computationally tractable. Finally, this methodology has been applied to a two-year planning model for a set of nine European countries.","PeriodicalId":416082,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125332261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
