• 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" ...
    • Management, technology and regulation : the hydro-power sector in Norway 

      Rusten, Grete; Sunnevåg, Kjell J. (Working paper, Working paper, 2003-06)
      This article is a theoretical and empirical discussion about regional effects of foreign direct ownership, and the connection with firm strategies, technological innovation, and regulatory change. Empirical evidence is ...
    • Policy measures and storage in a hydropower system 

      Skaar, Jostein (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2004-02)
      In this paper we discuss how three different public policy measures affect water storage controlled by hydropower producing firms. In particular we discuss measures to promote competition, increase transmission capacity ...
    • 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 ...
    • Temporary bottlenecks, hydropower and acquisitions 

      Skaar, Jostein; Sørgard, Lars (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2004-11)
      The purpose of this article is to study the effects of an acquisition in a hydro power system with temporary bottlenecks. We apply a model with four markets: two regions and two time periods. It is shown that an acquisition ...
    • Temporary bottlenecks, hydropower and acquisitions in networks 

      Skaar, Jostein; Sørgard, Lars (Working paper, Working paper, 2003-01)
      The purpose of this article is to study the effects of an acquisition in an energy system dominated by hydropower and with temporary bottlenecks. We apply a model with four markets: two regions and two time periods. It is ...
    • Water with power : market power and supply shortage in dry years 

      Mathiesen, Lars; Skaar, Jostein; Sørgard, Lars (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-12)
      The purpose of this paper is to analyse how market power may affect the allocation of production between seasons (summer and winter) in a hydro power system with reservoirs and where inflow in winter is uncertain. We find ...
    • Wind power, network congestion and hydro resource utilisation in the Norwegian power market 

      Førsund, Finn R.; Singh, Balbir; Jensen, Trond; Larsen, Cato (Working paper, Working paper, 2007-11)
      Capacity constraints in electricity networks can have important impacts on utilisation of new renewable energy capacity and incumbent generation resources. Neglect of such impacts in development of renewable energy resources ...
