We are glad to announce that our new article entitled “Investigating the market effects of increased RES penetration with BSAM: A wholesale electricity market simulator” has been published in the Elsevier’s “Energy Reports” peer-reviewed journal.
The article explores the following research questions with the use of BSAM (Business Strategy Assessment Model), TEESlab’s wholesale electricity market simulation model.
Given the planned lignite phase-out and the expected increase in renewable energy sources (RES) in Greece:
- how will the electricity mix evolve to meet the demand and system reserve requirements?
- What trends can we expect for CO2 emissions and electricity generation prices?
- Is there room for more RES capacity without extensive curtailment?
Results indicate that the planned short-to-mid-term lignite phase-out of the Greek power system, followed by increase in RES capacity:
- is feasible and will not lead to excessive RES curtailment and
- will yield significant CO2 emissions’ reductions and small reductions in the system marginal price, with even more ambitious RES shares being possible
