Comparative Analysis of Load Forecasting Models for Varying Time Horizons and Load Aggregation Levels
Burg, Leonard; Gürses-Tran, Gonca; Madlener, Reinhard; Monti, Antonello (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Power system operators are confronted with a multitude of new forecasting tasks to ensure a constant supply security despite the decreasing number of fully controllable energy producers. With this paper, we aim to facilitate ... -
A Conceptual Framework for Determining the Economically Optimal Level of Microgrid Resilience
Vartak, Sammit; Madlener, Reinhard (Chapter, 2022)Microgrids are considered to be an effective measure for resilience due to their ability to operate in island mode during a power outage and to ensure continuity of supply. Current standard frameworks for microgrid resilience ... -
A critical evaluation of the 2022 greenhouse gas mitigation quota in Germany from an environmental economics and policy perspective
Liepold, Constanze; Fabianek, Paul; Madlener, Reinhard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study aims at identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Quota trading as an alternative to allowance trading and carbon taxes. Information was gathered from the websites and publications ... -
Economic Feasibility of Semi-Underground Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants in Open-Pit Mines
Wessel, Michael; Madlener, Reinhard; Hilgers, Christoph (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This work aims at the economic evaluation of a semi-underground pumped hydro storage power plant erected in an abandoned open-pit mine. For the exploratory model-based analysis, we develop and apply both a simple deterministic ... -
Economics of Hydrogen
