Flexible hydrogen production : a comprehensive study on optimizing cost-efficient combinations of production and storage capacity to exploit electricity price fluctuations
Strømholm, Lars Skaugen; Rolfsen, Raag August Sandal (Master thesis, 2021)Due to the high costs related to green hydrogen, most of the world’s hydrogen today is supplied from grey hydrogen, resulting in a substantial carbon footprint. However, with decreasing capital costs, and the possibility ... -
Flexible Production of Green Ammonia : An Optimisation Approach to Cost-Efficient and Adaptable Power to Ammonia Production in Denmark
Ellertsen, John Kristian; Haugen, Sondre Gunnar (Master thesis, 2023)The majority of global ammonia production relies on non-renewable energy, as green ammonia is substantially more expensive. However, the energy landscape is changing, and countries like Denmark are expanding their capacity ... -
Flow-Based Market Coupling in the European Electricity Market – A Comparison of Efficiency and Feasibility
Bjørndal, Endre; Bjørndal, Mette; Cai, Hong (Discussion paper;14/18, Working paper, 2018-10-23)In May 2015, the Flow-Based Market Coupling (FBMC) model replaced the Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) model in Central Western Europe to determine the power transfers between countries or price areas. The FBMC model aims ... -
Flow-based market coupling in the nordic power market : implications for power generators in NO5
Brose, Eirik Braaten; Haugsbø, Andreas Sandal (Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this thesis is to study the effect of the introduction of flow-based market coupling in the Nordic power market, with specific focus on the impact on power generators in the NO5 price area. The analysis is ... -
Går samfunnet i pluss med plusskunder? : en litteraturstudie av plusskunders samfunnsøkonomiske verdi i Norge, hvilken utvikling man kan forvente i antall plusskunder fremover og betydning for regulering
Vestby, Line; Dvergsnes, Alexander (Master thesis, 2017)Plusskunder er et relativt nytt fenomen i Norge og en ser allerede i dag vekst i dette segmentet. Det er derfor av stor interesse å undersøke hvilke virkninger plusskunder vil ha for kraftsystemet og samfunnet for øvrig. ... -
Guarantees of Origin and Competition in the Spot Electricity Market
Blázquez, Mario; Hovdahl, Isabel; Arve, Malin; Bjørndal, Endre; Bjørndal, Mette (Discussion paper;24/23, Working paper, 2023-12-15)We study the effect of introducing a market for green energy attributes on the market for the energy itself. In Europe, renewable energy producers receive Guarantees of Origin (GOs) that they can sell to consumers who wish ... -
Hybrid Pricing in a Coupled European Power Market with More Wind Power
Bjørndal, Endre; Bjørndal, Mette; Cai, Hong; Panos, Evangelos (Discussion paper;28/15, Working paper, 2015-10-28)In the European market, the promotion of wind power leads to more network congestion. Zonal pricing (market coupling), which does not take the physical characteristics of transmission into account, is the most commonly ... -
