  • Microgeneration Strategy: Progress Report
    MICROGENERATION STRATEGY Progress Report JUNE 2008 Foreword by Malcolm Wicks It is just over two years since The Microgeneration Strategy was launched. Since then climate change and renewables have jumped to the top of the global and political agendas. Consequently, it is more important than ever that reliable microgeneration offers individual householders the chance to play their part in tackling climate change. In March 2006, there was limited knowledge in the UK about the everyday use of microgeneration technologies, such as solar thermal heating, ground source heat pumps, micro wind or solar photovolatics. Much has changed since then. Thousands of people have considered installing these technologies or have examined grants under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme. Many have installed microgeneration and, in doing so, will have helped to reduce their demand for energy, thereby cutting both their CO2 emissions and their utility bills. The Government’s aim in the Strategy was to identify obstacles to creating a sustainable microgeneration market. I am pleased that the majority of the actions have been completed and this report sets out the excellent progress we have made. As a consequence of our work over the last two years, we have benefited from a deeper understanding of how the microgeneration market works and how it can make an important contribution to a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Building an evidence base, for example, from research into consumer behaviour, from tackling planning restrictions and from tracking capital costs, means that we are now in a better position to take forward work on building a sustainable market for microgeneration in the UK.

  • Electric Power Distribution in the World: Today and Tomorrow
    Electric Power Distribution in the World: Today and Tomorrow EPRG Working Paper 1826 Cambridge Working Paper in Economics 1846 Sinan Küfeoğlu, Michael Pollitt & Karim Anaya Abstract In light of the increasing importance of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the electricity system, there is an ongoing need to understand the current status of electric power distribution across the world. This review paper compiles key information about the distribution systems in 175 countries worldwide. The findings for each country include the number, legal structure and ownership of distribution system operators, the access to electricity they provide, distribution level voltages, electric power frequency and the significance of renewable electricity generation. This study covers 99.4% of the world’s population. As of June 2018, there are around 7600 distribution system operators in these 175 countries. After reviewing today’s distribution system status, this paper also reviews the various discussions and proposals for tomorrow’s electric power distribution. The discussion covers both system operation and market platform roles as well as data management options for DSOs in the near future.

  • A New Era for Wind Power in the United States
    Chapter 3 Wind Vision: A New Era for Wind Power in the United States 1 Photo from iStock 7943575 1 This page is intentionally left blank 3 Impacts of the Wind Vision Summary Chapter 3 of the Wind Vision identifies and quantifies an array of impacts associated with continued deployment of wind energy. This 3 | Summary Chapter chapter provides a detailed accounting of the methods applied and results from this work. Costs, benefits, and other impacts are assessed for a future scenario that is consistent with economic modeling outcomes detailed in Chapter 1 of the Wind Vision, as well as exist- ing industry construction and manufacturing capacity, and past research. Impacts reported here are intended to facilitate informed discus- sions of the broad-based value of wind energy as part of the nation’s electricity future. The primary tool used to evaluate impacts is the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model. ReEDS is a capacity expan- sion model that simulates the construction and operation of generation and transmission capacity to meet electricity demand. In addition to the ReEDS model, other methods are applied to analyze and quantify additional impacts. Modeling analysis is focused on the Wind Vision Study Scenario (referred to as the Study Scenario) and the Baseline Scenario. The Study Scenario is defined as wind penetration, as a share of annual end-use electricity demand, of 10% by 2020, 20% by 2030, and 35% by 2050. In contrast, the Baseline Scenario holds the installed capacity of wind constant at levels observed through year-end 2013.

  • The Potential for Combined Heat and Power in Massachusetts
    The Potential for Combined Heat and Power in Massachusetts Lauren Mattison and Dragoljub Kosanovic, University of Massachusetts Amherst ABSTRACT Use of combined heat and power (CHP) can benefit both the user and society by providing benefits to the economy, the environment and energy security. This study investigated the potential for use of CHP in Massachusetts. Research identified 120 existing CHP systems in the commercial/institutional, industrial and multifamily residential sectors in the state, with total electrical capacity of 375 MW and average system size of 3.1 MW. Technical potential for new CHP installations was determined using current average energy consumption and hours of operation for each facility type, and was based on existing CHP technologies. The remaining technical potential for CHP in Massachusetts was found to be more than 4,700 MW at 18,500 sites, with an average system size of 256 kW. The majority of the potential is in small systems of 50-500 kW in commercial/institutional buildings. The only area in which there has been significant market penetration to date is large systems of at least 5 MW. Reducing congestion of the electric grid and lowering the overall cost of energy with increased use of CHP would be particularly beneficial in Massachusetts where electricity rates are among the highest in the country. By reporting the current status of CHP in the state, considering the facility types best suited for CHP and estimating the size of the potential market, this study lays the groundwork for further analysis and development of CHP technology and policy in Massachusetts.

  • Time-Frequency Connectedness Between Coal Market Prices, New Energy Stock Prices and CO2 Emissions Trading Prices in China
    sustainability Article Time-frequency Connectedness between Coal Market Prices, New Energy Stock Prices and CO2 Emissions Trading Prices in China Chun Jiang 1, Yi-Fan Wu 1, Xiao-Lin Li 2 and Xin Li 2,* 1 Department of Finance, School of Economics and Management, Wuhan University, Wuhan 476411, China; [email protected] (C.J.); [email protected] (Y.-F.W.) 2 Department of Finance, School of Economics, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 March 2020; Accepted: 1 April 2020; Published: 2 April 2020 Abstract: This paper aims to examine whether there is inherent dynamic connectedness among coal market prices, new energy stock prices and carbon emission trading (CET) prices in China under time- and frequency-varying perspectives. For this purpose, we apply a novel wavelet method proposed by Aguiar-Conraria et al. (2018). Specifically, utilizing the single wavelet power spectrum, the multiple wavelet coherency, the partial wavelet coherency, also combined with the partial phase difference and the partial wavelet gains, this paper discovers the time-frequency interaction between three markets. The empirical results show that the connectedness between the CET market price and the coal price is frequency-varying and mainly occur in the lower and higher frequency bands, while the connectedness between the CET market price and the new energy stock price mainly happen in the middle and lower frequency bands. In the high-frequency domain, the CET market price is mainly affected by the coal price, while the CET market price is dominated by the new energy stock price in the middle frequency.
