A dynamic incentive mechanism for transmission expansion in electricity networks: theory, modeling and application
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2008)
This paper examines the Hogan-Rosellón-Vogelsang (2007) (HRV) incentive mechanism for transmission expansion, and tests it for different network topologies. This new mechanism is based upon redefining transmission output ...
A combined merchant-regulatory mechanism for electricity transmission expansion in Europe
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2007)
This paper provides a new mechanism on how to overcome transmission expansion in the specific European context. We test the Hogan-Rosellón-Vogelsang (2007) (HRV) incentive mechanism for different network topologies. The ...
Merchant electricity transmission expansion: a European case study
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2007)
We apply a merchant transmission expansion model to the trilateral market coupling arrangement among the Netherlands, Belgium and France as a generic example, and note that it can be applied to any general market splitting ...
Lumpy investment in regulated natural gas pipelines: an application of the theory of the second best
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2008)
We address investment in regulated natural gas pipelines when investment is lumpy and the demand for gas is stochastic. This is a problem that can be solved in theory as a dynamic program, but a practical solution depends ...
Incentives for supply adequacy in electricity markets: an application to the Mexican power sector
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Ecónomicas, 2009)
This paper studies resource adequacy, i.e. the market design dilemma of ensuring enough generation capacity in the long run. International experiences have shown that it is difficult that the market alone provides incentives ...
Pricing liquid petroleum gas in Mexico
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2001)
The economics of oil and gas in the Mexico are difficult and many of the issues involved are very subtle. It is not surprising that there is substantial misunderstanding of many of the issues involved. The difficulties ...
Incentives for transmission investment in the PJM electricity market: FTRs or regulation (or both?)
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2009)
This paper presents an application of a mechanism that provides incentives to promote transmission network expansion in the area of the US electric system known as PJM. The applied mechanism combines the merchant and ...
The political economy of solar energy
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2006)
At the present time, solar power is not a competitive fuel for supplying electricity to the grid in the United States. However, an economic model developed by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) forecasts ...
Long-run cost functions for electricity transmission
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2009)
Electricity transmission has become the pivotal industry segment for
electricity restructuring. Yet, little is known about the shape of transmission
cost functions. Reasons for this can be a lack of consensus about ...
Toward a combined merchant-regulatory mechanism for electricity transmission expansion
(Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, División de Economía, 2006)
Electricity transmission pricing and transmission grid expansion have received increasing regulatory and analytical attention in recent years. Since electricity transmission is a very special service with unusual ...
