Dead battery? Wind power, the spot market, and hydro power interaction in the Nordic electricity market
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;2011:16, Working paper, 2011-09)It is well established within both the economics and power system engineering literature that hydro power can act as a complement to large amounts of intermittent energy. In particular, hydro power can act as a "battery" ... -
Dead Battery? Wind Power, the Spot Market, and Hydropower Interaction in the Nordic Electricity Market
Mauritzen, Johannes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)It is well established within both the economics and power system engineering literature that hydropower can act as a complement to large amounts of intermittent energy. In particular hydropower can act as a “battery” where ... -
Energy poverty in the European Union Cross-country patterns and vulnerability
Chekalyuk, Anna; Priakhina, Veronika (Master thesis, 2023)This thesis is a quantitative study based on the data gathered from Eurostat. The thesis investigates energy poverty by observing several sides of the problem: geographical distribution in the European Union, cross-country ... -
The Future of Natural Gas as a Transition Fuel : Forecasting natural gas-generated power in Germany and the United Kingdom. What can we expect from Norwegian exports of natural gas in the years to come?
Erdal, Kristoffer Eia; Bergsjø, Stig (Master thesis, 2021)This thesis intends to answer the following research question: What role will natural gas serve in the transition to renewable energy sources in the German and British power sectors, and what will be the implications for ... -
How electricity price spikes can help overcome the energy efficiency gap
Mauritzen, Johannes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Using data on Google searches, I suggest that the spiky nature of electricity markets has a strong effect on searching for information on energy efficiency goods. I identify the informational effect by decomposing prices ... -
Impacts of day-ahead power market conditions on flexible grid-connected water electrolysis in Europe : A Levelized Cost of Hydrogen analysis
Dumont, Amadeo (Master thesis, 2022)Water electrolysis is a promising technology to decarbonise hydrogen production. The Euro-pean union is planning its integration to achieve ambitious climate goals. However, electrolysis costs need to decrease to be ... -
Now or Later? Trading wind power closer to real-time and how poorly designed subsidies lead to higher balancing costs
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion papers;2013/01, Working paper, 2013-04)An important challenge facing many deregulated electricity markets is dealing with the increasing penetration of intermittent generation. Simulation studies have pointed to the advantages of trading closer to real-time ... -
Real-time versus day-ahead market power in a hydro-based electricity market
Tangerås, Thomas P.; Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;06/14, Working paper, 2014-02)We analyse in a theoretical framework the link between real-time and day-ahead market performance in a hydro-based and imperfectly competitive wholesale electricity market. Theoretical predictions of the model are tested ... -
Scrapping a wind turbine: Policy changes, scrapping incentives and why wind turbines in good locations get scrapped first
Mauritzen, Johannes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The most common reason for scrapping a wind turbine in Denmark is to make room for a newer turbine. The decision to scrap a wind turbine is then highly dependent on an opportunity cost that comes from the interaction of ... -
Sun and lemons : getting over information asymmetries in the California Solar Market
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;35/14, Working paper, 2014-09)Using detailed data of approximately 125,000 solar photovoltaic systems installed in California between 2007 and 2014 I argue that the adoption of solar panels from Chinese manufacturers and the in- troduction of a ... -
The decision to scrap a wind turbine : opportunity cost, timing and policy
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;2011:17, Working paper, 2011-09)This paper attempts to empirically identify the key factors involved in the decision to scrap a wind turbine using data from Denmark. The importance of the opportunity cost of operating an older wind turbine is shown to ... -
The effect of oil prices on offshore production : evidence from the Norwegian continental shelf
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;07/14, Working paper, 2014-02)I use detailed field-level data on Norwegian o↵-shore oil field production and a semi-parametric additive model to control for the production profile of fields to estimate the e↵ect of oil prices on production. I find ... -
The Silver Lining of Price Spikes: How electricity price spikes can help overcome the energy efficiency gap
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper;07/13, Working paper, 2013-08)Studies have shown that many consumers and businesses fail to invest in energy efficiency improvements despite seemingly ample financial incentives to do so – the so-‐called energy efficiency ... -
The value of interpretable machine learning in wind power prediction : an emperical study using shapley addidative explanations to interpret a complex wind power prediction model
Tenfjord, Ulrik Slinning; Strand, Thomas Vågø (Master thesis, 2020)The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate if interpretable machine learning provides valuable insight into TrønderEnergi’s wind power prediction models. As we will see, interpretable machine learning provides ... -
What happens when it's windy in Denmark?: an empirical analysis of wind power on price volatility in the Nordic electricity market
Mauritzen, Johannes (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-12)This paper attempts to empirically test the effect that wind power production in Denmark has on volatility of the nord-pool wholesale electricity prices. The main result is that wind power tends to significantly reduce ... -
