Workshop: Electricity market reform in Europe
2023-03-31 09:30 - 16:00 | Copenhagen Business School, Porcelænshaven 16A, Frederiksberg, 2000, Denmark
Join us for a workshop on Electricity market reform in Europe organised jointly by Oxford Institute for Energy Studies and Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure.
After a good year of soaring wholesale prices, many have come to blame market design for translating gas price increases into electricity revenues, irrespective of the primary energy source. As a consequence, the European Commission is now consulting a wide range of reform options for the European electricity market. Beyond the current energy crisis and short-term issues, the concern remains that market design is not fit for deep penetration of renewable electricity, with either low price levels or uncertain changes in market design jeopardizing the large-scale investments that are needed.
Topics for discussion include:

Markets within the framework of infrastructure addressing issues of congestion, investment perspectives and innovation
Fundamental reforms vs. incremental change including the conundrum of energy only and zero marginal cost market, a perspective for nodal pricing and decentralization
Market interventions meaning price-caps, hedging, contracts for difference among others

Each panel will take up 90 minutes and feature several expert impulses but giving room for actual discussions among the participants.

2023-05-11 15:00 - 16:00 | Copenhagen Business School, Porcelænshaven 16A, Frederiksberg, 2000, Denmark
Speaker: Jacobo Ramirez, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School
The seminar takes place in Porcelænshaven 16A, room 2.80.
Abstract:
This qualitative study examines the impact of green energy investment on the Indigenous Wayúu people of La Guajira, Colombia, through the theoretical frameworks of coloniality of power and decolonial feminism. Using interviews and focus groups, we explore the struggles and resilience of Wayúu women in defending their territories against large-scale green energy investments, which often cause community conflicts and fail to respect Indigenous peoples’ ontology. We found that green colonialism is often disguised as a need to invest in green energy for the greater good, but our study shows that Wayúu women are actively engaged in protecting their ancestral lands and defending their Indigenous ontology against the encroachment of large-scale green energy investments through feminist decoloniality practices. Our research highlights the importance of long-term investment and energy transition rhetoric that respects Indigenous peoples’ ancestral territories and protects the rights of Indigenous women. By emphasizing the need for coherent public policies towards decarbonisation that are inclusive of Indigenous peoples, our study contributes to ongoing efforts to promote sustainable and equitable energy transitions.

2023-11-17 12:00 - 13:00 | CBS Library Forum, Solbjerg Plads 3, Frederiksberg, 2000, Denmark
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The energy system, while being one of the main pillars of modern societies, is also one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Transition toward sustainable, resilient, and affordable energy supply is pursued with a mix of solutions, such as:

deploying renewable energy sources (Christine Brandstätt)
accelerating hydrogen and green fuels (Johannes Giehl)
capturing CO2 for utilization and storage (Manuel Llorca)
and potentially nuclear power (Jens Weibezahn)

Each of these are associated with their own economic, societal, regulatory, and technological issues to ensure their implementation and that businesses can transition smoothly.
In this talk, a group of four researchers from the Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) at the Department of Economics will discuss some key aspects related to these solutions.

Lecture Description
Energy System Modelling across Sectors
The first half of the day will focus on learning how to build an energy system model from scratch. Initially, we will build a simplified electricity system planning model with different fundamental components of future power systems with high shares of variable wind and solar electricity supply, including different types of time-varying and dispatchable generation and storage technologies like battery and hydrogen storage.
In the second half of the day, we will expand the electricity-focused capacity expansion model with data from other sectors. This will cover demands from the transport, heating, and industry sectors, as well as the modeling of the various technology options that couple the sector to the electricity system. We will learn how different power-to-X and demand-side management options work towards integrating renewable electricity.
For the examples and integrated exercises, the open-source energy system modeling framework PyPSA (Python for Power System Analysis) will be used.
Energy Hubs
This lecture will provide details on the technologies and concepts necessary to include energy hubs, the related conversion processes, and interdependencies between the sectors into the larger model presented on the first day. We will discuss the characteristics of hydrogen and green fuel production and their relevance for system modeling. Further, we will discuss processes in energy hubs and critical links that need to be included in system modeling to reflect the influential drivers of decarbonizing all sectors.

Part I of the lecture will introduce the interconnections between electricity, gas, and fuel market regulations and how to model these looking into the EU ETS and carbon markets with applications in carbon accounting and hydrogen regulations. Part II will introduce basic market design issues for electricity markets. We use Bob Wilson’s paper as a starting point and discuss integrated and decentralized market designs in electricity markets.
Transportation Sector

This lecture has three parts: (1) Transport modeling: The basics – Part I will introduce transport modeling challenges associated with projecting transitions. We will start with basic, standard modeling techniques: e.g. linear optimization, stock turnover models, etc that project technology based on exogenous demand. We will introduce how demands are projected and how decisions on technology adoptions are made. Then we will discuss the existing gaps and new challenges associated with modeling transformative changes using the traditional models. (2) Transport modeling: Consumer choice – Part II will introduce choice modeling and the methods of combining a choice model within a linear optimization model. (3) Transport modeling: Electrification and Big Data – Part III discusses the latest research on modeling the impacts of electrification of the transport sector on investments and operation decisions in the electricity system. The intention is to show how the modeling of the integration of the electric and the transport sectors can be improved, and shall not be considered as definite findings. We will also (very) briefly introduce some of the latest research on using big data to understand the spatial and temporal patterns of transportation demand and modeling efforts.
Transportation Technologies
The module focuses on e-mobility technologies and integration in the electrical grid. Electric vehicles (drivetrain and battery technologies, onboard chargers, and charging standards are discussed. Challenges and opportunities for grid integration of mobility assets are presented with examples considering, charging capabilities, grid characteristics, user behavior, and smart charging strategies. Examples from research projects and common discussions will conclude the module.
Learning outcomes: Explain the fundamentals of EVs and chargers, discuss grid integration challenges, and perform power and energy calculations.
Green Gas Modelling
In this lecture, we focus on the modeling of integrated energy systems planning and solution algorithms for large-scale stochastic programs. On the application side, we study two energy system planning models: REORIENT and EMPIRE. The objective of this is to learn how to (1) model multi-timescale uncertainty in long-term energy system planning problems, (2) model multi-carrier energy systems, including power, natural gas, hydrogen, and CCS systems, and (3) integrate investment, retrofit, and abandonment decisions in an energy system planning model. On the methodology side, we focus on state-of-the-art solution algorithms for multi-horizon stochastic programming, a type of multi-stage stochastic programming with block separable recourse. We study how to exploit the structure of such a program and develop decomposition algorithms to solve large-scale energy system planning problems under multi-timescale uncertainty.
