A critical assessment of the different approaches aimed to secure electricity generation supply
Batlle López, Carlos; Rodilla Rodríguez, Pablo (2010-11-01)Since the very beginning of the power systems reform process, one of the key questions posed has been whether the market, of its own accord, is able to provide satisfactory security of supply at the power generation level ... -
A method for allocating renewable energy source subsidies among final energy consumers
Batlle López, Carlos (2011-05-01)In a new context of growing need for renewable energy sources (RES), tariff design has become a critical component of energy system regulation. A methodology for allocating the cost of RES subsidies that ensures an optimal ... -
A model based in numerical simulation techniques as a tool for decision- making and risk management in a wholesale electricity market. Part I: General structure and scenario generators.
Batlle López, Carlos; Otero-Novas Miranda, Irene; Alba Ríos, Juan José; Meseguer Velasco, Claudia; Barquín Gil, Julián (Sin editorial (Funchal, Portugal), 2000-09-25)Changes in the electricity industry have lead to less regulated and more competitive energy market where risk management becomes a key issue. Decision-making and Risk analysis in a competitive environment require powerful ... -
A model based in numerical simulation techniques as a tool for decision- making and risk management in a wholesale electricity market. Part II: The market model.
Otero-Novas Miranda, Irene; Batlle López, Carlos; Alba Ríos, Juan José; Meseguer Velasco, Claudia; Barquín Gil, Julián (Sin editorial (Funchal, Portugal), 2000-09-25)The algorithm we present in this paper defines a market -
A model-based analysis on the impact of explicit penalty schemes in capacity mechanisms
Mastropietro, Paolo; Herrero Gallego, Ignacio; Rodilla Rodríguez, Pablo; Batlle López, Carlos (2016-04-15)A major aim of Capacity Remuneration Mechanisms (CRMs) is to lead the power system expansion towards the level of security of supply that the regulator considers adequate. When introducing a capacity mechanism, therefore, ... -
A new RES support scheme: promoting an efficient operation through a capacity-based auction mechanism
Barquín Gil, Julián; Rodilla Rodríguez, Pablo; Cossent Arín, Rafael; Batlle López, CarlosClimate change mitigation and cost reductions are driving the development of larger shares of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide, particularly wind and solar PV. However, support schemes are still necessary to bridge ... -
A new security of supply mechanism for the Iberian market
Batlle López, Carlos; Solé Martín, Carlos; Rivier Abbad, Michel Luis (2008-03-01)So far, the Spanish electricity system is the only one in Europe to implement a security or reliability of supply mechanism from the outset. After 10 years of controversial operation, on the occasion of the regulatory ... -
A probabilistic model for capacity payments distribution in a deregulated wholesale electricity market.
Batlle López, Carlos; Vázquez Martínez, Carlos (Sin editorial (Funchal, Portugal), 2000-09-25)No disponibleNot available -
A regulatory framework for an evolving electricity sector: highlights of the MIT utility of the future study
Pérez Arriaga, José Ignacio; Jenkins, Jesse D.; Batlle López, Carlos (2017-03-01)The electric power sector is once again evolving. A variety of distributed energy resources and improving computation, communication, and control technologies create an unprecedented degree of choice for electricity ... -
A review of the value of aggregators in electricity systems
Burger, Scott; Chaves Ávila, José Pablo; Batlle López, Carlos; Pérez Arriaga, José Ignacio (2017-09-01)Distributed energy resources («DERs») are being adopted throughout the world. Aggregators are lauded by some as critical in enabling DERs to provide these valuable electricity services at scale; in this light, regulatory ... -
A simulation model for a competitive generation market
Otero-Novas Miranda, Irene; Meseguer Velasco, Claudia; Batlle López, Carlos; Alba Ríos, Juan José (2000-02-01)The simulation of a wholesale electricity market should go beyond a simple optimization based on the operating costs of the generating units. A model of a competitive electricity market must consider the market structure, ... -
A strategic production costing model for electricity market price analysis
Batlle López, Carlos; Barquín Gil, Julián (2005-02-01)Production costing models (PCMs) have been extensively used to analyze traditional power systems for decades. These tools are based on the costs of production, but in oligopolistic electricity markets market prices can not ... -
A taxonomy to guide the next generation of support mechanisms for electricity storage
Mastropietro, Paolo; Rodilla Rodríguez, Pablo; Batlle López, Carlos (2024-05-15)Electricity storage is the main candidate, at least in the medium term, to meet the large flexibility needs that decarbonising energy sectors are beginning to experience. Although merchant investments in storage have been ... -
ADDRESS: Scenarios and architecture for active demand development in the smart grids of the future
Peeters, Eefje; Belhomme, Régine; Batlle López, Carlos; Bouffard, François; Karkkainen, Seppo; Six, Daan; Hommelberg, Maarten (Sin editorial (Praga, República Checa), 2009-06-08)The ADDRESS European project aims to deliver a comprehensive commercial and technical framework for the development of "Active Demand" in the smart grids of the future. Specifically, ADDRESS is investigating how to effectively ... -
Adjusting the aim of capacity mechanisms: future-proof reliability metrics and firm supply calculations
Brito Pereira, Paulo; Mastropietro, Paolo; Rodilla Rodríguez, Pablo; Nobrega Barroso, Luiz Augusto; Batlle López, Carlos (2022-05-01)Capacity mechanisms are now deemed a regulatory mainstay in liberalised power system decarbonisation. These instruments aim to ensure sufficient resource adequacy with a mix able to meet the reliability target set by the ... -
