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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Windonomics : empirical essays on the economics of wind power in the Nordic electricity market
Mauritzen, Johannes (PhD thesis;2012:2, Doctoral thesis, 2012-04)
